“In building a public personality the motion picture industry has perfected the device of stereotyping its stars.

Edward Jay Epstein The Hollywood Economist TEENS AND CAR CRASHES GO TOGETHER After Hollywood lost its audience to television in the 1950s‚ it had to reinvent itself. If it could no longer count on habitual moviegoers to fill theaters routinely‚ it would go into the business of audience-creation.
