Chapter Five: How It All Turns Out |
|
Aubrey, a second generation cheerleader and star of her high school cheering squad, found unhappiness when she was graduated from high school and entered the cheerless world of regular people. Despondent and depressed, she was thrilled to be invited back to her high school to train the failure-prone new squad of cheerleaders. She has great success training her "girls," but we begin to fear for her future once she's too old to lead cheers. But, suddenly, things start looking up.. |
 "My name is Herman Schlossman. I'm a movie talent scout. Hollywood always needs new girls. That's why they send me out. Last night I saw this Aubrey at a high school football game. The kid's so hot I'm positive she's due for worldwide fame. 'Kid,' I say, "just sign this great three-picture deal.' But Aubrey snaps right back: 'Mister, please get real!' It took some fancy talking, but she finally saw the light. 'I know my trade,' I told her, 'and I know you'll do all right.' 'Okay, I'll sign,' she tells me, 'though of acting I know zip. If you think I'm movie star material, I think you've lost your grip.' But my eye for talent never fails. I could tell it from afar: The camera's gonna love this girl. She's gonna be a star!" |

In 'Aubrey, Amazon Queen.' They digitally suntanned her And made her look real mean. "That isn’t me," she told them. "I’m really very sweet! Worse yet, you work me out too much And never let me eat!" Though the picture opened pretty big, Reviews were kind of cruel. They all agreed the kid was 'hot,' But needed acting school. |

For half the worldwide rights, She made $100 million from "Aubrey’s Arabian Nights." "That’s enough for me," she said "I’ve put in three tough years. I think I’ll give up acting, Go home and lead some cheers." |
