Letters from the Lot

Every studio lot ran on the same quiet rules: who got billing, who got blamed, who got let go the moment they stopped being useful. Delphine’s readers wrote to her about all of it — from actresses fighting for better roles to assistants tired of doing someone else’s job for someone else’s credit. Letters from the Lot is where she answers those questions — ambition, rivalry, the exhausting math of who really holds the power in a room. The costumes have changed. The politics mostly haven’t.
