I alway shake my head when someone mentions a movie star (new or old) as a hero or role model. Short of the likes of Jimmy Stewart and those in his vein…people come to admire the “character” that John Wayne or others played. It would be more accurate to refer to the writer or director of the particular film.

The movie stars of the 1940’s and 50’s are really nothing too far removed from today’s social media stars.

Better to keep our heroes personal.

I agree. However, when I was 6, John Wayne was my hero. I also thought that the hockey that I watched on television was played by robots.
