Gloria nodded her head to Amy. What she said about the pictures made sense. People had to like your look before they'd ever consider you for a movie. Even for a small walk on part, with no lines. There was so much to learn about Hollywood, she realized. How lucky was she that she had met Amy and that Amy was so nice. Willing to help her out here. She'd be a ship lost at sea if she had not ran into Amy. Perhaps they were meant to meet and become friends. That was a nice thought.<br/><br/>When Amy commented that she looked homesick, Gloria nodded her head.<br/><br/>"A little. This is the first time I've ever been away from home for more then just a night or two visiting family in the next town over. Tonight is meatloaf night. My mom makes a really good meatloaf."<br/><br/>She said, her mother had certain meals her father always liked her to make. Meatloaf was a weekly meal at the Neal household. She didn't realize how much she missed not having that meatloaf tonight. She hoped it would get easier when she got some real work. Then she could call home with good news and be a step closer to co-starring in a movie with the Martin Hayes.<br/><br/>"Do you still miss home? Or is this place home to you now?"<br/><br/>Gloria asked her, curious of what Amy considered her home now. Gloria looked at the portfolio with Amy. Such a difference in the pictures, she thought. Amy was looked so fresh faced and naive when she first arrived. Like Gloria would surely looked like right now. She was glad it didn't have to be anything fancy. That agents and directors apparently cared more about the pictures themselves then what they were in. Even she could afford a simple notebook.<br/><br/>"That's pretty reasonable."<br/><br/>She replied when Amy said the general cost of a copy. It would make sense the photographers would keep the originals. After all, they needed stuff for their own portfolios.<br/><br/>"Thank you. I'd like work with reliable people and avoid 'other' things, if I can."<br/><br/>She had been raised to be a respectable girl. Gloria knew, without asking, what 'other' stuff Amy was talking about. Her father had made her promise to not be involved in that type of stuff. He hadn't raised her to that kind of girl.
