"The Skylight Room" is a tale of two amazing women locking horns in Greenwich Village - one young and famous, the other old and poor, both incredibly strong and passionate. The young one, Hannah Schmitt, is a onetime super model, married to a retired baseball superstar. Eager for the right home in which to film her family's reality show, Hannah buys a crumbling red brick rooming house in the Village, where Clare Owen has lived in the skylight room for nearly seventy years. Hannah buys out out all the other tenants, but Clare refuses to budge, and until she does, the building cannot be renovated, and the reality show can't be filmed. Their battle turns into an all-out crusade in the pages of the New York Post, spearheaded by a tabloid force of nature named Tom Becker. Read all about it! Supermodel trying to evict saintly old woman! Stressful times follow. Hannah's marriage falls apart. Her children are troubled. She must get that house, to keep it all together. And when Hannah climbs the stairs to the skylight room to negotiate face-to-face with Clare, we learn all about this old lady's jaw-dropping life in the Village of the 50s, which includes flings with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Joe DiMaggio and Jackson Pollock. She was wild, she was gorgeous, and she too was on her way to becoming a supermodel - when her crazy love life took a nasty turn. It's a dark secret Clare has kept to herself all these years, until she shares it at last with Hannah - who, it turns out, is more of a soulmate than an enemy.
