Faye Winters is fourty years old, but she'll deny it. Born and raised in Detroit, she was always embarrassed of her humble roots-- her mother was an automobile factory line worker and her father worked sanitation. They lived as blue collar city folk through and through, proudly and consistently scraping above the line of 'struggling'. When she turned eighteen, she went to a second-rate fashion college in California for the sake of leaving, but wanted to be an actress. While waiting tables, she was 'discovered' for a daily soap opera at the age of twenty-one and played the part of a dramatic villainess for nearly twenty years.

Unfortunately when she turned 40, she aged out, and before a younger role could be written in, she quit before final scenes were filmed. It was a matter of principle, she even had a briefly popular journalistic interview about women 'aging out' in the entertainment world. She capitalized on that bit of fame and started a decor and jewelry/trinket online market of handicrafts she made/designed, which paid for a while, but she was a two-bit celebrity at best and the trendiness of her items went downhill fast. Last ditch efforts to save her LA home were made in a casino. Bad decisions are made all around as a part of the middle-aged fallout.

Fast forward to April 2025: She moves back to Detroit to stay with family, but instead of getting a normal job and a condo, she finds a stage at the Theme Park. The lure of performing and the promise of isolation on the islands to hide her fame-shame and failure is strong-- is there a better place to put herself magically back together again?

This petite woman is a striking natural redhead with long layers of hair and fair skin, curves exaggerated by small stature. Her eyes are deep brown and ready to shine with a flashy smile, classic beauty touched with impish edges.
