About this Quote

This quote by Ben Hecht speaks to the culture of Hollywood and the lack of privacy that exists for celebrities. Hecht is recommending that people's sex habits are also known in Hollywood as their political opinions, and yet they are not slammed in the same way. This might be because sex is viewed as a more personal matter, and for that reason not open to public examination. It could also be due to the fact that of the glamorization of Hollywood, where individuals's sex lives are seen as part of the celebrity lifestyle. Hecht's quote indicates that individuals's sex lives are viewed as less important than their political viewpoints, which they are not judged in the same way. This could be viewed as a reflection of the culture of Hollywood, where individuals's personal lives are typically viewed as less important than their public persona.
