Celebrities Then and Now: Class vs. Crass

That was then...    
Big Hollywood  "The stars of today have lost that mystique of yore and became not only LIKE everyone else, but proved to be WORSE than everyone else. The respect for them evaporated, resentments rose and like Humpty Dumpty, they came crashing down off that pedestal.
"The stars had started openly flaunting their private lives, dressing sloppily, telling all of their personal secrets on TV interviews and using vulgarity, something that would have been unheard of with the stars of a classier time."
Rev*. Austin Miles    *How sad that he has to share the same honorific with Rev. Sharpton. One more case of class vs. crass, I suppose.


This is now, and wouldn't you say we are much the poorer for it?
