I once joined a (normal!!!!) movie, for kids and we were all dressed up, in costumes, wigs, facepaint, etc. All of our own time, money and work. Thing is, the couple that paid for the whole thing (the main characters), wanted to (obviously) be on screen most of the time. So whereas I had been worrying about every single detail of my costume, the lunch I'd brought with me and whether or not it'd ruin my lipstick and was constantly checking my teeth and make up... the other two just spontaniously acted some parts, sat down, had food, filmed again. And precisely 8,5 hours after arriving at the location and not doing ánything (and not getting paid, this was supposed to be an 'opportunity' for us) I was told; 'Oh, bytheway, Widdekuu91...we need someone to stand in the back of the shot. No need to re-do that lipstick, you'll be blurry, you're in the background." Then a cameraman said; 'Bytheway, you can be in the foreground in the next scéne." And it turns out that meant sitting véééry still and crouching down in a field for 25 minutes untill the person crouching next to me, couldn't bear the musclepains any longer and fell on his knees and ruined his costume. I asked; 'This'll be in the foreground, right?" and he said; 'Yeah, but blurry, we needed a shot of the castle with two people hiding out of sight, so your shoulder is on it."

You've got a long way to go

[@kedabro1957]

Once or twice, I have seen an actress in porn displaying genuine acting skill. Then I shudder as I watch the proof that talent and dedication really cannot transcend bad luck or lack of opportunity.

[@jskuddy]

IN FRONT OF MY SALAD?

[@nicola7021]

^ my last two brain cells

[@robertthedevil7598]

Some porn actresses did aim for Hollywood and did come from a background of theater or some acting. But Hollywood is fickle. Not all dreams come true, no matter how hard you worked to get there. No wonder why Los Angeles is called the land of broken dreams. And the San Fernando Valley is always open for new recruits...

[@mrusi29]

Life in general. I’ve never seen hard work pay off once not even slightly. But it doesn’t stop the rich and the famous, all who have gotten there through connections, from preaching positivity and false hope, encouraging people to continue slaving their life away for a retirement fund they’ll never see or be too weak to take advantage of by the time they do. Dedication means nothing. Talent, skill, passion, love, all nothing. The privileged wouldn’t be as annoying as they are if they were at least honest about it. But I digress. Suicide rate is high enough as it is lest we burst all the bubbles at once.

[@lvega5606]

@@mrusi29 - speak for yourself. I earned a full athletic scholarship to college by training almost every day of high school (track and cross country). I also studied for grad school entrance exams to perform well enough to earn a full scholarship to grad school. My current company is mostly a meritocracy, though social skills do help a lot. I don't know too many people who got things based on connections, though I'm sure that exists.

All this Deirdre training got her an oscar

[@brenyatta]

Yeah, this seems accurate for an aspiring actress, in this role

[@cuchelo1]

As someone who lived in LA for 3 years and was surrounded by Graces, I can tell you that this is *uncomfortably* accurate, lol...

[@Prestonhlt]

@@masonofd i am neither a wife nor a military personnel, so i can only take your word for it. I hope it's not a personal example. If it is and you're unhappy about it, leave and don't let anybody tell you you're second place.

“Just give her the meal voucher.” Lmao

[@dennycranium]

Meal voucher? Luxury! One producer brought baloney sandwiches to one shoot. The lead actress and director were VEGAN. As 1st AD, responsible for getting the shoot done on time and on budget? I paid for their lunch. The director and I calmed down the actress AND her agent. It was more interesting than the script, actually.

[@ilayali_]

@@dennycranium goes to show how little we know about the industry. I always just assumed that they had an buffet on every set 😂But I guess it depends on the budget...

[@dennycranium]

@@ilayali_ pretty much. I've heard of instances where there is no craft services at all!! It's pretty much expected at a shoot of any budget.
