In the article Glamour, That Certain Something, written by Robin Givhan, he talks about how people veiw hollywood actors and our perception of who they truely are. He goes on to descibe what glamour is and why we are so entertained by this imaculate fantisy life. Givhan speaks to an audience that has similar thoughts. He includes himself in this category of people that loom and drool over these "cool" or "glamourous" gods.
Givhan describes how we, as in the general public, judge these celebrities surface values and not who they truely are. We are given the impression that these people take everything with a grain of salt and flow through life with ease while in reality they are working just aas hard to mae a living as the general public are. Givhan states that glamour isn't charisma. I strongly agree with this especially if it pretains to the Hollywood world. Sure in the movies we may think we know their true heart warming selves when really they are cold hearted old grumps. I am willing to bet money that Dumbldore of that beloved series Harry Potter is just a scrooge in real life. Givhan's article tells us its hard to tell.
He goes on to mention famous political leaders and how they are classified which to disagree with him they to could be putting on a show much similar to a movie of the hollywood actors. So, even the political leaders are hard to put in a category of charisma or glam.
Being famous is a whole different world. Once you accept it you have to choose are you going to be the srcooge with a glamourous facade or are you going to be truely beautiful inside in out. I don't care what anyone says these ladies are beautiful are inside and out (Scarlett Johannson, Natalie Portman, Reese Witherspoon).
Robin Givhan's article speaks truth about a world we know very little about. A part of me is glad i dont know the truths about most actors or celebrites because if I did I would find myself disliking anything they are tied to or represent.
