Searching for Her Place

When Unyielding Actress (UA) first set foot in showbiz, she was projected a daring yet mysterious image. UA was attractive and registered well oncam. Thus, it was not a wonder that she immediately generated her share of male fans and endorsements of products targeted at the male population.

Soon, UA was enjoying the advantages of a growing career. Her name started to ring a bell and her face became familiar in her home network. Unfortunately, a pretty face can only bring one so far. UA then moved out of her first network and moved to the rival station, where she had guestings and even an almost permanent slot in one of its non-drama shows.

Over the years, the popularity of UA started to wane, and stories of her stubbornness started to move along the grapevine. Although UA was handled by a competent manager, UA stuck to her choices, which indicated her lackluster interest to improve her skills. UA refused to attend acting workshops and other opportunities that could very well develop her talent. Thus, when she landed a lead role in a movie, she was criticized for her flat acting (the director can only do so much to motivate her).

Other than acting, UA has tried her hand in hosting and even singing. However, as for singing, not much is expected as she can hardly carry a tune live and does even worse in lip-synching. Because time is not an ally, her beauty can only bring her so far in showbiz. If she remains unskilled, UA can bid her career farewell, and her name will be forgotten. Incidentally, UA seems to be not so visible these days, and her network seems not to be keen on using her services.

There's none so blind as those who will not listen. ― Neil Gaiman
