Movie stars and singers never fully pass away because their images are replayed on film and recordings, over and over.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're a movie star, there's a cycle you go through: adoration, adulation, you're used, and then you're discarded. And it happens again and again, always in that sequence.
Actors will change their face, will change their hair, will change their voice, will disappear into the role. A movie star doesn't disappear.
People say you never remember anybody who dies in movies, and it's true, you don't. You don't even remember people who disappear.
I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.
I have to tell everyone that when I finish a film and it goes out and is released, I never look at my films again. I don't like looking back. I don't even like talking about 'em! So I'm really digging back in my memory because I don't like to sit and look at my films again.
Sometimes Hollywood manages to knock a movie in its teeth so hard that it never manages to get back up.
Sometimes a movie knows you're watching it. It knows how to hold and keep you, how, when it's over, to make you want it all over again.
Most famous stage actors tactfully fade away.
You put yourself on tape as an actor a lot - and you send them off, they go out into the ether, and you have no idea what's going to come back, or when.
With films, you get to develop a set of characters, and then, at the end of the film, you have to throw them away.
