Cecilia Brady

Cecilia Brady is the daughter of a Hollywood producer, an insider in Hollywood, but distant enough that she can see the games those in power play. Cecilia is in love with Monroe Stahr and hopeful that he will eventually fall in love with her. Through the course of the novel, Cecilia throws herself at Stahr repeatedly hoping he will get the message and see her as something more than the daughter of his business partner. However, Stahr never does.

When Mr. Brady decides he needs to get rid of Stahr through any means necessary, it is his daughter Cecilia who gives him the ammunition he needs to blackmail Stahr. Cecilia tells her father that Stahr is in love with a married woman while he is dating Cecilia herself. Stahr finds this woman and her husband and then threatens to give the husband leverage to sue Stahr.
