He does eventually turn her and the love becomes mutual (or in some adaptations it happens very quickly), but this relationship has sparked the envy of a very wealthy and/or influential man who becomes obsessed with the actress. That's the setup I'm looking for, beyond that it doesn't have to follow the traditional storyline (actually I'd sort of prefer if it didn't have a tragic ending, but I find that unlikely).
