Behind The Spotlight Chapter 14
Jennifer and Collin bought tickets and found their seats after waiting in a short line. They began watching the movie, surrounded by the low chatter of other moviegoers finding their seats.
The film was a romance movie.
Its glossy poster featured two leads holding hands in the rain. The title: Love at First Sight.
Collin was guilty of falling in love at first sight once, but that was another story.
The film had a mid-budget, with a production cost of $10 million. A solid investment for a genre that often leaned more on the chemistry and acting of its leads than flashy effects.
Collin had a friend in the production crew who, after some relentless convincing and a few drinks, agreed to insert Jennifer into the film as a favor.
Her role? A homeless woman offering a sexual favor for $20. Not exactly a glamorous role, but it was a speaking role, and that mattered in her career.
Her scene appeared early in the film, right after the opening credits.
