Holly Starr

[Stewie]

She's purty.

This morning Steven St. John said she really knows how to grow melons. I agree. They are the bestest.

And what is up with Seth Rogan? Seriously. I mean, he was tolerable in 40 Year Old Virgin, but why am I being forced to swallow the same lackadaisical, lovable loser, stoner schtick for every movie that has come out in the past year and a half? And what is with his bottom lip? Does he chew tobacco or something? And what is the deal with that fat kid whose had bit parts in all those crappy Rogan films now getting mainstream stuff like that Museum movie? You know, that painful to look at kid with the horrible hair in Superbad, 40 YOV, Leaving Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, et al. I mean, seriously...why? He's not funny. Horrible to look at. Can't act. What gives? And what is with this crappy "Let's make it look all indie film" Kevin Smith (whose blown dog ass ever since Clerks anyway), Judge Apatow stuff all the rage? Stop filming with grandpa's Super 8, buy a decent camera, get decent actors and make a ****ing decent film for god's sake!

Now back to your regularly scheduled viewing of the Planet's newest girl-next-door hot, Miss Holly Starr:

I call utter Bullshit. No undiscovered actor or actress (and I mean NO ONE) turns down a chance to be on a Soap Opera, especially given the fact that she already lived in Hollywood.

Bullshit. Complete and utter Bullshit.

However, L.A.’s wild and reckless lifestyle did not appeal to the Midwestern, small town girl and Holly came home to Kansas City where she graduated with honors from Park University.

Ha! More likely, she moved out here, found out that there were 50,000 women within an 8 square block radius that were more driven, more talented and far more attractive, so she high-tailed it back home to the safety of KC.

I hate disingenuous nonsense like that of her bio.

It reeks of amateurism.

Yup. You're dead on, I'll bet. That bio is full of lipstick-on-a-pig b.s. She didn't have the dedication or the chops to make it, so she made up some phony lifestyle-clash story.

Do you guys still keep in touch?

We saw each other at the 10-year Shawnee Mission East (PV Kansas) reunion about 20 years ago. He hasn't been back since that I know of. He was a PA at that point but had great ideas. It has certainly paid off. It's funny but another friend made it big in that business... all from little Kansas.

Dude, I am not a movie producer. I do play a role in movie production but I am not a movie producer.

And if I were this gentleman friend of Stewie's (which I am not), I certainly would not be embarrassed by one flop, especially given his track record.

That's cool, Stewie!

Believe it or not, many successful people working in Hollywood weren't born or raised in SoCal. I wouldn't say it's a "majority" but in my experience, a large portion of people that I've known and met in every facet of film & television have been transplants.

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.

If you are still in the talent scouting business, we've got a budding model right here at Chiefsplanet.com > http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/member.php?u=3815

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Do you work with plus size models? Perhaps I could point you to this thread.

I am no longer in the model/talent business but would still recommend Click agency in LA.

First off, it's Las Vegas, genius. Secondly, why would you see Holly Starr in Vegas? Please, do tell.

Yeah, right. She looks like a beat, average 30 year old. No wonder "Click" models operates in a tiny little office and has no real models to speak of. Wow.

Sure. Pages, huh? I just did a Google search and it was on the first page. 6th link down after Facebook and two myspace pages, along with her official page.

It seems that the only people talking about her are Chiefsplanet and herself.

Excuse me? Um, you're a member now, my info is in my Bio. I've lived in Los Angeles for nearly 17 years and worked at Universal & Paramount Studios. I'm currently working in the movie business in "Post-Production" (I'll let you figure that one out, genius).

FTR (and with all due respect to those living in KC), there IS no "Entertainment Business" in Kansas City.

Why the hell to do you think everyone that's anyone in this business lives or owns property in Los Angeles?

Really? You couldn't find anything on the internet for Dane McCloud? I'm shocked.

A bit touchy, are we? I assume that not only did you work in West Hollywood, you were a resident as well?

NTTATWWT.

Sure it is. She's just too good for the entertainment business. And Click Models, whew! I'm sure she chose Click over Ford, It, Endeavor, CAA & William Morris, right?

What? First off, it's "Ads", not "Adds". Secondly, ANYONE can be an extra. There are signs on every street lamp, in every coffee shop, everywhere. It generally pays $75 a day. You don't need an agent to be an extra. As a matter of fact (for those who aren't aware), Extras aren't members of SAG. That's why they're paid so cheaply.

I'm not an expert on advertising (we have an expert on the 'Planet, if he so chooses to chime in) but if she was chosen for ad campaigns (especially National campaigns) she would have made some major dough. Major dough. I had a co-worker that did an IBM commercial and made $20k in a three day shoot. I seriously doubt she made that type of money or that she would just "walk away" from that income.

And to set the record "straight", Holly Starr appeared in exactly two films (both directed by the same man). What were those films, you ask?

"Prehistoric Bimbos in Armageddon City" and "Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death". I'm sure both on the level of Micheal Bay's new film.

What's this "lifestyle" you speak of? Being poor? Not being able to afford to eat out or party? Living in a hell-hole? Riding public transportation? I've done all of those things (which has been well-documented). Or are you referring to something else? Please, let us know.

Moral compass. See the movie titles above as to why that's complete bullshit.

Wait, just a second. Are you telling me that she was called, "out of the blue", to be cast on Sunset Beach? She didn't have to meet with the casting agent, read for the Producers, meet with peeps at Spelling or Paramount?

Excuse me? I'm sorry, I call complete and utter bullshit.

Good for her. It was clearly the best and obvious choice.

Are you telling us that first off, she would have had "fame and fortune" if she had stayed? Seriously? What do you do now in SF? Park cars?

Secondly, what "Belief"? Are you telling me that everyone who has any success in the Entertainment Business is twisted and evil? Immoral? WTF?

Again, please explain. If anything, you sound rather bitter yourself.

I take no personal satisfaction with calling it like I see it. I've been here for 17 years, Buddy and I've seen just about everything. Commenting on the Holly Starr bio is no different than questioning Herm Edwards on his ridiculous comments. This is an internet forum, Bucko and we're all entitled to our opinions.

If she's the "real deal", why isn't she in Los Angeles or New York? Why isn't she nationwide like Jillian Barberie (or whatever her name is this week)? Why isn't she on the Today Show or GMA?

Again, please explain.

Personally, I could care less about you or Holly Starr. I just don't like disingenuous bullshit from people that supposedly have a better "moral compass" than those of us who actually live and work in Hollywood.

Those films are not on the same level as Transformer's 2. Those films are better than Tranformers 2.
