Thanks dharmagirl I’ll check out the interview when I have a moment.

Yes, the fact that the girl was 17 and not an actress (from what I hear) was amazing. Then again, it’s easy to make a young person look older with the right makeup and clothing (they always had her hair flat, and had her wearing very conservative, mom-like clothes).

In the end I think that although the main character was madly in love with “Guy”, she didn’t hook up with him because she thought he had a really bright future in music and felt she would bring him down what with her mom and kid and hubby in the picture. So she let him go. Took one for the team!
