I vaguely remember of this TV movie i watched long ago in France because i am french and found it on the net in American..poor Pauleen! She is 17 years old at the beginning and fresh and naïve as a cheerleader with a boyfriend and many dreams of fame.But unfortunately she soon leaves her parents and school for Los Angeles where she wants to find a job and be a model.But Pauleen is so young that she is ready to accept everything without compromise .Shy and reserved at first she becomes a trash model and breaks with her family.The nightmare will begin with completely nude pictures and soon cocaine addiction and porn films to pay her coke.Pauleen who dreamt of a glamorous image will only have a porn actress image for a time. All in all this movie is well made because it shows the family background of Pauleen and the psychological tensions and the reason why she leaves her family whereas she is young and beautiful and innocent and the slow but sad destitution of her image and life.It ends with a shooting and we learn that Pauleen killed herself with a long trifle.
A movie which is absolutely necessary to watch to avoid the illusions of fame and not get trapped by money and fame. The real character,Shaundra Grant was a lovely young girl who could have lived a better life but had a very low self -esteem and couldn't say no. It must serve as an example for young girls whose ambition is to be a model.
