===Jean Holly===

'''Played by:''' Leith Maclaine

'''Country of Origin:''' United States of America

'''Archetype:''' Steamer Heiress / Party Face

'''Gender:''' Female


'''Background'''

Jean was born to Fred and Meredith Holly in (22 years before current date) in Long Beach, California. Fred was a merchant marine officer while Meredith stayed home and raised Jean. Meredith passed away four years ago at about the same time Jean started her career as an actress with William Brothers Films. Appearing in several B level films, her big break was in the film Tasmania Sea (a romantic comedy) co-starring Frank Starr, where she played an Heiress traveling the seas falling for a dashing sea captain and helping him save the ship in an emergency. The fact that she was the daughter of a merchant marine Captain help with the authenticity of the role. Filmed on sight in New Zealand, she made various contacts (including, or especially Kupe - possible helping the studio with arranging scenic views and on site camera shots, I can see Kupe and Frank Starr not getting along well which may be important for the bodyguard role).

After the release of Tasmania Sea, Jean has a couple of other films with Frank Starr until.......Frank's wife was found dead at his home. Rumors of a torrid love affair between Jean and Frank started at the news and Jean was accused of the murder. The studio shuts down work for Jean and legal bills and contract penalties eat up almost all of her wealth. Further rumors of Frank having affairs are carefully hushed up and charges are dropped under pressure from William Brothers. Frank believes that Jean has evidence of his other affairs while married and in fact may have evidence that Frank killed his wife. Jean received various not so subtle threats that her life may be in danger and no one at Williams Brothers is currently returning her calls. Frank has a couple of new leading ladies and is back to making pictures. (Notice: I am not confirming if there was actually an affair between Frank and Jean, just that he suspects that Jean has evidence of other affairs)

Jean, running out of money and options then gets news that her father recently purchased the Hauraki with his life savings and a lot of money borrowed from the bank, has another very direct threat against her life and decides to get out of town and take over her limited inheritance as a way to hide from Frank Starr until things calm down. She messages Kupe, who was one person she could trust to stand up to Frank, especially after the issues he had with Frank during the filming of Tasmania Sea, and then lands on the Hauraki, with the crew his father had. First Officer has been promoted to Captain by the bank and the bank is being very clear that the crew isn't to change because that may risk profitability. The bank will be providing oversight for awhile.
