Sanding is a must, kitchen cabinets tend to get a thin coating of film on them from cooking.

Once we had a film crew come by for a major network to film on an aircraft we sold that was being delivered to South America.

I could film a video of me flushing it, and you can hear it start knocking as soon as I close the valve and turn the flame back up.

So even at the top of her game (theatre, not film/tv), she will likely always be low paid.
