Amestriess worked tword developing sound during the time when other nations were discovering scilant film.

Hey! Just wanted to add a couple of things to Sugar's comprehensive review (most of which I can agree with wholeheartedly).

First of all, I love the idea of a movie actress character in FMA world. It's a really neat concept. And her list of films is so funny!

I can see where you're going with this, it has the kernels of a great character but there are definitely some points that need ironing out. I hope you won't mind that I use the word "Sue" in connection with your character!

If Trudy's mother is a single mother who is a prostitute and/or something else (you say she goes part time after a while), how does she have time to home-school Trudy? If she's only working part-time, how does she have money to raise Trudy? Is she in tonnes of debt? Did Trudy have to wear hand-me-downs and live without heating when she was a kid? These things would affect her so it's important to know.

The horse-riding. As Sugar says, how did she get so good at it? Bear in mind that being an actress is going to take up a lot of her time, and that learning to ride a horse is VERY expensive (presumably she could only start after she got famous). Also she lives in a city, so where/how does she go to ride?

Sue traps: I know your character is a movie star and therefore popular, but she is getting very close to falling into the "everyone loves her cos she's so adorable" Sue trap. Her extreme ditziness, which apparently in Trudy's case is so bad it's almost a mental disorder is edging into the "I can't take care of myself" Sue trap a la Bella Swan. It seems a bit extreme and needs to be thought about carefully to avoid this.

Flaws: She can't hide her emotions. How can she act? Can she only act when she is feeling nothing herself? How does that work? If she's feeling sad and can't hide it, how can she play a happy scene? Does everything have to get put on hold until she feels better? How does that affect the movie studio in terms of her wasting their time/money? I would honestly consider removing this as a flaw and think about some other flaws your character might have, possibly related to her background, for example, maybe she's obsessed with money because she was poor as a child, and gets angry if she feels she's not getting paid enough? Maybe she feels a lot of pressure to climb socially because her mother was a prostitute, or her background is a source of shame for her? I think she needs some more flaws in general.

Anyway, I hope that wasn't too harsh. There's plenty of interesting places you can take Trudy, but she's not quite there yet! :)
