Joyce
Joyce had always hated everything about Hollywood. She wanted nothing to (do) with a life like her parents' and grandparents'. It was their mother's dream, and Joyce's youngest sister Leslie had finally (fulfilled) her mother's dream for her. Julia, their mother, was (convinced) now that Joyce didn't have her talent. However, Julia was sure that Leslie was talented. She controlled every aspect of Leslie's career, just as her father had run her own. Julia had never decided what to have for breakfast, let (alone) what parts to take, without him. He made all her decisions for her. Just like Julia was now making Leslie's. The only difference was that Leslie was a child. Julia wasn't, when her father was making her decisions for her. He was running her career and her life.
Julia's main interest was in Leslie's acting, not her general education. Julia thought Leslie could always catch (up) on school later, though she'd actually never fallen behind. Joyce was conscientious about Leslie's education, and everyone on the set (respected) her. She had an occasional battle with Julia, who didn't want Leslie to (miss) her work with her drama coach, or voice lessons, but Leslie always managed to do all. What she didn't get to do was hanging out with kids of her own age, or play, except with adults.
