[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, why does the public support their brands?

The public was fascinated with John F. Kennedy, Jr. He wasn't a model, but it was his family tree the public was interested in.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Blythe Danner's daughter. Drew Barrymore came from a famous Hollywood family. Giada DeLaurentis has a famous grandfather.

The casting couch is also a real thing.

What is worse? Nepotism or sleeping your way to the top?

That's a weird way to put it. Sleeping your way to the top is generally thought to be pretty harmful t the people who have to do the sleeping. See, ex, Harvey Weinstein's victims.

As for "nepotism" - another way to think of it is, it's the world someone grew up in, of course it's a natural path to pursue. My dad is a lawyer and so I went to law school because it's what I knew. If my parents had been actors I probably would have grown up knowing a lot of people in the entertainment business, so I'd have an in, plus I'd have some understanding of how that world worked. Of course that's the path I'd pursue. Especially if I were also really good at it, like Drew Barrymore and Gwynneth Paltrow.

How do you expect people to find their ways into showbiz? Show up at a soda shop and get plucked off their stool?[/quote]
