Toby Temple was the top comedian. Jill Castle was a poor Polak that moved to Hollywood to become an actress. Nothing went her way until she crossed paths with Toby and gave him something no one else would...nothing. :)

This describes 'A Stranger in the Mirror' (1976) by Sidney Sheldon, about comedian Toby Temple and aspiring actress Jill Castle. The plot focuses on their unlikely relationship and Jill's rise in Hollywood. 'Memories of Midnight' is about a woman with amnesia, 'Rage of Angels' is about a lawyer, and 'The Naked Face' is about a psychoanalyst.
