* Felicia Dantine (40's-50's) – a delightfully daffy realtor and part-time medium.
* Lillian Troy (60's-70's) – a loveably crusty old broad; Andrew's agent.

SYNOPSIS: Soap star Andrew Rally's life is in turmoil even though he has landed the lead in Hamlet. He HATES the play with a passion. But the swashbuckling ghost of John Barrymore, called up from a séance, takes him as a reluctant protégé and gives him a new outlook on life. "Fast, funny...unapologetically silly...hilarious..." NY Times.
