BIOGRAPHY

CHILDHOOD:

Marilyn McFadden was born to Daniel and Elva McFadden on August 2nd, 1955. Named after one of Hollywood’s starlets, it seemed like her parents knew what kind of person she would become later in life. Marilyn’s father, Daniel, was a hot shot lawyer in Los Angeles and would represent many celebrities whether they needed to get off a charge or was getting their third divorce, Daniel McFadden was there. 

Marilyn’s childhood was spent with her being fed from a silver spoon. With her dad’s career, her mom being a housewife, and having no other siblings, Marilyn never went without attention and praise. It was something that she would grow to desire in later years. She also never wanted for nothing. The newest Barbie? It was hers. The newest threads so she could be the coolest kid on the playground? It was hers.

TEENAGEHOOD:

As Marilyn got older, she began to realize that she could get what she wanted from others and not just her parents. Popularity was her newest fascination and it was easy to obtain. It was always rich, pretty, mean kids who were homecoming royalty and well, she ticked off all those marks! High school was where Marilyn truly thrived. It was one of the few places where a hierarchy still existed and she would be damned if she wasn’t at the top. Who cared for classes when she could walk out of graduation with everyone fearing her?

ADULTHOOD:

Homecoming queen. Most popular. Marilyn had it all when she graduated high school and she had expected adulthood to be a harsh reality of what life had to offer. She didn’t think popularity mattered outside of high school, but boy was she wrong. When she entered her freshman year of college, she realized it was just another hierarchy, albeit a little bit differently. There were sororities, which weren’t really her thing. Sisterhood? Yuck. She wasn’t about to play pretend for four years unless it meant president and considering her ability to piss people off... that didn’t seem likely.

Luckily, Marilyn had something else in her repertoire. Her dad had represented the Bee Gees at one point and that counted for something. Not to mention a whole ‘nother list of dudes with crazy hair and cocaine addictions. It’s not like Marilyn’s close with any of them, but she’s been to one or two parties before, had dinner with some... there was even that one rocker she had made out with after one too many tequila sunrises! Now that could one up the girls at the University of Southern California. And it did.

Now a rising senior, Marilyn’s established herself perfectly. She’s editor-in-chief for the school paper, the hottest lifeguard at Crescent Paradise, and has daddy’s weekly allowance. Nothing can stop her and she won’t let anything or anyone stop her from proving that she’s the best of the best. Or at least, the best at throwing insults and having impeccable hair.

To put it simply, Marilyn is not a nice girl! She knows she’s hot, she’s spoiled, and there’s almost nothing anyone can do or say that will make her think that she isn’t hot shit.

- BIOGRAPHY ! 

- YOU WERE ALWAYS THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY ! a child born from the hardship of world war II, you grew up in the idealistic white picket fence household of the 50′s suburbia. you looked up to your father, though you couldn’t shake the feeling that you were different. you cried a lot - felt emotions the rest of your family couldn’t bear to comprehend. you found boys and girls equally intriguing. in short - you were a BURDEN. 

you’ve always fancied yourself a hero. you dropped out of school at 16, forged some papers and ran into the army, where they welcomed you with open arms. with a looming draft, willing young soldiers were more precious than gold. you liked the feeling, of being a part of something on american soil. of being WANTED. they filled your ears with stories of heroism, of fighting off the germans, of ensured GLORY. 

until you stepped foot in vietnam. the stories were replaced with harsh reality. the things you saw there made you a man. they made you a man who cursed the governments who put you in this situation. you watched your peers become monsters, and you simply couldn’t handle it any longer. not so thankfully, you got shot in the arm. your right arm. the arm that made you so valuable. the field doctors weren’t able to fix you up to uncle sam’s standard, so they shipped you back to america with practically no money to your name and an honorable discharge - not that anyone cared. 

this is where your life truly began. nightmares of vietnam endured every night, but during the days and evenings, you filled yourself with enthusiasm, protesting and volunteering as much as you could.

full biography

burton was born to a single mother who had moved to los angeles from georgia in pursuit of stardom. his biological father was this man who pretended to be an agent only to hook up with aspiring actresses and of course, sheltered ethel hayes fell right into his trap thinking he was going to make her a star and believing he was madly in love with her. as soon as ethel announced her pregnancy he was out of the picture.

as soon as he was born, she realized that she had to put her dreams on hold and grow up faster than she would have imagined. yet, she never complained of the cards she'd been dealt. everything happens for a reason. that was her way of seeing things. ethel worked two jobs and also managed to get her high school diploma, all while raising a child.

they didn’t have much but his mother made sure to always make time for her son and so she used to take him to the movies every weekend where they would spend hours. that’s how his love for cinema/pop culture was born. 

eventually his mom got a better job as a secretary and when he was eleven years old, his mother married to a successful dentist and war veteran. his little sister arrived when he was fifteen and pretty much his life changed for the better —even if he didn’t really have any complains about his previous life. 

academically he did pretty good, but he excelled at sports and played for the varsity baseball team. he also starred in most of the school’s plays and overall was considered pretty popular among the other students. he dated the same girl (cherry bomb) throughout high school until she left him on prom night which crushed him.

