Debonair Marketing
To Whom It May Concern:
My friend suggested I should look online regarding the "Debonair
Management" agency. I am glad I did!
I read what a parent wrote regarding this agency. I
too was approached by a talent scout. My fiancé and
I, along with my nine-year-old daughter, were approached
by a talent scout 01/11/03 in Robinsons May at Del Amo
Mall.
The lady (name withheld) asked me how old my daughter
was and said that she had the look she was searching
for.
She told me that she produced "Sabrina the Teenage
Witch," and she wanted my daughter to come in to
do an audition at 2 p.m. on Sunday for a McDonald's commercial.
She told my daughter to wear blue to bring out her eyes,
told her she was pretty, and to bring a photo.
She handed me a card with her name, etc., and told me
that if my daughter gets the part she would get $48,000.
After my fiancé and I heard this we were concerned
and very worried, so I called my friend about it. She
told my daughter that she could use that money for CD's
or clothes and toys.
My daughter was so excited that she might have a chance
to be in a commercial!
I sat my daughter down to explain that things aren't
that easy.
Well, the letter I read was what I needed to know.
If I took my daughter to Beverly Hills for the commercial
audition and then found out there wasn't one at all,
but people to take money to market you, my daughter would
have been devastated, and it would have wasted our time.
After I read the letter I had to tell my daughter that
it wasn't a good idea to go.
She promptly cried knowing the harsh reality that she
was misled and lied to.
The lady flat out lied to my daughter which wasn't even
necessary.
I wish I could have protected my daughter, but I was
led to believe that maybe this might be the real thing.
Thanks to the lady that wrote the letter. She saved
my daughter from being hurt more and me losing money.

Are you sure it's the same company? The first letter
was about Debonair Marketing. Your letter was about "Debonair
Management."
There is only a BBB listing for Debonair Marketing,
although it sounds as if they claim to offer management
services, and they are based in Beverly Hills.
You said the lady told you she produced "Sabrina
the Teenage Witch."
TV Guide said the producers of "Sabrina the Teenage
Witch" were Richard Davis and Alana H. Lambros:

After reading the response, I realized I put the wrong
name. The name on the card is Debonair Marketing in Beverly
Hills.
I am very aware now that the person who approached us
was not a producer for the Sabrina The Teenage Witch
sitcom.

The reference given was for the movie, since you had
not specified it was the sitcom, but, in any case, how
credible is it that someone with the stature of sitcom
producer is wandering around a mall, scouting?
