Millie envies Kitty's success and wants to become a successful author, also. Kitty provides contacts at her publishing company, and Millie's book is published and becomes a best seller–as do her future books. Millie becomes even more successful than Kitty, and that leads to a long-standing feud between the women that will extend for years and include Millie believing that Kitty is trying to steal Preston and results in the end of Millie's marriage. Years later, the feud extends to Millie's daughter Deirdre (Dolores Moran) who is in love with Kitty's fiance Rudd (Gig Young).
