Emphasis Preaching Journal

Ezra Goodman, in his book, The Fifty-Year Decline and Fall of Hollywood, speaks frankly about prima donna movie stars. He writes of the fantastic, though often non-factual, publicity that goes into the creation of a star. He adds, "True or not, the stars all believe the publicity after a while." Mr. Goodman states, "I have never met a grateful performer in the picture business."
