Star is Unborn, The

Synopsis
US sitcom concerning a young Jewish woman, Fran Fines (Drescher), who is employed as a nanny by a rich divorced husband with three children. In this episode Fran is recruited to play Juliet, unaware that the director wants the production to fail so he can get a tax write-off. The balcony scene and the lovers’ death scene are seen in rehearsal (the latter on stage and in costume). [With acknowledgment to Zoran Sinobad, Library of Congress for providing the synopsis].
