About this Quote

This quote by Glenn Close talks to the idea that star can be a double-edged sword for actors. On one hand, celebrity can bring popularity and fortune, but on the other hand, it can be a death sentence for an actor's career. Celebrity can be a diversion from the craft of acting, and can result in a star being typecast in certain roles. It can likewise lead to a star being judged more roughly by the public, and can make it hard for them to take dangers and check out new functions. Celebrity can likewise cause a star being taken less seriously by their peers, and can lead to a disrespect for their craft. Ultimately, celebrity can be a burden for a star, and can result in an absence of imagination and a lack of growth in their profession.
