I absolutely know several actors who have never even seen IT'S A
WONDERFUL LIFE because it's in black and white. They've just never
bothered to watch it. These are actors for God's sake. How can you
expect anyone to know who some of these people are if they've never
seen them... At that point you have to forget them ever watching a
silent movie unless they are in a film class... So it adds up to the
fact that they'll never know about these stars. That's just really sad.

On the flip side, my mother-in-law did not know who Bruce
Springsteen was until she watched him during the Super Bowl half time.

Twenty years ago, there was a joke circulating.
A baby boomer observed two teenagers in a record store looking at
some "Beatles" record albums. One turned to the other and said, "I
didn't know Paul McCartney was in a band before "Wings"!
When you tell that joke to a teenager now, they say, "What are record albums?"
How come, with all the endless "improvements" in the world, people
seem generally less happy, more stressed, and have to work harder to
"keep up" than ever before?

Unfortunately I had two occasions when major stars were not heard
of. I went to Frank Sinatra Jr's concert at Jones Hall in Houston
last year. I stayed after the show to meet him, get his autograph
on my CD and have a picture taken with him. After printing the
picture at CVS, I showed it to the cashier and told her he was the
son of Frank Sinatra. Her response was, "Who is Frank Sinatra?
On the otherhand, most remember Judy Garland and Debbie
Reynolds. Of course they know Debbie Reynolds of Will & Grace fame
and not from The Unsinkable Molly Brown. And many young and old
continue to watch The Wizard of Oz.
