Dave Reyes
Cassandra and Dave are grade school friends and they grew up together in Vermont Square in South L.A. Even after Cassandra became a famous actress and Dave a detective, they stayed friends.

Samantha Massey
Sam stays at Cassandra's place during the events of the book and is a big fan of her work, not just as an actress but also as a philanthropist. Cassandra comes to like and respect her and they become friends.

Hayley Rose
While her opinion of Hayley Rose isn't initially negative, Cassandra is well aware that Hayley's talent at singing doesn't translate all that well to acting. At the LA.R.A. gala, she badmouths Hayley by describing her as "a nightmare on set" and suggesting that Hayley's only contribution to the film is to attract teenage viewers.

Despite her low opinion of Hayley's acting abilties and personality, Cassandra remains classy and professional while working directly with Hayley. Unaware of Hayley's complicity in her father crimes, Cassandra even tries to protect her by holding her back and preventing her from trying to reason with him during his rampage at the studio.

Ryan Summers
It's not clear whether Cassandra is actually friends with Ryan Summers, but she gets on with him well enough both on and off the set, likely due to their shared fondness for Dave and tendency to work together as co-stars.

James Ashton
Cassandra seemed to enjoy filming the adaptation of James's play and is happy to meet Your Character. She does not seem to have particularly strong feelings about all the changes being made to James' work, though she admits that there are rather a lot.

Victoria Fontaine
She makes a cameo appearance in Red Carpet Diaries, Book 1. She starred alongside with Victoria in The Warmest Winter, where the two played lovers.
