[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I often wonder how America would be right now if we had never invented movies or Tv.

Before that, the only actor I can think of who made a permanent impact on American culture was John Wilkes Booth, and it wasn’t his acting.

Yea. I’ve never understood what happened in the 20th century. Movies? Was that it? Before the 20th century actors (sociologically) were only half a step above prostitutes. And, compensated/revered accordingly.
