Judith Ward's background story?
I had GF for a couple months, but did not check out The Pinnacles homes until now. First was Judith Ward's castle, and after reading her bio I have so many questions about her. I like most of my si...

This is a few months old but hopefully it doesn't count as a necro. I only got around to playing with her in the last two months. I generally have backstories for any new sims that I play with to the extent that I need them. A back story for me can be as simple as, "Paolo Rocca is an Italian Catholic. His family came from Naples and was more modest in origins, but not a crime family."
Judith Ward is pretty funny and I'll admit I've had fun with her. Lately I try to check in with every pre-made house in order to get a feel for them. I'm keeping her in my rotation so far and she'll probably have a kid, though I feel slightly sorry for that child in advance. I think she has been designed so that you can play her as an Old Hollywood starlet ie: Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Vivian Leigh, as a slightly aged Taylor Swift (age her down to YA and she looks a lot like her) or just as a celebrity disaster. I also see elements of Joan Rivers in her and Christine Baranski. (I'm not from that generation, I'm just familiar with them).
Her house is designed without modern technology such as tvs so that you can actually play her as a historic save in the 1930s/1940s.
I've said that she was born into fame. Her parents were famous Old Hollywood actors who didn't have a lot of time for her but also pushed her into fame with them. The Bailey-Moon family in the Pinnacles is like a more modern version of them and the child could end up like Judith if not given enough ability to build empathy or healthy outlets outside of fame. (I'm not really playing with the Bailey-Moon family but you definitely could.) She became a superstar actress herself with a lot of talent but she's narcissistic and lonely. She's also at the point where she is aging. Clearly at the point that the game starts her, she's had a lot of professional success and not a lot of personal success. I've been a little tempted to age her down to YA and watch the progression, but I'm ok with leaving her as-is.
I mentioned elsewhere that as I've played her, she had a secret marriage with her butler who was then basically trapped in her mansion due to her not wanting to go public. He secretly had ambitions of fame, being a butler was his equivalent of being a bartender. That's why he was working for her but he never mentioned it to her. He signed up for an agency and started acting (as well as getting really fit and frankly, really good-looking). Judith got jealous and also saw him as an upstart. She has this unhealthy interest in wanting men to "be a man" in a way that involves them walking out on her. (Think Scarlett O'Hara). So, she got involved with her co-star as well because after all, he is famous though not as much as her.
Her butler is going to keep pursuing fame. I haven't decided if he and Judith will continue being off and on for a while. I get the feeling that if he throws a drink in her face, she'll like him more. Eh, she's a fun character. I think she will have a kid though I haven't determined the father. Perhaps it'll be a mystery of either the butler or the co-star. I'd kind of like the child to be a daughter who grows up to reject her mother's ways as a kinder actress but I'll let randomness decide. When the father is determined, he will take an interest in the child though maybe not a lasting interest in Judith.
No, I don't want to be Judith, or her butler, or her co-star. Entertaining though.
