A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

And the moral of this story is: trust no-one! A simple film with a simple script and good enough performances, My Very Best Friend is more of a soapy thriller than most. However, the lovely Jaclyn Smith is certainly enjoying her role as Dana, an attractive middle aged woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. I admit it's great to see Ms Smith in a sort of 'bad girl' role, and she and Jill Eikenberry share a good chemistry; they should work together again.Admittedly, My Very Best Friend will in no doubt appeal to admirers of Jaclyn Smith (like myself) even if it is not one of her better TV movies. It's a film that is let down with its slow pacing and dull feel. Nevertheless, it has a certain charm about it. 5/10

Jaclyn Smith is definitely having a good time being "bad" on the small screen. She reminds me of Gene Tierney's character in the classic film "Leave Her To Heaven.Smith is always a capable performer and this is one of her best. Acting wise, this is a top notch. Not only fans of Smith will enjoy this film but also fans of this genre.For the fans, there's some shots in the opening credits of Smith's "real" magazine covers from Vogue, etc..., well, she played a former model who must have everything even the love for her best friend's husband.Final verdict : Gorgeously Evil .......
