Eclipse

“Darling, so good of you to call!” The agent hated these sorts of calls.

“Yes I’ve seen her reviews. Yes they were pretty good. Not like yours at that age though.

Darling, you’re just standing back a little, passing on the baton for a while, letting them have their chance. Your public still loves you. And if anything, they see you as more gracious than ever. There’s no way you’ve been eclipsed.

Talk to you again soon darling. Ciao!”