he was accepted into ucla where he majored in drama. his first year coincided with the on-campus protests after nixon’s announcement to invade cambodia. burton joined the protests, was arrested a couple of times and he became part of many student organizations. his professors either loved his guts or hated them, either way, they all could agree he had potential. for what? that was to be seen.

except that once graduation happened he found himself without a plan, just watching everyone transitioning smoothly into adulthood.

perhaps in a state of panic, he made the rash decision to move to new york where he lived in a small apartment with three other starving artists, one of which helped him get an agent. 

he booked a lot of commercials during the first months, some print ads but they all seemed to lack substance to him and they were nowhere near as interesting as the parties that happened until dawn, or the substances that helped him to forget that he was one of those who had peaked too soon in life.

his lifestyle stopped him from booking roles as he often missed auditions but his agent didn’t give up on him, convinced that he could make it if he only put in the effort. and so, it finally paid off. he booked the leading role in a play on broadway and it was supposed to be his breakthrough. he did everything right until the opening night. his nerves got the best of him and one drink turned into who knows how many. he woke up the next morning with no recollection of what had happened and an article on the newspaper retelling his drunk performance and the whole mess he caused. his agent dropped him and it was pretty clear that that was the end for him in new york.

he came back to los angeles about a month or so ago, got a job as a bartender, a new agent and he’s trying to clean his reputation as well as staying out of trouble and acting more like an adult than a teenage broncin' buck.

III. PERSONALITY

burton is fully immersed in the present moment, savouring all that life has to offer. he is frequently preoccupied with quick gratification that he fails to plan ahead which can be very frustrating to people because it seems that he doesn’t take anything seriously which he does but only when it’s time to. in a way, he relies a lot in luck and he takes life as it is without complains. he is an extremely social person and gets most of his energy from being around people he cherishes, he loves talking about everything and nothing but he’s especially passionate about films, music and books. burton loves the spotlight, and he’s the kind of guy that would try to bring the party back to life when it seems to be dying. he’s normally a very chill person and rarely gets upset but he’s extremely sensitive and when he believes someone is questioning or criticizing him, he has a hard time viewing such criticism as constructive. often he reacts to this with rage and bitterness. aside from that, he’s pretty conflict averse and he will try everything to avoid uncomfortable situations. burton as well is very nostalgic. if he’s not living in the present he’s reminiscing of the past and the better days, this mostly applies to pop culture but also sometimes to personal experiences. however, he simply denies the existence of the future and refuses to think about it even if deep down he knows he should. 

IV. HEADCANONS

he was named after his mom’s favorite actors, burt lancaster and gregory peck.

speaks broken italian and this is because while his mother was at work he was babysat by their italian neighbor whom he used to call nonna. 

for his seventh birthday, his mother gave him a guitar as he used to be obsessed with elvis. 

his step-father got him a 1964 turquoise chevy truck (which he still drives) for his 16th birthday which he paid him back in a year.

first concert was the 1966 american tour of the rolling stones. the last concert he went was fleetwood mac’s rumours tour in philadelphia before he moved back to los angeles.

as a teen some of the posters that were around his bedroom were: a barbarella one, jane fonda, james dean, one of the film le mans. as you can see growing up his celebrity crush was jane fonda but currently it’s probably farrah fawcett which is not original at all as everyone does. 

only attended ucla because he read that james dean did as well.

—  A LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH

(tw: parental death, implied violence, transphobia, and homophobia)

jess hinkley was born to the owners of the best damn barbecue place in bell county on a sunny april fool’s day in belton, texas. they grew up inside that restaurant, lovingly named robin’s after her effervescent mother. and when they lost their mom, they helped their old man and older brother raise their little sister inside its walls. they were the type to mow their elderly neighbor’s lawn and refuse payment every time; to help the single moms carry in their groceries as they wrangled their little ones; to hold the door open for a whole line of folks leaving the sunday sermon.

despite the responsibility of looking after their little family and the innate kindness that came so naturally, jess grew up wild, careless, and positively carefree. if it sounded dreamy and fun, jess was in. they wore bright red cowboy boots, still a staple of their closet, and kissed girls behind the all-night diner. everything was bright and full of possibility, even when they ended up smiling through a split lip and black eye after one of the assholes in town for the rodeo caught them behind the diner and started somethin’.

jess ran fast and hard all through school; first on their track & field team, then from the various authorities as their restless impulsivity ran wild. they spent every weekend dancing at the local dive bars with the latest catch their town managed to reel in, fell in love hard, and got their heart broken every week, without fail. even though they helped out at their pop’s place until the day they left texas, there was a laundry list of other jobs they’d held for a little while that was a mile long. 

you never knew where to find jess, but they’d show up when they were needed, anyway. they were an open book, as easily read as someone could be, which made it all the more shocking when they up and left. one minute, they were slinging pizzas for the little italian place in town, and the next, they were packing their bags and letting their family down easy. what our open book hadn’t shared with everyone was how sheltered they felt, even considering their widely accepted status as the most flamboyant part of belton.
