A friend of mine is writing a biography about her aunt,she was a B list actress and was best known for the character Vampira,which was copied by the character Elvira in more recent times. I have been proofreading the chapters as she sends them,and it is a fascinating story. I was struck this morning by how important the adoration and attention were to her and how she had cut herself out of so many potential breaks by not thinking she was getting her due respect. Admittedly it would be a tough business to break into and not for the faint of heart,but the ones that do indeed make it in their chosen profession then shun their audience and demand privacy...seems the very thing that drove them to their success comes around full circle to haunt them. Not something I would want either of,the adoration or being in the public eye,but without those who do thrive on those very things we,the humble masses would be without entertainment,or at least that type of entertainment.
