She presented her idea to writers and producers at Greenestreet, who immediately loved her vision of a dead rock star’s daughter fallen from grace after her fortune was stolen from her.

Ray’s life has been touched by tragedy as well: Her father has been in a coma for as long as she can remember, and her mother Roma , a high level music executive, hardly gives her the time of day.

Molly has chosen to never grow up, postponing adulthood for as long as possible, whereas Ray grew up too fast.
