Would you agree that fame has a very huge downfall these days?
I mean, it must have been a lot easier 60 years ago when all of the major studios (Warner Bros.) protected the reputations of their actors. (i.e. if one was arrested for a D.U.I, ‘the studio would take care of it’ and keep it out of the public eye.
But today in 2009, D.U.I. news is FRONT PAGE news!
Not to mention, with hi-tech handheld devices, audio devices, portable cameras can catch actors off-guard at their worst, like when Christian Bale’s 36 F-Bomb tirade was caught on tape.
Not to mention, even regular people carry around handheld cameras with them, and they are always taking pictures of celebrities when they are shopping in stores. It’s like the celebs have no privacy at all.
Was it a lot easier to be famous 60 years ago than today?

I agree 100% with you on this. Actors now have no privacy, especially A list celebrities. People know where they are at all times. Paparazzi follows them everywhere they go, and if they make a mistake that any of us can commit, it’s front page news. 60 years ago, the paparazzi had less influence on an actors image. Actors were well protected and had less exposure, IMO with the internet, it got a lot worse for them.
