Cannes Film Festival Retrospective The Days of True Movie Star Style

New post on one of my favorite blogs, The Selvedge Yard on Cannes in the 60’s and the 70’s.

“Movie stars sure ain’t what they used to be.  Who are the new Redfords, Newmans and Brandos of this generation, anyway?  Right.  Is it just me, or is celebrity status a cheap date nowadays that any hack with marginal talent and a flash of skin can get into bed?  Blame the media, society, culture, you name it. Blame us after all, at the end of the day– we’re essentially feeding all of the above.  Yes, it’s a disposable, razor-thin world we’re living in– where all too often, quantity wins over quality, and fast & crass trumps character & class.  Well get me the hell out of here, thank you very much.”
