This was all right. Damon and Julia were married at a very young age. When Julia is old enough she leaves homes and becomes an actress. A very good one. At some function for the theater, she meets Damon for the first time. Because she knows his name, recognizes him as her husband. Since she goes by her stage name, Jessica, Damon does not know it's her. What gets me, she's pretending she's not married (not by sleeping with men) cause she hated she was married at a young age but she gets mad cause Damon claims to not be married. Whatever.
Damon wants Jessica. He wants to end his marriage to Julia so he can pursue her. It's his lucky day when he figures out Jessica is really Julia but he doesn't want Julia to be an actress. sigh.
Meh. It was all right.
