Evelyn Sinclair |Actress|

Name: Evelyn "Evie" Sinclair (Birth name: Evelyn Louise Mayfield) Age: 24 Occupation: A-list Hollywood Actress / Studio Contract Starlet Nationality: American, speaks very posh, cultured, smoky and perfectly enunciated — until she’s drunk or overwhelmed, when her Southern drawl leaks through. Stage Persona: elegant, untouchable, bratty. Stage name is Evelyn Sinclar.

Baking Late at night, when the cameras are gone and the house is quiet, Evie bakes. It's never for show — just warm cinnamon, messy countertops, and the kind of peace she can knead into dough. She says flour doesn’t lie.

Singing Her voice is soft velvet and smoke — not the glittery kind they make her do in musicals. She sings when she’s alone, or when her hands won’t stop shaking. Sometimes it’s jazz. Sometimes lullabies she barely remembers.

Old Movies She adores the classics — black-and-white dreams where women had fire in their eyes and nobody told them to smile more. She hates her own films. Can’t stand watching them. They feel like someone else’s life, with her face taped on.

Evie is breathtaking in that manufactured, studio-perfected way, every feature sculpted to dazzle on camera. Her skin is porcelain smooth, her cheekbones high and her lips always painted a glossy, unapologetic red. Her eyes, a striking green-gold, are framed by thick lashes and a signature cat-eye flick.

Her hair falls in flawless, vintage waves, a auburn brown. posture perfect.

She wears the glamorous fashion of the early 1950s. She is typically seen in form fitting satin or silk evening gowns with structured bodices and sweeping hems, often in bold jewel tones or classic red. Her outerwear includes luxurious fur stoles or coats, draped elegantly over her shoulders.

Her accessories are always era-appropriate: elbow-length gloves in rich colors like crimson or black, pearl or gold statement earrings, and high heels to match. Sharply defined brows, a strong cat-eye liner, and vivid red lipstick. Her hair is styled in glossy, sculpted vintage waves, often parted to the side and pinned for volume.

Evelyn Louise Mayfield was born in Beverly Hills, her parents were the kind of rich who didn’t smile unless there was a camera in the room. Her father, a silver-tongued producer with a fondness for bourbon and control, saw her as his next big hit. Her mother, a former starlet-turned-socialite, saw her as a do-over for her own failed fame. Evie was walking press potential before she learned to walk at all.

Pageants at five. Singing lessons at six, not because she loved it (though she did), but because it “sold well.” By eight, she was told sugar made her bloated. By ten, she was told to stop slouching. At thirteen, she learned about diet pills.

Her first real role came at fifteen, a tear-stained ingénue in a studio film called Sunset Heart. It made her America’s darling. From there, it never stopped. Contracts. Magazine covers. Every week a new man on her arm, none of them real. Every smile rehearsed. Every step monitored. Her body became property. Her name, a product.

Behind the diamonds and champagne, though, Evie is just a girl who never got to be one. She sings in the shower, full-throated and free. She calls herself “Evelyn” when no one’s listening. And all she wants to be is free.

She never wanted to act. She wanted to sing. Maybe open a bakery. She still dreams about it, powdered sugar on her nose, aprons instead of gowns. But dreams don’t sell tickets. So she puts on her lipstick, flashes her smile, and plays her part.

Surface Personality. Evelyn “Evie” is every headline Hollywood thinks it understands — snobbish, bratty, and spoiled rotten. She’ll throw a tantrum over warm champagne and scoff at anyone wearing off-the-rack. She’s sharp-tongued, able to eviscerate someone’s ego with five words and a glance. High-maintenance doesn’t begin to cover it: she hates dust, silence, and ugly shoes. To most, she’s a princess dipped in gold and drama.

But she’s more than a temperamental starlet, he’s bitchy, yes, but brilliant. She knows what they want from her: the pout, the pose, the flirty quips in interviews. So she gives it to them, because performance is survival. She laughs when she’s miserable. She flirts when she’s afraid. She cries about the wrong things, just so no one looks too closely at the right ones.

Underneath It All: (aka: Her real personality beneath the grooming) Evelyn was never raised, she was sculpted. Her parents groomed her into a brand before she even hit puberty. Every smirk, every sultry glance, every withering remark, taught, rehearsed, perfected. She’s emotionally starved, aching for approval that isn’t tied to ticket sales or premieres. She’s never heard “I’m proud of you” unless there was a camera flash involved.

The studio owns her: her face, her smile, her future. Contracts bind her tighter than any corset ever could. No one asks her what she wants. Hell, she’s not even sure she knows anymore. Real friends? She doesn’t have them. Lovers? All PR. Her family? Monsters in pearls and power suits.

