The daughter of friends is a model/aspiring actress. She auditioned for a reality show and got a part. There is no pay for the pilot. After the pilot was shot and reviewed, they told her she had too strong a Midwestern accent. Her various comments about Hollywood and the entertainment business were
very negative and she is continuing on with her business degree.
I knew a woman that worked on ‘The Love Boat’ for three seasons, minor but recurring part.
She finally woke up too, and got the hell out of there.
