Hirschberg, Lynn. "The Self-Manufacture of Megan Fox." NYtimes.com. The New York Times, 11 Nov. 2009. Web. 27 Jan. 2011. .
"And after having appeared only in “Transformers” I and II, in which the true stars were giant robots, she created a rebellious, frankly sexual persona and talked her way into the limelight. The only problem is, having come so far so fast, how do you stay this year’s girl when the year is almost over?" (Hirschberg 1).
Revised:
Megan Fox's acting experience is clearly not the reason she soared to instant stardom. Her career in film art is neither extensive nor completely credible, having only appeared in "Transformers" I and II, where she was more of a supporting actress than the main focus of the movie and sequel. She reached celebrity status in Hollywood by creating "a rebellious, frankly sexual persona and talked her way into the limelight" (Hirschberg 1). Sure, Fox is everywhere now in the media because of her instant success and this persona she has created for herself. What happens when the public grow wary of her provocative comments and are her offers for films are growing scarce? How does she stay in the limelight? For Hirschberg and for Fox herself, that question seems to be an issue on both of their minds.
You did a good job paraphrasing everything from the original text, but your argument flows well into whatever would follow this citation--something else from this article or another source. I also like that you incorporated questions since that gets the reader's mind thinking about what he/she thinks.
