Channeling Marilyn - Mima Tipper

High school senior Lexa Donovan longs to be more than a bit player in her own drab life - and when she''s chosen to be part of her school''s spring production of Bus Stop, she thinks her wish has come true. But her thrill turns to panic when she''s tapped to play the leading role, sexy showgirl Cherie. One thing tall, plus-size Lexa knows for sure is that she is the exact opposite of the most famous Cherie ever: sex-goddess Marilyn Monroe. Lexa wants out before she makes a fool of herself in front of everyone. But then something entirely unexpected happens: The spirit of Marilyn Monroe appears - ready and willing to be Lexa''s personal acting coach - and talks her out of quitting. Soon, Lexa''s life becomes a screwball comedy, with her bouncing between Marilyn''s acting ''help,'' her crush on her gorgeous co-star Brian, and her unexpected attraction to the mysterious Jeremy Leith. Comedy shifts to drama, though, as Lexa''s fear of humiliation - fueled by Brian''s jealous girlfriend - morphs into full-on stage fright. A fright that grows dangerously intense when Marilyn starts having decidedly un-spiritish feelings that have nothing to do with Lexa or the play. Before the curtain rises on opening night, Lexa and Marilyn will have to learn to trust their own hearts and act on what each truly needs to move on - in life and in death.
