Chapter 5

Nebraska peeled off her jogging clothes and pulled on a pair of faded blue jeans, pairing it with a Metallica T-shirt. She went for a grunge look; she could be anyone off the street going to see a movie. No biggie.

Only the butterflies that set up shop in her belly told her that it was a huge deal. She’d been in eight movies. The last three, huge releases.

And every movie, she still held her breath and prayed that this wasn’t the one where the world found out that she was a talentless hack. She was her own worst critic, which was exactly why she needed to see the real reactions of people watching it for the first time.

If their faces lit up, if they clenched the arms of their seats, if they stared, mesmerized at the screen, and if they sat in their seats doing the pee-pee dance rather than get up and go to the bathroom after sucking down thirty-two-ounce sodas, then she knew she had done her job and done it well.

She headed for the bathroom, where she pulled out a pair of brown contacts to conceal her all-too-familiar eyes. Something about the golden shade blended with her native looks and dark complexion made her instantly recognizable, no matter how she concealed her hair or changed up her clothes. The brown contacts took away any exotic look her face had, and since she had started wearing them not a single person had recognized her.

Staring at herself in the mirror, she wondered what Slyder would think. He remarked on her eyes all the time. Not that what he thought about her should matter, but she liked him, and despite giving him a hard time she respected the efforts he went to just to keep her safe.

So why do you keep making it harder for him?

Because she hated being controlled. How many times had she seen actors and actresses lose free will over their own lives? It happened to almost everyone she knew. She didn’t want that. She didn’t want to have to check with a team of managers to see if it was okay if she took a trip to Aspen to ski, to participate in activism, no matter the cause, or for something as simple as going a mall and shopping at an American Eagle.

Her mother had a team of people who told her where to eat, where to shop, what the proper weight range for her height was. It was disgusting. She thought when her brother took over some of her mom’s management duties that it would stop, but it hadn’t. She weighed in three times a week and kept her five-foot-nine-inch frame between 131 and 134.

Nebraska needed a manager, but she absolutely would not hand her life over to a team of vultures keeping her in what they saw as perfect shape, so they could capitalize on their cut of her earnings.

If she put a few pounds on her curves and Hollywood turned away from her? They didn’t deserve her in the first place.
