Alyson was strolling onto set with dark glasses and an attitude that she must have picked up along the way.

“Lights, camera, action,” she said drolly, throwing her wet tote bag (holding her bathing suit and beach towel) onto the floor of the trailer. “Never thought I would be a movie star.” She wiggled in her chair and puffed up her hair in the mirror.

I warned her that she better drop this attitude before she bumped into Danielle. “Why? I’m not scared of her.” Alyson scoffed and put her glasses back on, even though we were indoors and we needed to put makeup on her face.

“You’re only saying that because you’ve never met her.” I pulled the glasses off and called the crew member over.

Alyson only needed a few minutes in the makeup chair to get a touch of powder and some gel in her hair to hold it while we drenched it underneath the rain machines. But she used that time to rant and rave about what a favor she was doing for all of us. “I hope I will be getting paid accordingly. Looks like I have saved the day once again.”

“Shh!” I said, warning Alyson to keep her voice down. I pulled back the curtain and peeked out to make sure that Danielle wasn’t on her way. She could move fast. Like a snake. Attack you when you least expected it.

“I can’t believe you even went back to working for her if she is that bad,” Alyson said.

“It’s only temporary. Very temporary,” I said as I gave Alyson’s head one more spray of hairspray. I wasn’t sure that the hair guy had applied enough. Alyson was going to get drenched out there on set.

The door swung open without even a knock. I braced myself for Danielle to meet Alyson. For Danielle to roll her eyes and say something scathing. But she just paused and looked around. then smiled sweetly at Alyson. “You look beautiful!” she said, clapping her hands together. “Why, you look just like a lead actress should. Shooting starts in ten minutes, doll.”

“She doesn’t seem so bad,” Alyson whispered to me as she got out of her chair. Hmm.

“Action!” Alyson was nailing it on set and Danielle was throwing out words of encouragement. It continued to be all flowers and sunshine until the scene where Alyson had to be lifted up by the lead actor and Danielle picked up her walky talky. “We have a problem here. We’re going to need someone stronger!” Then she just walked right off set.

Alyson turned to me, her face distraught. “Is she insinuating that I am heavier than the lead actress?”

This was the kind of mess that Danielle regularly dumped on me. Well, it was less like messes and more like little fires that Danielle set and then left for me to put out. It was always up to me to calm down the talent while she just walked away and started the next fire.

Well, to be fair, most people on the planet were heavier than our lead actress.
