Ophelia lived in a downtown L.A. Her dreams place to live in.
Since very young, she wanted to become something. Someone different than her mother and father. All the kids got dreams, and a lot of them wish to become a star, a singer, an actor. Being worshipped, being rich, living in a huge mansion. Then they grow up and reality strikes their little beliefs and put them back into reality.
For some, the dream still holds firmly in their mind. They don’t want to give up, not now, not while they are still young and have time to progress, learn and work for them. It often take an early calling, a long-time practice to become successful.
You also have to make connection, travel to the place where the important peoples lives and hang out.
That’s what Ophelia had planned. She could sing, dance and act. She was an attractive young, white girl, blonde hair and blue eyes. She had success in that little conservative town of her in Minnesota. She discovered at this small town how powerful the power of beauty is, especially on men.
She took advantage of few of them, but this was for a good cause. She would not forget them once at the top of Hollywood.
The young women borrowed money to pay for acting class, acting turned out to be more complicated and subtle that Ophelia first thought. She kept working hard, but never had the feeling of self-satisfaction. From her own perspective, her progress in acting wasn’t satisfying. She still had her look for herself, the thing that will gave her Hollywood on a plate. At least that what’s Ophelia believed. Hollywood was the sanctuary of body-worshipping wasn’t it ?
She took up singing class too. She was decent at it, her hope for fame raised even more. Why not become a pop star ? Their’s singers that aren’t that good but still make a career for themselves because they have the good the look and an attitude.
Continuing on her quest to find her real calling, Ophelia borrowed even more money for dancing lessons. She knew she would not become a dancer, and nobody really considered a dancer a star. It was just to better herself, give herself more tools to succeed.
She had boyfriends. More or less, she used them for money, and they used her for her body.
Once she gathered enough money to go conquer the West. Ophelia drove to Hollywood, ready to own the entertainment industry.
Her beauty gave her access to powerful men. Powerful men that gave her a flat in that downtown L.A. where she’s still living in as you reading this.
After false promises by those men, the young women decided to hunt for fame by herself. Going from casting to casting to never having a call back.
Until her good star intervened.
One day, some men in the street asked her for her contact information. He needed someone like her for his project.
Arriving in the studio of that mysterious artist (or businessman) the aspiring actress had to undress in front of the camera and have sex with him.
And she did. That’s how Hollywood worked right ? Nothing new in having sex in exchange for a part in a movie. Plus, she came out of there with a good amount of cash ! This was probably the start, finally, of her career !
Execpted that this sex session ended up on internet. Without her consent.
And the businessman contacted her again. The returns where insanely positive ! The public wanted more of her. More of her nakedness having sex in front of a camera.
She took the opportunity.
Ophelia became a star, a pornstar.
Her family cut ties with her, she was alone. Alone but making money. Not rich thought.
She was famous. Kind of.
Was she disappointed ? Yes.
Did she felt trapped ? Not really. Porn stars have become regular actresses and singers after finding stardom in the porn industry. She will use pornography as her springboard to stardom, the real one.
But people only saw in her the pornographic actress.
She was in fact trapped.
Ophelia still live, hoping for a miracle that will probably never happen. But she’s got hope and nobody can take this out from her. Not you, not even me.
