and wash on card
A young girl
poses in front of a mirror. Norma Jeane longs to be a movie star
like her idol Jean Harlow. Her eyes are locked on her own reflection.
She's unaware of the warning signs around her. A breeze has just
blown out the candle and beyond the whisps of smoke emerges the
ghost of the legend she'd become. The woman's desperately sad, alone,
vulnerable, naked. Even in her despair she's hauntingly beautiful.
If only Norma Jeane could look beyond her reflection she could yet
alter her own destiny but she's lost in her own world. She's going
to be a movie star...click thumbs.
