Ida Lupino plays an aging starlet, Barbara Jean Trenton, on the verge of her own demise from psychosis of wishing she could remain in her movies. The actress was the Angelina Jolie of the 1930s but now in 1959, she keeps herself in her screening room day-in-day-out watching her old movies, drinking and smoking limitlessly. She relives every line, every screen direction and every plot.
Her friend Danny Weiss, actor Martin Balsam, tries to trick Barbie from her home with a new role. Unfortunately, the role is for a mother in her forties. Disgusted by this, Ms. Trenton storms out of the office and situates herself back in her screening room. Finally, she wishes that she could stay inside her films forever. Her maid enters the room to find it completely empty. She looks up to the screen and screams.
Finally, Danny and the maid enter the room, turn the projector on and there, on the screen, is Ms. Barbara Jean Trenton. Danny screams for her to come back but instead, Barbie turns to the camera, sends a kiss goodbye and throws her scarf into the stiff wind.

Okay. One guess. Actor going nuts, reliving his glory days and making comments like, "What if we all woke up to find out this is all a dream."
Any more clues?
Yep. Charlie 'Tigerblood' Sheen. There's too many awesome pictures of him, so I made a collage.
Charlie Sheen is an actor losing his mind, living inside his mind and trying to push his brilliance on to everyone because he's currently-- winning.

Here's another reason why we know we're living inside the fifth dimension. Charlie Sheen is on the front page of more media sites, magazines and newspapers over the mass protests, deaths and revolution occurring in Libya, Sudan and Egypt.
