Publisher's summary[]
"I am Olivia Corey, the eternal actress. I've lived my whole life in two dimensions. Perhaps I prefer it that way."
Olivia Corey has been offered the role of her life.
They’re making a movie called The Curse of Collinwood by Mr D Curtis. Apparently it’s based on a true story about an old house in Maine where all manner of terrible things happen.
Olivia is offered the role of ‘Amanda Harris’, a woman created from a painting, destined to fall in love with a cursed man, destined to roam the Earth to find him again.
How could she refuse?
After all, it's the part she was born to play...

Background information and notes[]
- Originally planned as a Christmas special for release in December 2013. [1]
- This story takes place after The Eternal Actress and leads into The Haunted Refrain.
- Considering the reference to Andy Warhol's "15 minutes of fame," "Paul is dead," and the fact that it must predate Quentin's return in TV episodes 902-905, the story appears to be set in no later than late 1969.
