The Starter Wife is a sexy, savvy and wickedly funny tour de force, based on Gigi Levangie Grazer's New York Times bestseller of the same name, starring Emmy winners Debra Messing, Judy Davis and Joe Mantegna. If having it all in Hollywood means being married to an ambitious movie studio exec, having an adorable daughter, owning a flawlessly decorated McMansion in Brentwood, belonging to the most exclusive clubs and always getting the best table in the hottest restaurants, then Molly Kagan (Debra Messing) has it all. Until she gets the one phone call that changes everything. With that call, not only does Molly's husband Kenny inform her of his intentions to divorce just shy of their ten year anniversary (coincidentally before their pre-nup expires), but also he revokes her status as "Wife Of," instantly transforming her into a "Starter Wife"—a decided step down, if not out—in the Hollywood pecking order.
