Fame is so Fickle...

David Duchovny and that woman from that show. I hear he's up for a "Check into Cash" ad though.

Oh YEA, the Twin Peaks gang!

What about that guy from Miami Vice? Micheal J. Wagadorn? Was that his name?

I just hope that the people who are "hot" right now realize that it doesn't last. This isn't "their life forever." Things can and WILL change just as fast going down as they did going up.

They're lucky if they get 5-10 years of notoriety out of it. Most will never be seen or heard of again. Hollywood will look for something fresh and new. They always do.

VERY few of them will have long careers or ever land another TV series again. So they should save their money, and hopefully they can and will move onto other things gracefully... and never HAVE to work again.

Oh, who am I kiddin'? They'll likely end up on the Great White Way as the 61st replacement for Madame Morrible in Wicked, or Billy in Chicago, or Miss Baltimore Crabs... or...

I agree best.

But I just want to add this: if you love acting and you don't want to do anything else, you will eventually have to take jobs that are less prestigious then when your star was on the rise. That's the reality and as long as you still love what you do and aren't bitter about fame's passing...keep on keepin' on.

Kyle McLachlan

I'm thinking he's pretty happy on Desperate Housewives

I never considered Grant Goodeve a major star.....damn goodlooking, yes....but a major star? No...

David Caruso did some OK film work.

Let's face it, not everyone can be Charlton Heston or Clint Eastwood or even Johnny Depp.

Like Best said...fickle.

Besty-I'm not sure, but isn't Henry Winkler involved in the business in some other capacity? Like directing or producing? I could be mistaken.

It's not that fame is fickle. It's that it's fleeting, like all success, in any field. You think that because you achieve success once, you're entitled to keep on achieving it for the rest of your life.

Nuh-uh.

It's a gift from the gods and goddesses, and you have to make the most of it while you have it, because someday you will lose it.

And someday always comes too soon.

Real estate. It's a buyer's market.

What a coincidence-I was just listening to the radio and one of the Jersey Boys said he was about to name drop-he mentioned that he sent a script to Henry Winkler!

---

Fame, when you win it, comes and goes in a minute. Where the REAL stuff in life to clinnnnnng to?

---

What about the cast of "Dynasty?"
