synopsis
The 55-minute made-for-TV drama Just Like Us is of interest primarily because of one of its stars. Two young women live in starkly opposite social circles. Fate brings the girls together. Both overcome prejudices over how the "other half" lives. Costars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kari Michaelsen are equally fine, though only Leigh went on to lasting stardom.
