this is a little game I give my students to impress upon them just how fleeting fame really is...
in 2 minutes make a list of all the famous people you can think of...
after that, go back and cross everyone off the list who hasn't been in anything new (or had a hit) in 5 years....
you'll find the list gets pretty small
rich AND famous is a false assumption..
rich AND/OR famous is more on the mark...
both can go very quickly
in this biz only 2% (TWO PERCENT!!!) of actors work... of that percentage - a millipercent are "stars" - out of the "star" an even SMALLER percent pull down the big, big bucks....
think about it...

"Yeah - painful for the STUPID not the rest of us!"
