I've been thinking about this thread since it was last bumped up. in particular I've been thinking about SeanMartin's post.

it sounds like some people are saying that, because Broadway's relevance in this generation has changed, there won't be what people consider to be "Broadway Legends." SeanMartin also pointed out that people of past generations who were famous and highly respected, are rarely known today.

What I was thinking about though, is about how our generation is a lot more preservable. With changes in technology like the internet (or even bootlegs for that matter, though I know we don't talk about that here), everything is more easily preserved. All reviews, interviews, videos of performances, etc. are posted online, and are thereby more accessible and enduring. Do you think that will have a balancing effect on the longevity of these actors' fame, even if they don't achieve the same level of stardom as some Broadway stars of past generations?

For a second there, I thought the original poster meant the Broadway Legends who post here on BWW. Oh well. from RC in Austin, Texas

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
