Samantha Arnold (nahteeraisamanthaarnold) Starlet's Web (The Starlet, #1) by Carla J. Hanna Starlet's Run (The Starlet, #2) by Carla J. Hanna Starlet's Light (The Starlet, #3) by Carla J. Hanna Carla J. Hanna

Genre: YA NA Fiction

Description:
Introducing the Starlet Series, a snapshot of a Hollywood star's life as she gains independence from those who control her every move. This is not a paparazzi-laden story. It is a realistic, coming-of-age fiction. The actress is a Lawrence or Steinfeld, not a Lohan. She's an isolated actress with the responsibility of the success of multimillion dollar projects - a product of Hollywood - a young woman.

Starlet's Web - Can a teen actress and a Tim Tebow stand up to Hollywood's web of lies? A fast read with plot twists. Young adult romance.

Starlet's Run - In a world where an actress is a product and everyone is a critic, can their love survive? Should it? A slower, deeper read with character development. Young adult coming of age fiction.

Starlet's Light - Young Hollywood actress, Liana Marie Michael, is 'so done' with acting. She gives up the fight until she sees the light. A sad but triumphant read. Young adult & new adult romance.

Awesome strong lion ;-). When you read the series, Marie means "the wished for child," which becomes symbolic, too.

Carla Hanna (carlajhanna) | 35 comments One reviewer emailed me wondering about why Liana talked like an adult and was confused about sex and wanted marriage. Lia is a teen star in Hollywood, like Jennifer Lawrence or Hailee Steinfeld. Nicole Kidman was married young, as was Reese Witherspoon and Britney Spears. So was Angelina Jolie. This is Liana's world:

Angelina Jolie had a serious boyfriend for two years from the age of 14. Her mother allowed them to live together in her home, of which Jolie later said, "I was either going to be reckless on the streets with my boyfriend or he was going to be with me in my bedroom with my mom in the next room. She made the choice, and because of it, I continued to go to school every morning and explored my first relationship in a safe way."[95] She has compared the relationship to a marriage in its emotional intensity, and said that the breakup compelled her to dedicate herself to her acting career at the age of 16.[96]

During filming of Hackers (1995), Jolie had a romance with British actor Jonny Lee Miller, her first lover since the relationship in her early teens.[16] They were not in touch for many months after production ended, but eventually reconnected and married soon after on March 28, 1996. She attended her wedding in black rubber pants and a white T-shirt, upon which she had written the groom's name in her blood.[97] Jolie and Miller separated in September 1997 and divorced on February 3, 1999. They remained on good terms, and Jolie later explained, "It comes down to timing. I think he's the greatest husband a girl could ask for. I'll always love him, we were simply too young."[98]
Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt at the Deauville premiere of The Assassination of Jesse James in 2007

Jolie had a brief relationship with model-actress Jenny Shimizu on the set of Foxfire (1996). She later said, "I would probably have married Jenny if I hadn't married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her."[99] Shimizu claimed in 2005 that her relationship with Jolie had lasted many years and continued even while Jolie was romantically involved with other people.[100] In 2003, asked if she was bisexual, Jolie responded, "Of course. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? If I fell in love with her? Absolutely! Yes!"[101]

After a two-month courtship, Jolie married actor Billy Bob Thornton on May 5, 2000, in Las Vegas. They met on the set of Pushing Tin (1999), but did not pursue a relationship at that time as Thornton was engaged to actress Laura Dern.[102] As a result of their frequent public declarations of passion and gestures of love—most famously wearing one another's blood in vials around their necks—their marriage became a favorite topic of the entertainment media.[103] Jolie and Thornton announced the adoption of a son from Cambodia in March 2002, but abruptly separated three months later. Their divorce was finalized on May 27, 2003. Asked about the sudden dissolution of their marriage, Jolie stated, "It took me by surprise, too, because overnight, we totally changed. I think one day we had just nothing in common. And it's scary but... I think it can happen when you get involved and you don't know yourself yet."[104]

In early 2005, Jolie was involved in a well-publicized Hollywood scandal when she was accused of being the reason for the divorce of actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. She and Pitt were alleged to have started an affair during filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). She denied this on several occasions, but later admitted that they "fell in love" on the set.[105] She explained in 2005, "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."[101] Jolie and Pitt did not publicly comment on the nature of their relationship until January 2006, when Jolie confirmed to People that she was pregnant with Pitt's child.[106] Pitt and Jolie announced their engagement in April 2012, after seven years together.[107] The couple—dubbed "Brangelina" by the entertainment media—are the subject of worldwide media coverage.[108]

No problem. The epub seems to work better on Nook. Would you like that instead of the pdf? I'm sending epubs of Starlet's Run tonight and will email it to you tonight. It should work perfectly ;-)
