[QUOTE="Toni, post: 438333, member: 82"] Ignorant people of any age wouldn´t recognize Marilyn or Mickey. They are denying the existence of anything older than one year. But ask any gay man or woman of any age who Judy, Crawford, Taylor, Bette, Montgomery Clift, James Dean or even Mae West were, and you might be surprised. If they don´t know them not at 20 y.o., give them a few years and they will know their work, or at least the main events of their lives. It´s popular culture that is the reverse of what happens today with celebrities, who are chewed and spit out in a couple of years, tops. The true stars came to stay, and what they represented in and out of movies cemented the interest for public figures from entertainment industry. They were not Nobel Prizes but they didn´t need to be so, for their dedication to their craft and their public. I still consider the actresses who started in late 60s / early 70s as part of that "star system" (Barbra, Faye, Fonda, Liza, Sarandon, even those from early 80s: Lange, Pfeiffer, Meryl, Close). So, many people under 30 won´t even recognize themselves in the mirror every day because their attention span is soooo short. Of course, the ones in this board are the exceptions (kissy, kissy!). Just my two cents. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]58707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]58708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]58709[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
