A screenplay by Rebecca Buckley
Rocky Rhodes is an aging Hollywood Hooker who knows it's time to hang it up. She's not feeling the same as she did when she first began in the
business. She's feeling bad for the young girls on the street that are in the same place she was twenty years ago, and feels protective of them. She prays to God to please let her win the lottery
and she promises to do good and not ever to hook, swear, or do anything he wouldn't want her to do ever again. She wins the lottery.
First she buys a Rolls Royce and a mansion in a gated Beverly Hills community. Then her promise to God and some unexpected, drastic circumstances lead her to take in
juvenile delinquents to rehab them, against the better judgement of the Director of Social Services - he argues with the judge that 'once a hooker, always a hooker' and that Rocky isn't qualified to rehab anybody.
Her live-in "faculty" consists of two young street-hooker friends she rescues and her "Auntie-Mame-like" Aunt Rhetta (a spiritual teacher) from New York City.
This was written as a two-hour MOW, a pilot to a weekly television show. It has not been optioned or produced.
