Synopsis/Details
“Pretty Girls Aren’t Funny” explores 4 decades of Rhonda's life from the 1980's to 2020's, starting with her teenage-years competing in beauty pageants. We will explore her time in Hollywood when she was in her early 20's, where she experiences #meetoo before it was a movement, performs standup comedy, books recurring guest starring roles on television and then is hired as the host of "Up All Night." Flipping between decades to show the obstacles she has overcome to be the successful businesswoman she is today will make the episodes different from your typical show.
