What happens when the most talked-about actress in Hollywood… doesn’t actually exist?
Meet Tilly Norwood — an AI-generated performer who’s redefining stardom. She doesn’t sleep, age, or demand a $10 million contract — but she can cry, deliver monologues, and carry an entire film. And in 2025, she did just that.
In this episode of Film & TV Career Survival, we break down:
How Tilly Norwood was created — and why studios are obsessed
What her debut means for working actors, screenwriters, and indie filmmakers
The economics of an AI star vs. traditional A-listers
Union backlash, legal minefields, and ethical dilemmas
What indie creators can learn from this AI evolution
The one question everyone’s asking: Can audiences connect with a character that isn’t human?
🎧 Whether you’re a filmmaker, actor, producer, or industry watcher — this episode unpacks one of the most important debates in modern cinema.
