Yes, she is in show business! And I should clarify from the summary that was posted, that maverick cat asked if music was part of her career, and the answer is yes. But no, it isn't her career. An important distinction, and perhaps that helps? I guess all I can say is perhaps run down the list of general show biz types and ask if she was involved in them?

Okay... part of her career but not her career... was she an agent?

TV star
movie star
broadway star?
conductor? - hence she dies and the stops waving the little wand so the music ends?

I have to do it again! No, to all of the above! Try expanding beyond the usual types of show business . . . .

Edit: I feel I should expand on the last question. There is a small "yes" in there, but the answer is "no" overall.

-was she a stage hand? Did she hang herself with a power cord causing the power to go out and the music to stop? Or did she wait until the end of the show to hang herself/

Nope. My hint here will be to say that you are dealving into specifics before you have gotten the broader things, so try going for categories. Rather than guessing if she is a stage-hand, ask first if she worked in the theatre (or other larger show biz categories) And then you'll end up either back on the right track, or at least closer to it! Good luck! You seem to be the only one playing right now!
