This is Travolta and Curtis in the mid-to-late-thirties. They are part of the baby boom reaching their thirties and starting to see wrinkles and face up to larger clothing sizes. They were looking for love in the places where they spent their time -- not the bars (remember Looking for Mr Goodbar). This is the beginning of the big money booms following the fads of the "me" generation.

When you sit down to write ... Forget she has a mother.

Perfect has a love interest, and a built-in conflict -- the good reporter unafraid of hurting the subject, and the woman in the middle of the story, determined not to become his subject.

Perfect is also about conscience in journalism -- about chasing the important stories for the greater good, and chasing the tasty stories for covers and unabashed sales, about being unafraid and when that translates into being without compassion. It's about who do you protect and who do you sacrifice all to the 80s beat.
