did as he asked. I went to the drug store, bought some bleach, a box of hair dye called “champagne blond” and never looked back. The next day, with my new hair color and a newfound sense of confidence, I marched back into the Adored Network offices. Only this time the producer asked me to read for the lead. I left that day cast in the role of Noelle Claus. It was the last time I saw my real hair color. Or used my real name.
