Just Like the Movies

"Just Like the Movies" is from the "A Sweet Dreams Romance Series" #62. Marcy Crocker is sixteen and can't wait to hit the big screen and become an actress in Hollywood! Her lucky break comes when a big Hollywood film company comes to her hometown to shoot a movie. But not just any movie; this movie will be starring teen idol Lance Newmark! More than anything, Marcy wants to get a walk-on part and get as close to Lance as she can! Her dreams comes true when she and Lance get to spend time together and not only that, Lance feels that she has some real talent! But not everything is perfect as she pours all her energy into getting more scenes in the movie and more attention from Lance. Her old friends begin to ignore her and feel she's becoming too stuck up. But Marcy feels that it will be all worth it when she becomes a big star. Won't it? Great for teens, "Just Like the Movies" tells in a sort of better-sweet yet fun way about not everything about Hollywood is perfect. The story deals with how disillusioned Marcy finds out that you really can't believe everything you read about your favorite movie idols, in her case the teen idol Lance Newmark.
