Once I started being successful we delayed having children but I felt time was running out, we had children much earlier in those days.<br />I don't consider I was particularly moral, sensitive etc but I did have a degree of common sense and in all my time in the modelling world I was treated with respect and kindness.<br />It would never occur to me to be jealous of someone like Belinda.<br />I'm sorry I seem to have misled you but there it is.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-5209351576866238432011-05-31T09:10:09.947+01:002011-05-31T09:10:09.947+01:00Erika: welcome!

No, they all quit, like you, because they were too moral, too sensitive, just too gosh-darn decent to let themselves be degraded....which of course would have led to instant success.<br /><br />Maybe it's true...but it does mean that all successful actors are people who sold out, and all failures are ones who maintained their purity. I'm not sure I entirely buy that.

Many women and men live like this, but because they're 'ordinary' people, it isn't known. <br /><br />On another note...rejection is upsetting whether you're a writer, an actress, artist...it's not personal but you have to go through the anger, etc. before picking up and get moving right along.neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-60287199366636031292011-05-30T19:47:42.588+01:002011-05-30T19:47:42.588+01:00I think the film industry chews up and spits out a...I think the film industry chews up and spits out a lot of people, you have to be really well-adjusted and a have a strong character and well-established values to withstand all the pressure it presents. I imagine it's even harder nowadays with all the paparazzi and sensation-hungry tabloid media trying to expose every little detail of your life, trying to snap pictures of you to show how "unattractive" or "fat" you are without makeup. It's so sad to see the mugshots of all these young actresses/celebrities on the evening news... arrested for DUI, going to rehab, OD-ed, getting a divorce, losing custody of their kids... It only takes a couple bad decisions to wreck a life.<br /><br />Also, you have this lasting quality of beauty.
