5. Good points--and it seems the Hollywood
so called 'golden era' stardom was very much manufactured by the studios. Studio heads didn't put people in films unless they had an interest in making them stars.

Once they did, they seemed to feel they 'owned them' and they seldom had lives of their own. When they did do things the studio disliked or thought was in contrast to their well groomed, studio image the studios had the press 'hush it up.' In the most severe cases, they manufactured rumours to debunk the reality of the celebrity's life more to the liking of the studio--in a way they felt made them more palatable, likeable, etc.
