Subject: You are so right. I even see "A-list" actors doing commercials -- they don't give a hoot.(Inside)
In reply to: Cece 's message, "It's a completely different attitude. Britain has a long history of repertory theatre, with professional theatre dating back to 1500s. Shakespeare wasn't the only playwright of his day, (just the best imo). Brit actors like to act. it doesn't matter if it's in tv series, cameo roles, the stage, or feature films. They are actors first and stars second. (Inside.)" on 12:49:19 06/10/14 Tue

It's great, too, how they appear on chat shows and mix with lesser-known actors or performers with absolutely no attitude. It's so great when the 'beautiful' American A-listers have to sit with a mixed group and are treated like everyone else. It's so refreshing to see actors age normally. They take care of themselves, no doubt, but it usually stops with impeccable grooming vs. plasticizing themselves. I also love the humor here. People can be self-depreciating without feeling they are waving all kinds of 'negative vibes' over themselves. That abnormal push on the powers of positivity that Hollyweird espouses makes me nauseous. It's wonderful to be positive and see the glass half-full, but to emphasize delusions of happiness, calm, peace, and being 'zen' (ughh!) is such a crock -- even harmful to the general public! It's just so nice that acots and hi-profile celebs here (most of them) walk around on the streets with and like everyone else.

[> [> [> [> [> What some people may not know is that acting wasn't considered a respectable profession, and actors were pretty much in the margins of society----hence the placing of the Globe outside the walls of London. Of course women weren't allowed on the stage until after the restoration of the Crown. And those women were way down the society's totem pole. I believe they were on par with women of shady morals, so to speak. -- Cece, 00:25:24 06/14/14 Sat [1]
