Girl in the Mirror
“Spring, summer, fall, winter, she worked for Freddy Walen as she’d never worked before in her life. She wanted to prove to him that she was committed. A winner. For so many years it was easy to blame her failures, her shortcomings, her insecurities on the simple and undeniable fact that she was ugly.

Freddy worked hard for her as well. She gained a lot of experience and exposure working for minimum scale on several small films—independent, low budget, documentaries.
