And they're a *very* successful team on-screen. Her head's been full of Gary, with whom she ends up working. Roxanne doesn't have stardom yet, but she could have John if she wanted him, only she doesn't. He even gives Roxanne a starring role, but the movie's a dreary piece of crap. His father wants him to go to law school, but John just knows that if the movie he's making is good, his father will let him direct. Roxanne haunts the casting offices daily, but isn't getting a break until she meets John Randolph, the son of a movie studio owner who wants to be a director someday. On the trip, they fortuitously encounter Gary Marlowe, an up-and-coming young actor who immediately clashes with Roxanne. Roxanne is not so sure, but whether or not she wants to admit it, the bug has bitten her and she's eager to try to make a name for herself. Laureen is convinced that Roxanne can be a star, and is determined to see her make it. Roxanne Wilson and her perfectly horrible mother, Laureen, leave dustbowl Oklahoma in 1938 and use the last of their money to get to Hollywood. This is a sentimental favorite among Sunfires, and one of the first I replaced during my re-reading project. I looked forward with pleasure to receiving a new (well, new to *me*) copy of Roxanne, my old one having disappeared several moves ago. (See my review of Amanda for my general review of the series.)
