Struggling actress Hedda Hopper can’t get a break in Hollywood, even though an acquaintence of hers is the extremely powerful gossip monger Louella Parsons – maker and breaker of careers (and lives) through her daily syndicated newspaper column. The big movie moguls, fed up with Parson’s power over their stars, decide to de-claw her by setting up gossip Hopper as a competitor in the rumour industry. What they couldn’t forsee was that Hopper would become as big as Parsons — and every bit as much of a pain. Based on the true life stories of two of the most powerful (and arguably dangerous) women of Hollywood’s hay-day.

“Entertaining Angels” is an interesting title for this movie about the 1920’s and 30’s social activist, Dorothy Day, for it can be regarded that what this woman did, sometimes single-handedly, always controversially, in her fight against social injustice would, indeed, be wonderful entertainment for angels… or it could mean that her work was for the benefit of the ‘angels’ at the bottom of the social ladder for whom she fought daily against those who would hold them down… this included her work as a suffregette. However it is meant, this film captures much of the real-life drama that took place on big city streets, and of the very personal trials which eventually led her to convert to roman Catholicism, and a dedication to helping the poor.
