Cast & Crew
Episode Guide
After a quarrel with her husband leaves Mildred Pierce to raise her two young daughters on her own, she relies on her pastry skills, selling cakes and pies to friends and neighbors. She longs to work as a sales clerk or a receptionist, but such positions are scarce. An interview with Mrs. Forrester to hire her as a housekeeper seems possible, yet her pride prevents accepting such a lowly post. Prompted by her friend and neighbor Lucy Gessler, she realizes she may never land the kind of job she desires and ultimately takes a job as a waitress in a hash house. She begs Lucy not to tell her daughters, especially the elder Veda, about the nature of the work she does.
