On May 2, 1935, Rosanne Cartwright, an eleven-year-old child of the Great Depression, was signed onto one of America's most prestigious motion picture production studios, Bailey-Banks-and-Wilburforce (also known as BBW). Solely focused on the welfare of her parents and brother, Rosanne soon became the breadwinner of her family and the victim of eight long years of sexual abuse from her agent, Barney Wilburforce. Rosanne remained under the stern thump of her agent in the hope of a stable income and reassurance for bigger roles. In return, she endured emotional trauma, embedded anxiety, and a temporary out-of-control alcohol addiction. Unaware of Barney's actual intentions, Rosanne kept her head up and continued to smile at the cameras that captured her public and personal life. With her fame rising during the turn of the decade, she married closeted homosexual heartthrob Clyde Tish. On the set of their second film together, the couple formed a friendship with an extra named Wilma Lawse. As Rosanne's résumé began to lengthen and her family's happiness blooming, Barney always reassured his client that she was destined for bigger roles.
