She isn’t a sympathetic figure. Her greed and desire to be an actress kept her coming back.
I knew a model who made it big on the runways of NY and Paris. She was repeatedly drugged and raped when she was a teenager. She endured rapes to make it. Her mother knew what was happening and didn’t do anything about it for fear she would ruin her career and she also didn’t want to ruin the career of a younger aspiring model in the family. Before age 30 she looked hollowed-out and had dead eyes. She basically sold her soul.
