Celebrity is its own reward.
The first seems to have been the Gabor Sisters.They were not particularly talented, but they could talk up a storm and pEople liked their Hungarian accents.
They were the first celebrities who were famous for being famous.
The Kardassians are also famous for being famous. One has her buns surgically altered, marries Kanye West (whose celebrity seems similar to me) and they name their kid ''North West''. This sort of seems to limit them to one more kid (South), unless they want to get into Northbynorth and Southbysouth.
It is sort of like the real estate developer who buys an ancient Mount Trashmore and builds ''Deauville Heights'' upon it. and peddle it to those the nouveau riches, who have lots of deau.
Except that even when the truth is revealed, it become an archaeological site.This basketball player had a drug addict father and a sad, sad childhood, and somehow he made the NBA! One can only wonder if someone will write his life story and then make a semi factual biopic about it.
The hero mentioned did not make the pros, because the real pros (in the military) are not there to be pros. He will simply live out his life in government disability. His fifteen minutes of fame are sadly over. Well, probably.
Which biopic would you rather see?
Life is not a movie or a best selling novel. It is not fair.
