Stars are generally narcissists of the first order. No one can achieve that status unless they put themselves first, last and always. And they are invariable very, very cold. Shirley MacLaine’s daughter has written a tell-all on mom and she is the quintessential “star” - easily bored, cold and indifferent to other people’s interests. And very hard-working, I might add.
Stars - if they have genuine talent - save all their personal warmth and humanity for the stage.
That makes sense. Narcissists require absolute affirmation (being wrong or less than perfect is like death to them). What better affirmation is there than stardom?
