Help[Opinions] Re: What Would you Name Twin Girls / Twin Boys From The "Funky Clunky" Name List?
in reply to a message by Justina
Oh for sure! I never watched that one but I saw an analysis on it at some point. Some of my favorite YouTube videos to watch are film analysis ones. I love movies. I wanted to minor in film studies for my undergrad degree but my advisor told me not to because it doesn't have enough to do with my field lol. I regret listening to her, but I did take several film classes for various electives. I was thinking whatever happened to Baby Jane too but also Sunset Boulevard if you are familiar with that one. And maybe the actress has some flavors of Auntie Mame. I feel like the twins would be her adolescent or young adult children to represent the different views of Aging actresses in Hollywood. Maybe one of them wants her to retire and move away with them to another part of the country, and maybe one of the other twin represents conforming to the older role standards of things like motherly characters. Idk. What should we name our Starlet in this movie Justina?

I wrote out this whole thing, and then my computer glitched and it got deleted!
I've read a few of the books that the movie Auntie Mame is based on. I've never seen Sunset Blvd straight through. The first two actresses that came to mind to play the part of the aging starlet in a modern version of this movie plot were Demi Moore and Julianne Moore, but I'm not sure if they're too old at this point.
Regardless of the aging starlet's age, something inspired by Old Hollywood, but with a modern twist.
Then I was thinking of Kim Basinger when she played a Veronica Lake inspired character in L.A. Confidential.
So... how about Veronica Opal Hayes, with nickname Vera. "Vera, the Jewel of Hollywood" (with a nod to Rita Hayworth), or maybe just Veronica Haze - but maybe that's too close to Veronica Mars.
What would you name her?
