My name is Matt Rivers and I used to be a talent scout for "Click" model and talent agency in LA. I was recently in Los Vegas on business. While there I turned on the tv in my hotel room. Pleasantly surprised, I saw a familiar face and former talent, Miss Holly Starr. Not surprising, she was even more beautiful than I remembered her 10 years ago. As any male would, I googled Miss Starr to catch up on her. After pages of info, I stumbled onto this site. With that said, I wish to set the record straight and correct DANE MCCLOUD . First, may I say that I found it ironic that HE is originally from Kansas and now claims to be " in the entertainment field in LA." I google him as well and literally found NOTHING> Anyway, alluding to the purpose of this reply, let the record show that I am not generally irascible but his ignorance and rancor set me off and I felt a muscle jump in my jaw. More importantly let the record also show that Miss Starr's BIO is 100 percent accurate and truthful. Although I do not remember everything, Holly came to LA with her agent from Kansas City. She had just declined the opportunity to model in Germany( I think it was Germany) and her local agency felt her talents were greater than what the midwest had to offer. They were correct. While with Click, Holly was very marketable with her commercial , girl next door look. She obtained work and did very well as I remember her being chosen out of hundreds as extras in several films and doing adds and commercials. Her stay in LA was short lived only as a result of her own choice. She had a signed a years contract but I remember a meeting we had in regard to her wanting to leave California . The reasons given were true. She was not comfortable with the lifestye there and for this reason, she was not driven enough to stay. I remember this because this was something very rare and unusual for those of us in the business. Her moral compass was more important. After she returned to her home the agency WAS contacted by a casting affiliate from SUNSET BEACH offering her a re-occuring role in their soap opera. It was not a huge role but could have led to something. Holly was back in college and I recall that her GPA was one of the reasons given to decline the offer despite our encourgement. She would have had to drop out resulting in the loss of her 4.0 or something. Bottom line is I steadfastly stand up for Miss Starr because seldom do you meet people who are not willing to sacrifice their beliefs for fame and fortune. I realize that there are always going to be people who get personal satisfaction by stiking out and making comments about innocent people who they know nothing about, but there are also people such as myself who will take the time to correct them. In a nutshell, Holly Starr was the real deal and from what I have been reading, she still is.
