Anime recommendations

i havent watched "my daddy long legs" but when i read ur question i thought of "glass mask(glass no kamen)". its not focused on romance but u might like it... its about a young girl(13yo) who wants to become an actress and a guy who's secretly supporting her(and yes there is something between them).there is also another girl who's like her "rival".
the plot from google :') :
Two Girls. One Dream. And the entire world for a stage.

At 13 years old, Maya Kitajima seems destined to spend the rest of her life toiling in a crowded restaurant alongside her bitter and unstable mother. But when her incredible acting talent is discovered by the legendary diva Chigusa Tsukikage, Maya finds a new future filled with both golden opportunities and terrifying risks.

For Ayumi Himekawa, success has always been assured, yet she longs to be recognized for her own talents and skills, not her famous parents' connections.

For both, the ultimate prize is the role of The Crimson Goddess in the play of the same name, a part created by Chigusa. To achieve this goal, both Maya and Ayumi must seek out and conquer every acting challenge, pushing the limits of their talent and endurance to the utmost, until they are worthy of the part…

But for one to win, the other must fail!

(okay since i havent watched "daddy long legs" i have on idea about what u r looking for :'))

Ohhh, it sounds very interesting and neat. Similar to daddy long legs where there is also a benefactor. Thanks for the recommendation :D im excited about this

no problem! oh its also kinda old if u dont mind(▰˘◡˘▰)

p.s. there are 2 versions of this anime i have watched the most recent one(2005) but the plot is same on both i guess :')

Ohhh, that's better then! Im actually looking for an old romance type of anime since i really liked the culture and generation back then
