I agree with everything you stated, but I would qualify this: "For an actor, becoming a Hollywood star can be just as valid as the aspiration of someone else to become a federal judge, or a university president, or a bank president."

It isn't the aspiration that's the problem. It's the price one might have to pay to make it happen. Moral compromise for the sake of wealth and fame is still moral compromise.

I would bet that, every day, hundreds of young women leave Hollywood and go back home to normal lives because they weren't willing to do what it would take to become a star. I applaud them.
