Pianist, then later producer and actress.

She used to give salon parties for her closest friends and would sing for them.

She was actually a kind and generous person and well loved by her friends.

Thus no one had the heart to crush her dreams by being brutally honest with her.

And she was wealthy so she could indulge herself in her passion. What she lacked in talent she made up for in enthusiasm.
