Now I understand your point better, you basically say that the cult around the actresses changes them to snobbish and egoistic persons.Prof Voluptuary said:I'm not really judging the actress, but the cult of personality built around them.
That has a great tendency to affect who they are and how they act -- and quite directly proportional to their popularity.
After time, either an actress deals with it proper -- or in many cases -- they really become the very thing I dislike.

I ultimately blame the greater American public for their enticement with the actress persona, but ultimately people are who they are.

the cult of personality makes a great number of actresses into the type of women that would very much be repulsive in person.
I've met several celebrity actresses in my time, and they are premadonnas.

Now I understand that they have to deal with the environment, but it doesn't mean they have to change who they are.
I know that they probably have had a lot of their sincerity turned on them earlier in their lives, but they should at least respect people who are "Joe American" who are just trying to help them.
I think this might be true for some of them, but not for the majority. Surely some of them just don't know how to deal with the loss of private life and the fact that nearly every step of them happens in public. Their seemingly egoistic behaviour could be a result of insecurity.
Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. An actress is a woman and you either find her beautiful or not. The problem is that you rarely see famous actresses like you would see the woman in your neighborhood. In these times, everything has to be perfect. People react negatively surprised when they see a celebrity without makeup - in fact they see more of the person behind the mask. This is something that upsets me, too.
So, my point is that actresses basically are women like every other. I don't think it shows weakness of character if their bevaviour changes with their public status.
