Blind Vice: Did Sally Make Her Choice to Keep Hollywood Happy?

Mon., Jun. 13, 2011 6:31 AM PDT by Ted Casablanca

It was upsetting enough in itself, the surprising break-up of Sally Pearlsmyth and Percy DuBois. The beautiful young couple was so in love! So tantalizing in their passionate and real-life love story!

But, that was before things went awry and Sally found she was pregnant...

And after consulting with her myriad advisors decided she would end the pregnancy. This we revealed last time we told you about Sally's unfortunate bust-up, and one reason why Percy was so very upset afterwards—because he wanted her to keep the kid.

But this we have just discovered:

During all those meetings Sally had with her advisors, agents and employers (she told them all about the pregnancy, asking everybody what she should do), Sally actually talked to her bosses about having a pregnancy theme written into her acting project at the time.

The producers were not against considering the concept, but, they ultimately rejected it—as they didn't really care for that storyline.

And then Sally decided to end her pregnancy.

Now, we're all about women's rights at A.T. Just not sure everybody in Hollywood agrees with us? I don't know, you get time off to have a kid if you work at the post office, shouldn't you get that, also, if you work at the studio? Without having to worry about losing your job?
