Juno, what I was trying to point out, she was just your run of the mill High School student. Hollywood make up department can do wonders. I would say most actresses, that's if they had to spend their own money, would spend at least....$5,000 a month on waxing, eye brows, trainers etc etc, and that's a conservative estimate.

I totally understand, make-up, waxings, etc. make these Hollywood Stars the way they are and it is just part of the business. Being out in California for just those few days I saw the difference in the way most women and even men carried themselves compared to here on the East Coast. I myself have had to go through a lot of this due to modeling, but it is going to be a whole new ballgame come the end of this year.

I am not really interested in a movie career, but my career has to do with performance in live theater which I feel is a lot more difficult than that of performance in the movies or in television.

Certainly more nerve racking and a hell of a lot more pressure. You get one chance to nail it on the night, most actresses would crumble, you need so much more composure. To be honest though, it's not a measure of the skill required, I couldn't nail a scene if I had 30 takes never-mind 1 because I'm a crap actor. The only variable is the margin for error, and of course projecting yourself, it's nice to know a foley artists can slot your dialogue in again if you mess it up.
It's awesome that you work in theatre Dasher, props

My current job and my background isn't really in acting, but more gymnastics/acrobatics which is the experience I needed to land my current job. So having lines to remember is not my specific problem it is more the pressure of hitting the routine correctly so I don't get hurt or also hurt my fellow performers. Which hasn't happened thank god in the 3 month I have had the job.
I'd love to at some point get involved in scriptwriting. I'm talking a few years down the line, I'm six months into my first book and I haven't even begun a first draft.

When you do start screenwriting, make sure you get Final Draft. It's the best software out there.
