Stonestreet: Who Killed the Centerfold Model?

Barbara Eden as a widowed ex-cop-turned-private detective in Los Angeles (with the improbable name of Liz Stonestreet) who goes undercover as a cashier at an erotic movie theater to find the missing 26-year-old manager whose locker turns up antique jewelry and clippings on a missing socialite. Would-be pilot for a nonexistent series, which may explain why everyone plays it so coy (particularly Eden, who gets giddy when her boss gives her the go-ahead to buy a new outfit). Supporting cast exceptional (including Joan Hackett, Louise Latham, Richard Basehart, Sally Kirkland and Elaine Giftos), but TV cop shows of the era were already successfully mining this milieu.
