'Yes, the committee had awarded her Best Actress because of Wendy Lowe, but did that mean everyone would just ignore all the hard work and effort she'd poured into this role? Who had seen her jump into freezing water when it was over ten degrees below zero? Who had seen her body covered in bruises from dance practice?'
'And it wasn't as if she'd wanted to succeed by relying on Wendy Lowe. Everyone in the industry knew of his vile reputation. If an actress caught his eye and refused to submit, he'd make sure she could never find a foothold in the business again. She wouldn't be able to land even a minor supporting role. When he'd set his sights on her, she hadn't wanted to give up her dream of acting, so she'd given in to him. And in doing so, she'd given up the man who loved her, and whom she loved in return.'
