Watch The Killing of Sister George

Beryl Reid is an aging actress who plays the character of nurse Sister George in a soap opera. Reid, who often goes by George in real life, is a lesbian who lives with the naive Childie, a middle aged factory worker whom she treats poorly. When the ratings for the show start to slip her character gets slatted to be killed off. George finds out and her bad behavior on and off set increases, leading to her life slowly starting to unravel as a result. One network executive steps in to help her but has an agenda of her own.
