Burden of the Stars

Burden of the Stars

• Dichotomy

– Idols must appear simultaneously identifiable and close enough to be attainable

– Yet, they must be idealized and far away enough to seem flawless

• Double-edged sword

– Affords actors great fortune

– Strictly limits the actor’s ability to be a real person, flaws and all
