Starlet is a 2012 independent dramatic film by director Sean S. Baker starring Dree Hemingway and newcomer Besedka Johnson. Starlet explores the unlikely friendship between 21-year-old Jane and 85-year-old Sadie, two women whose lives intersect in California's San Fernando Valley.

Synopsis

Jane, who also introduces herself as Tess, is a presumably unemployed young woman who lives in an apartment with her two dysfunctional roommates, Melissa, and Melissa's boyfriend Mikey, and her Chihuahua dog Starlet. Jane decides she wants to personalize her room, but Melissa says the room cannot be painted because Mikey needs it for "shoots". Jane decides to buy new furniture at neighborhood yard sales. After picking up items from other yard sales that day, she comes across an old woman named Sadie, from whom she buys a thermos.
