Point of View
I am writing from the point of view of a movie star named GESSICA GENEUS. My name is Gessica Geneus; I was born and raised in a small town in the country of Haiti. When I was a little girl around the age of 6, I used to love to watch TV, it was one my favorite hobbies, I had a passion for movies and I imagined being in each movie that I watched. I grow up but the same passion was always there and then I had started with my high school I made sure that I participated in all activities including art. I started my career at the age of 16 years old doing some modeling. While on the set of the modeling company I ran into a film director by the name of Richard Senecal, he invited me to come to another casting for Barikad, my first movie. I was very nervous because he wanted me to interview for a cell phone commercial too. I was thinking to myself that I had never acted before, and who was this man that I had never seen or heard of. I was totally unaware that Haiti had a movie set or even produce movies. I was excited about the part, but I wasn’t taking it very serious due to the fact that I was young and wasn’t certain this was something that I wanted to do. I listen to what Richard told me to do and the rest is history.
I had started to work for Richard and the idea of working as a movie star was still uncertain. I was not thinking or the idea of the movie role of being an actress, but I wanted to make a good job because I liked how much money I made. There were many people who liked me and saw my abilities and creativity in my first movie. My first movie as amazing but I kept hoping to succeed after my high school. I wanted to study acting in France, but I was starting with the architecture the same time. I could not do both at the same time. I worked with other movie stars and I was the main actress for almost all the movies. Let me tell you something; I’m who I’m. in

    This novel captured my interest and held it to the final chapter! I not only learned about the history of World War II, but also of the emotional impact it had on soldiers and their families. The Gunderman family was a family devoted to each other. The realization that their oldest son, Jimmy, had to fight for his country was devastating to them. The main character, Earl, was the younger half-brother. He described himself as the weaker of the two. He and Jimmy were close and enjoyed being together. He vividly detailed the emotional struggles they went through as a family during the war and how they overcame the struggles together by trusting in each other.…

    He used to take me to films. I was always very interested in stuff like that, but because of the part of town I was from, a career in acting wasn't even an option. I remember talking to my mother one day and said, "I think I want to become an actor." And she said, "You can't become an actor. You don't look like Paul Newman." (laughs) I thank God every day that I don't look like Paul Newman. The good thing about being a character actor is that there's always some spectacled, balding guy somewhere needed for a show, and the characters are always interesting. And you don't have anybody going through your garbage at night. (laughs) I'm always meeting people who think they know me, right? "I know you from somewhere." And I start to say, "Well, I'm from this show--" And they say, "No, no, no, not that!" (laughs) It's funny and it's great when that happens. You know your work is getting out there to the people. So I just started doing it--I never really had any training or anything. Because I've always looked older, they could hire me and not have to hire the young guys and put shoe polish in their hair or anything. So I started with plays. And then the first film I did--I came to Vancouver--it was called Brotherly Love. I was playing a string of doctors, as I looked a doctor. Nothing but doctors. It was a lot easier back then because mostly the camera was on the other person and you were doing all the exposition. It's been a fun career so far. I'm…

    I started off filming shorts, which are like mini movies that show before movies. After being in a series of shorts, I started starring in movies. By the time I was twelve years old, just nine years into my career, I had been in 43 films. My most famous films were Little Miss Marker, Bright Eyes, and The Little Colonel. My acting career faded away as I got older, and by the time I was in my early 30’s, my acting career had ended. Many of my later movies only had a few people at their showings. With a lot of spare time on my hands, I did a lot of community service. Community service was my adult hobby. When I was thirty-nine I ran for a US congressional seat, but I didn't win. After that, Senator Nixon appointed me as a delegate to the United Nation, which I had from 1969-1970. Four years later, when I was 48, President Nixon appointed me to be the ambassador of Ghana. In 1989 I was appointed by President Bush to be the United States ambassador to Czechoslovakia, which I kept from 1989-1992. I had won many awards, some for community service, others for acting. In 1972 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, but I went through surgery and survived it. I was healthy for a while, then in the March of 2014, I died from pneumonia and COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary…

    As I was beginning a small career in the entertainment business, my mother was my source of encouragement. She inspired me to continue in the entertainment business because she knew that this was an opportunity of a life time. By the time I was eleven, I began using my voice in Spanish-language version of American films. Acting was becoming clear to me that it was my new calling and I cherished it more than singing and dancing. Then I received my first Broadway role at age thirteen where I was passing eleven and looking as if I was nine. I always looked young for my age. The Broadway drama I stared in was called Skydrift. Shortly after my appearance in the Broadway show, I was contacted by Hollywood talent scouts. The scout informed me that when the time was right he would notify me.…
