Yup, sorry for the wrong reference. What I meant is that I believe (might be wrong) that earlier generations would not be so taken with the idea of becoming showbiz stars.
Actors/actresses, singers etc. would be famous, well regarded and so on, but I think they were seen more like a sort of "aristocracy" while, at least for boys, the aspirational models were more in the field of sports.
