- Rose McGowan sat at the edge of the couch, fingers worrying the hem of her sleeve. The mansion smelled amazing, a faint mix of honey, rose, and jasmine. Yet, she wasn’t comforted by it at all. She had been in this position too many times to pretend she did not know what might follow. From an early age she had been aware of her good looks. Wherever she went, someone always mentioned them.

“Alright, cut!” Randal called for the last time that day. “We’re done with today’s shooting. If everything goes well, tomorrow will be our last day here in Fiji.” The crew burst into applause at his announcement, and honestly, I couldn’t have been happier myself.

Ignoring the cameras around me, I kept running aimlessly for what seemed like hours (because of all the retakes), before finally, a giant black teddy bear was in front of me again, which I recognized immediately.

- “It’s okay, Cole. My name is Dr. Malcolm Crowe.” Malcolm interrupted my muttering of a Latin phrase while I remained crouched on a church bench, playing with toy soldiers. I gave him a sidelong glance but remained quiet.“I was supposed to meet today. Sorry, I missed our appointment.” With that Malcolm slowly sat in the seat in front of me. I kept playing with the soldiers, fully in character, and placed a few on the edge of the bench.“Your eye frames.” Malcolm pointed out, “They don’t…

- Steven Spielberg was anxious. The film that he had been working on for such a long time was stalled once more, only because of his inability to find the leading actor. The problem wasn’t that there was any lack of actors in Hollywood. Far from that. But the person he needed for his film should be a kid actor. That too, a bankable kid actor to carry a film costing $100m on his shoulders. A commodity that was very rare in Hollywood.At the top of his head, he could only think of one kid who at the moment…
