STS Ch-60
“What do you mean she’s not good for this role?” I asked, barely stopping myself from shouting at the director. “The moment she started acting, it felt like she was made for this part. And she’s tall too, just like you wanted.” Paul leaned back in his chair and shook his head slowly. “I can’t say it with certainty. I just didn’t like her. Not once did she look me or anyone else in the eye. That’s not the sign of a good actor.” Samuel Rivers, the studio executive sitting in on…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

I didn’t know what I was expecting when I drove over to Michelle’s place, but it definitely wasn’t the small, one-bedroom house with an adjoining studio. It was located just outside New York City, not too far from my place. The house was neat but could’ve used an upgrade. The fact that a big-shot casting director like Vic Ramos recommended this place to actors made me realize one thing about the profession: acting fucking sucks. For most people, at least. Unlike other coveted careers, acting…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“That’s a great fucking idea!” Bob exclaimed as we walked side by side through the crowded airport terminal. “It hadn’t even occurred to me that Marty’s mother might see him as a prospective lover. That’ll be a good comedic beat to add to the story.” I nodded, adjusting the strap of my carry-on. “Just make sure you don’t take it too far into weird territory. She’s still his mother.” “Of course,” he agreed quickly. “I was just thinking that I could…” He was cut off…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“I’ll miss you.” Daisy hugged me tightly for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, her fingers bunching into the back of my jacket as if she could anchor me in place. “Why do you have to go back at all?” “It’s just for a few months,” I assured her, rubbing her back gently. The airport moved around us with rolling suitcases and distant boarding announcements, but in that moment, it felt strangely quiet. “Once I’m done shooting that film, I’ll be back in LA, and this time…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

Jessica bounced lightly on the balls of her feet as she stood outside the movie hall, barely able to contain her excitement. The unmistakable buttery scent of popcorn drifted in the waiting area, prompting more than one person to buy the snack. Even Jessica couldn’t help herself and had bought a large tub along with a big glass of Coke. “Who would’ve thought this film would draw such a crowd?” her best friend Annie said, glancing around at the sea of people waiting beside them. Jessica…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“Hollywood ignores all boundaries of propriety.” When I picked up this month’s edition of Rolling Stone, I wasn’t prepared for the shock that awaited me. The cover was startlingly bold, almost confrontational. It featured two teenage stars of the film , barely adults, posing with hardly any clothes on. The glossy paper and oversized headline only amplified the audacity of it. As I turned the pages and took in the full spread, my disbelief curdled into anger. I was appalled by how far Rolling…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“Noah!” Randal Kleiser’s voice cut through the theater lobby as he strode over, his arms open wide. He pulled me into a tight, earnest hug. “It’s so good to see you!” Just behind him, Julie offered a small, familiar smile and a gentle wave. These last few days, Julie and I had been inseparable on our shared promotional tour, so her presence was no surprise. Randal, however, was a different story. As the director, he hadn’t been part of the press circuit; this wasn’t an era where…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

The cover photo featured a couple. A red-haired girl with freckles scattered across her bare back posed confidently in nothing but bikini bottoms, her skin glowing under the studio lights. She was pressed against a taller man who stared straight into the camera with an intense, almost challenging expression. His golden blond hair and striking blue eyes made Jessica’s heart skip. The girl had slipped a few fingers into the waistband of his underwear, tugging them down just enough to reveal his hips.…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“Holy shit! That was the best film I’ve ever seen!” Daisy shouted the second the screen faded to black. “Language!” Mom scolded, shooting Daisy a sharp look. “We talked about this, Daisy. You need to control how you express yourself better. You’re not a kid anymore.” Daisy rolled her eyes and gave Mom a defiant stare before turning to me, throwing her hands up in frustration. “See what I have to deal with? On top of schoolwork, Zach’s nonsense, and now Mom too. You and Zach say…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
