𝙛𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙘 𝙭 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙤 𝙟𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 Lena Foster is nineteen when she's cast as the lead in a major film. Inexperienced, reserved, and still trying to find her place, she can hardly believe her first role is far bigger than someone like her should handle. The set is intimidating, the stares heavy, and every scene seems to demand more than just acting. Lena knows she's being watched-she just doesn't know by whom. Theodore Peter James is announced as the director. A name spanning nearly thirty years of career, absolute respect, and quiet authority in Hollywood. Too experienced to make mistakes. Too old to get involved. Backstage, where nothing should happen, Lena stops being just a promising newcomer. She becomes the favorite. Some girls are born to shine. Others are molded. !NOTE! : This story is available on Archive of Our Own (AO3) and is my original work.
