The cancellation of CW series "The Beautiful Life" comes as more than a disappointment to many. Several of the stars are stranded in NYC with apartment leases and no work. Sara Paxton is one such star:
On how it went down:
I was sitting in the hair and makeup chair, and I'm getting my hair done just like a normal Friday--we were all excited for Friday. And all of a sudden, they got the call, and the producers had to make an announcement on set that we were done--that we were over! And I was sitting there in shock. I couldn't believe that in the middle of work, the rug was pulled out beneath our feet.
On the trials of New York City leases:
We thought we were going to be here until December. Literally we packed up our lives from Los Angeles to New York. I spent two months and thousands of dollars without a paycheck moving to NY. And now they just say, 'oh, peace, you're done?' We all signed 6 month leases, and now we all have to figure out how to get out of our leases, and I have to figure out how to get all my furniture back. I don't know what to do with this NY furniture. We're kind of stranded.
That's the harsh reality of the acting world. Peace, you're done about sums it up. The cool thing is all the producers still probably made a shitload of it and already have houses in LA and NY and bathe with money, so they're cool. Such is business.
