The other day,
I mentioned that I liked Rome but who is she?
As the heroine of the book, I had to make her pretty and smart but she is not my type. She is Rei's type, of course. You can see that if you read the first Intermezzo in
Rome's Evolution and got the connection between Sally Reynolds and Rome.
I cannot say I had a clear vision of what she even looked like until I saw an episode of Smallville in 2002. The actress playing Lex Luthor's girlfriend Victoria Hardwick, is named
Kelly Brook and when I saw her, I said that is Rome. Here is her picture:
Unfortunately, in real life, Kelly is too tall (5' 8" although some have her at 5' 6") to play the part but her face helped me describe Rome's face so thank you Kelly.
After that, I started picking out actors and actresses who represented each of the parts (Kevin Costner for Fridone?) and used that as a crutch to help me with physical descriptions. My selections will help when it comes time to cast the movies! ;)
