Rebecca Dalton, a former model and widow of a rich businessman, is a central figure in the tale told in Almost Famous. Whilst not (seemingly) a cougar, Rebecca was clearly flattered by the attentions of a handsome, younger man, Derek Brookner, and pursued a relationship with him. However, when Derek asked to borrow money, she ended things, believing, like Polonius, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be,". Grant stole money from Rebecca's accounts to fund their efforts, simultaneously sabotaging her own attempts to set up independent businesses such as jewelry or fashion design.
