M: Hello, everyone. We’re talking about Stella Hampton, famous Hollywood actress. Before the break, we were talking about your life, Stella, before you became a big star.
W: Yes... Oh, but do we have to?
M: Well, I think it’s interesting. And I think our listeners will find it interesting, too. I mean, you didn’t become a big star overnight. You struggled for many years.
W: You can say that again.
M: Tell us a little about it.
W: Oh, yes. I think I must have worked twenty or thirty different jobs.
M: Really?
W: Sure! I couldn’t find work as an actress for many years, so I had to do something. You have to eat, right?
M: What kind of jobs did you have?
W: A little bit of everything: I worked as a waitress, in a department store, painting houses... I think I got fired from most of those stores.
M: Oh, yeah? Come on, tell us a few stories.
W: This is so embarrassing... Well, I remember I worked for a big department store in the hats department. It was so boring. We never had any customers during the day, and that’s when I worked. When I got sleepy, I used to lie down under the hat racks and take an occasional nap.
M: What happened?
W: Well, one day I got caught by my boss. And I got fired on the spot. Then there was the time I decided to paint house. It turned out that I was allergic to the paint. And my body was so sore after working the first day that I could hardly get out of the bed the next day. I couldn’t take the physical work. I got fired again.
M: Any other war stories?
W: Well... you are not going to believe this, but I actually drove a taxi for a few days. I got hired as a cab driver.
M: No! You?
W: Yes. I was desperate and thought I could make good tips. I needed the money at the time. Unfortunately, it didn’t lust.
M: Fired?
W: Yes. How did you guess? On my third day, I hit a pole. No one was hurt in the accident —my passenger was fine — but it scared me to death. That was the end of my career as a driver.
M: Well, Stella, thank you for sharing those details with us. It’s a good thing you made it as an actress! After the commercial break, we’ll talk more with Stella about her new movie that’s being released in September.