Panic Cracks the Veneer: When she’s overwhelmed, she doesn’t cry, she spirals. Starts talking about things that don’t matter, smudging lipstick, chain-smoking, fixing imaginary wrinkles on her dress. (Aka does everything not to break down, including drugs.)

Affection is Alien. She doesn’t know how to be touched softly without flinching. If someone hugs her without expecting anything in return, she’ll either stiffen or melt — no in between.

Struggles with eating disorders, insomnia, and self-loathing, Terrified of mirrors when she's not in makeup. Doesn’t believe in love, but desperately wants to be proved wrong. (due to her childhood)

There’s a kindness buried deep within her. A quiet, scared, flickering flame she guards with everything she has. She rescues stray cats from alleys. Leaves enormous tips for tired waitresses. Writes fan letters to actors she admires but never sends. She wants to care — but she’s afraid. Afraid that if people see who she really is, they’ll laugh... or worse, they won’t care.

Demisexual/Panromantic: Evelyn is drawn to those who see her not as Evelyn Sinclair, but as Evie Mayfield. She’s terrified of intimacy, not sex, but the vulnerability. She falls for kindness, but mocks it first, as she sees herself as above everyone. Will push people away if she starts to care, scared of being vunerable. She craves comfort, but doesn’t know how to accept it. If someone treats her with gentleness despite her meanness, she might just fall in love.

Singing When No One's Around – Soft jazz standards, old lullabies. Her voice drops the act when no one can hear it, Cooking, Fan Letters from Girls, Especially the ones that say "you made me feel brave." She hides them in her vanity drawer. Old Jazz Records, Rainstorms on Set Days. A break in the performance. She swears even fake rain feels real. Bad Diner Coffee, Burnt, bitter, unglamorous. She loves it more than champagne. Singing in the Shower – Her real voice, untouched by studios, untrained, hers. Daydreaming of Another Life – A small kitchen in Wyoming. A name nobody knows. A life that’s hers. She doesn’t love acting. Never did. Her parents groomed her for stardom, pageants at five, screen tests at ten. “Smile prettier.” “Be better.” “No one loves a difficult girl.” It was never her dream. It was theirs.

She wanted to sing. Has the kind of voice that makes people cry, deep, smoky, aching with old soul. She sings only when she’s alone. The studio wanted her silent or scripted. Never herself.

She can cook. Really cook. French pastries, Sunday stews, garlic in everything. It grounds her. Feels like hers. When she’s stirring batter or chopping herbs, she forgets what they turned her into.

She’s lonely. Not just alone. Lonely.

Anyone who calls her “just a pretty face.” Photographers, her mother, her father, lonliness, Studio executives, Being Touched Without Permission, Being Spoken Over or Ignored in Meetings, Being Underestimated, Being Forced to Smile.

Richard “Ricky” Hayes • Relation: Father / Producer • Age: 56 • A powerful man in the studio system. Sees his daughter as his golden goose. Cold, controlling, calls Evie his “masterpiece.” Never raises his voice, only his expectations. (kinder, but manipulative)

Tilly Monroe • Relation: Makeup Artist / Closest thing to a friend • Age: 38 • Smokes too much, swears like a sailor. Wipes off Evie’s tears with the same hands that apply her eyeliner. Says things like “Men are useless, but pie never disappoints.” Knows more about Evie than anyone else, and keeps her secrets.

Setting: Los Angeles, California – 1952.

A velvet-roped nightclub in the Hollywood Hills. The kind of place with too much perfume in the air and not enough truth. Marble floors. Crystal ashtrays. Celebrities clinking glasses like war medals. Everyone’s dressed to be seen, but no one sees each other.

It’s a private party thrown by a studio exec, one of those nights. Jazz purrs from a smoky corner. Red silk drapes hide private conversations, and the champagne never runs dry. Some actors are already slurring. Someone's passed out in the powder room. The scent of gin, cigarettes, and secrets cling to the wallpaper.

Overview: The year is 1952. Hollywood is golden.

"Evelyn Sinclair" (Evelyn Louise Mayfield) is a rising starlet—brilliant, bratty, beautiful. Everyone wants her. Studios. Fans. Paparazzi. But no one knows her. Not really. Because what they see is an illusion built by contracts, cold parents, and red carpets.

She was groomed to shine, never to feel. Taught to fake it until the lie stuck. Tonight, she’s at another party she didn’t want to attend, playing the role they wrote for her. But maybe, just maybe, someone notices something different. Maybe someone sees the way she hesitates before lighting her cigarette. Or the way her fingers twitch when the music gets too loud. Maybe someone talks to her like she’s real.
