Twin sisters Esther and Pauline (both portrayed by Wendie Malick, Confessions of a Shopaholic) were inseparable as children, teenagers, and adults until they both became advice columnists-Esther writing as Ann Landers, and Pauline for "Dear Abby." The competition for readers, success and fame led to a public, decades-long feud that drove them apart. This is the fascinating true story of the brutal fight between family for the title of top advice maven in the country. (official distributor synopsis)
