PLO'Hara

*Charismatic - he knows how to attract people. He has that type of theatrical confidence and mystery that makes people want to be around him.

• Talented - you can see that he is a really good actor and a man of art. He is not an empty poser, he has talent.
  *Emotionally exhausted - it seems as if he has long been tired of himself, people, and life in general.
• Self-destructive - alcohol, chaotic relationships, strange behavior... He seems to be constantly running away from his own problems.
  *Selfish - often thinks more about his own desires and status than how his actions affect others.
• Tender in rare moments - sometimes he flashes warmth or care, and this is what makes the character dangerous to those around him. Because people start to see him as a "good person", even if most of the time he hurts others.
  Sad — not hysterically, but quietly. There is a sense of a person who could have been happier once, but was lost long ago.

His appearance can be described as follows:

*Tall and thin - he has an elongated figure, which makes him seem even more "theatrical" and a little ghostly.

• Dark hair - slightly unkempt, sometimes it looks like he spent a sleepless night or constantly smokes and lives in chaos.
  His pale face looks exhausted:
  A deep gaze, with brown eyes. O'Hara's gaze is often sad, tired, or appraising.
  *A low voice is one of his most noticeable features. He speaks calmly, slowly, as if he is always in control.
• Delicate facial features - a sharp nose, expressive cheekbones, a slightly stern expression.
  His clothes are mostly classic: shirts, jackets, dark suits. But everything looks a little rumpled, as if he hasn't taken much care of himself for a long time.

It seems that his life is:

*hotels,

• theaters,
  *tours,
• random rooms,
  *alcohol,
• and constant movement without a real "home".

That is, O'Hara does not look like a person who has a warm, cozy home or a stable life. On the contrary, he seems like a lonely man who has not truly "settled" anywhere. This also emphasizes his character: talented, but internally lost.
a small room in an old hotel near the theater or a rented apartment in an old building. Inside, it's semi-dark even during the day: heavy curtains let in little light, and the air is saturated with the smell of cigarettes, dust, and alcohol.
also the smell of dampness.
The bed is untidy, as if he sleeps in bits and pieces and keeps falling asleep in his clothes. The furniture was expensive only "once" - now everything is a bit worn and tired, like O'Hara himself.

Meredith Potter
The same man with the monocle. A theater director/actor with the mannerisms of a "great artist."

*Very narcissistic.

• Likes to look intelligent and sophisticated.
  *Constantly talks as if he is giving a lecture on art.
• He may be polite, but there is an air of superiority about him.
  *Loves the attention and admiration of younger people.
• Often seems "grand" until you look closer.
  He has a younger sister.

Young actresses
Many try to attract the attention of directors or older actors, because for them, theater is a chance for a “big life.” Because of this, there is a lot of jealousy and drama in the team.

Older actors
Some people respect O'Hara because of his talent, while others are irritated because he is a difficult person and can disrupt rehearsals with his mood or alcohol.

And in general, the theater in the film doesn't look like a fairy tale, but like:

*noisy backstage chaos,

• makeup,
  *cigarette smoke,
• other people's ambitions,
  *insults,
• and people who cling to the stage because they don't know who to be outside of it.

Yes:

*Dreamy - she comes to the theater with the feeling that she is entering something magical and grand.

• Naive - often sees in people what is not really there. Especially in older men with charisma and status.
  *Emotional - experiences everything very strongly: admiration, resentment, jealousy, shame.
• Wants to be an "adult" - it is important to her to be taken seriously, not as a child.
  *Vulnerable to attention - when someone older and "special" pays attention to her, she gets attached easily.
• Kind, but stubborn - even when she sees red flags, she still tries to hold on to her illusions.
  Lonely inside — she feels like she's looking for a place where she'll finally be noticed and understood.
