Starlet Brite

A recent magazine had a picture of Suzy Starlet on it's cover, along with the caption, "Suzy Starlet, Down to earth and really funny." I looked at Suzy's picture and then the caption several times. I waited for some reaction from my brain other than the blank I was drawing. Then it occurred to me...the reason I had no reaction was that I did not know who Suzie Starlet was. The magazine that is older than I am, has moved on and kept up with the world.

It seems that Suzie was the star of one of those blonde movies that I have never seen and will never see. Like I really care. Then I remembered that I do not really care about any of these so called stars. I do not care what happens to Jennifer and Brad, Lassie and Buddy, Curly and Moe or Jane and Jack, and I do not understand anyone other than their parents caring. I did not understand the attention paid to Princess Diana, the exwife of the potential figurehead of England. I also do not understand the popularity of race car drivers, ball players, and TV weathermen. Of course, some of this reaction could come from my television commercial background, doing commercials with Johnny Bench and other personalities.

By the way, Suzy married male star, Phillip Georges in 1999. Another bit of starlet and star trivia...if you care.
