THR expose on "Cannes Yacht Girls"
Pretty young women from all over Europe come to Cannes with the hope of getting an offer to work in Los Angeles. Once they are brought to Los Angeles, they are given a small speaking role and are passed around by film industry executives for the remainder of their stay.
There's so much we as the public don't know about the film industry! So exciting.

Didn't we have a thread on this 5 years ago? Nice to see the article's been updated, too.
Cannes is a cesspool of drugs, money laundering & prostitution - part of the reason why Whalestein felt so at home there.

They know exactly what they're doing. They hope one of these hook ups will pay off.

Here's one article, also by THR - not sure this was the one we spoke about last time though.

[quote] THR has learned of at least one now-prominent actress who made her first connections on a Cannes yacht and quickly landed her debut role in a U.S.-shot movie.
Who this?

Another one from 2013, also by THR.
This could be the article that originated a thread on DL a few years back.

This is not exclusive to Cannes. This happens every day in Hollywood. Remember that Sony woman?

What Sony woman? Refresh our memories, please.

So this stuff actually does happen? I thought most of it was just peoples assumptions and made up gossip.

No such thing as “easy money”. If these people don’t like being actors (sporadic work and hustle is par for the course for 99.9% of them), they can get real jobs.

There's been numerous blind items over the years about CW actresses being yacht girls.

R18, who? And why the hell would you be a yacht girl to get a CW gig?

R18 lol basically everyone from Nina Dobrev to Melissa Benoist. There's also been a few about Kat Graham. And it's not to get a CW gig, it's to make more money.
