All Maddy Freed has ever wanted is to act. When the indie film she made with her director boyfriend, Dan, wins her a special prize at the Mile's End Film Festival, she's thrilled, though she has no idea how dramatically it will come to change her life. But Maddy's success catches the attention of Bridget Ostrow, a legendary talent manager whose biggest client is Hollywood heartthrob Steven Weller. Before Maddy knows it, her career is roaring onto the express track. Bridget secures Maddy an audition for an Oscar-worthy role opposite Steven, and soon the two actors are thrown together in the midst of Europe's Old World charm. Rumours about Steven's sexual orientation have circulated for years, but it doesn't take long for the professional relationship to grow personal, or for Maddy to turn her back on her old friends and trade New York for L.A. The new couple's whirlwind wedding does nothing to stop the rumours, however, and cracks start appearing in their fairy-tale romance. As Maddy stands by the man she believes is the love of her life, she begins to question just how much she knows about her leading role...as Steven's wife.A big, lively breakout novel from bestselling author Amy Sohn, The Actress is a romantic, literary page-turner about Hollywood fame, the treachery of love, and the pleasures and pains of female ambition.
