[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL is an actress in her mid 50s. Since she started her career she has had regular acting and radio work but she has never had her 'big break' and has often struggled financially. Sometimes there were long gaps of several months when she had no work.

When she doesn't get any acting work she refuses to get other jobs to pay the bills because, in her own words, she 'can't go to auditions' if she takes a regular job, like waitressing or working in a store.
She also likes flashing the cash when she does get paid for an acting job.

SIL has always received a lot more practical, emotional and financial support from MIL than my DH and his other siblings, and she was never encouraged by MIL to look for other work.

That's unusual, I think most actors and actresses have to have a second jobs to pay the bills, and the majority are out of acting work longer than in it.
I used to work with an aspiring young actress. Her day job was receptionist, it never stopped her auditioning though.

I have no relation to acting but I’m currently reading Jenna Fischer’s book on it & it is a real eye-opener of what it takes to break in if you have no family in the business [/quote]
