in Tinseltown it’s not all glitz and
glamour welcome to watchmojo.com one by
one in today’s installment we’re
counting down the five myths about
Hollywood that had a star struck myth
number five every star wants to be on
the Walk of Fame believe it or not the
Hollywood Walk of Fame didn’t exist in
the Golden Age of Hollywood and so a
would-be icon like James Dean could
never have craved the Hollywood star on
the Boulevard of broken dreams you’re
tearing me apart
but since nineteen sixty-two thousand
five hundred stars have been dispersed
across the one and a half miles of
Hollywood Boulevard leading many to
believe that hard work or public
adoration leads to such an honor however
that’s only partially true as the star
itself costs $30,000 do you see Oscar
winners such as Al Pacino Clint Eastwood
or Julia Roberts on the Walk of Fame
no because they haven’t submitted to the
process of paying the Hollywood Chamber
of Commerce every year the organization
actually selects 24 individuals that are
worthy of a star but it’s actually more
about a parade of publicity given the
hefty price tag I looked out you know
I’ve got my mom and my dad I’ve got my
kids my wife friends and family I
couldn’t help but think gosh I’m I’m so
much better than you
myth number four you can legally touch
the Hollywood sign in 1978 the Hollywood
sign trust was formed to protect the
iconic landmark and since 2000 it’s been
equipped with motion detection
technology unsurprisingly this means
it’s illegal to chill with the 45-foot
sign let alone touch it back in 1932
actress peg Entwistle not only climbed
the H but also jumped to her death today
something like that will likely never
happen given the 24-hour surveillance
the heightened security has evolved for
several reasons as the location is
naturally more prone to fire and the
surrounding neighborhoods need some
privacy
after all the Hollywood sign was
originally created for real estate
purposes not for the stars in bladder
voiding as in real estate its location
location location
and so trespassers can be arrested and
given a $1,000 fine but given the allure
of the Hollywood sign and the various
hiking trails people still linger around
and some have actually succeeded in
their quest over the years but it just
isn’t worth the risk
no matter how romantic it looks in the
movies bizarre situation this afternoon
in the Southland the LAPD rescued a
local man from the Hollywood Sun this is
only real land for me actually grabbed
through the foils like it you run a
marathon I love this myth number three
it’s not what you know it’s who you know
how’s the show going good yeah yeah yeah
any good partner uh maybe in Hollywood
strong connections and faux smiles means
something but not everything
even so fame-hungry individuals will
often fall victim to the myth that
heritage will trump talent what follower
hear about this just take a look at
Leonardo DiCaprio who actually grew up
in Hollywood and while his father George
was a well-known comic book writer that
didn’t mean that Leo had any connections
to the industry what does that mean in
English his own personal struggles and
effort landed him spots and commercials
and the devilishly handsome star had to
claw his way to the top
obviously there are plenty of actors and
actresses that receive help in their
rise to stardom but it’s also important
to remember the craft itself hey
Scarlett hey how are you acting classes
are essential just as some products of
nepotism like Jaden Smith don’t ever let
somebody tell you
you can’t do something
[Music]
not even me
[Music]
all right comics also spent years
developing their craft including Jim
Carrey a man with immense talent that
still had to overcome numerous obstacles
to get his big shot
know what I’m doing I know what I’m
doing I can handle it and so it’s not
about who you know it’s about how damn
good you are most of the time they asked
me to give you this gratitude I don’t
want your money please I just also to
remind you that you hold a third class
ticket and that your presence here is no
longer appropriate myth number two all
press is good press oh we hope the
fasten hurt the baby stars always want
to keep their relevance and stay in the
public eye and when there doesn’t appear
to be any immediate consequences for a
questionable behavior one can easily
subscribe to this idea that all press is
good press well all press is good press
no this was bad press a lot of homes
were very gradually flooded celebrities
know how to play the game but reputation
means something as well and when you
push a bit too far the internet will
surely take notice how you mean things
doesn’t matter words have weight and
meaning and the word I chose was
grotesque
and you know no one deserves to say or
hear words like that and then there’s
Bill Cosby an iconic name in comedy that
was exposed by his contemporaries I feel
relieved now didn’t know then I’m able
to say it and not be afraid anymore only
to be exposed even further when he
infamously asked Twitter to meme him and
the cheeky trolls ate him alive so
celebrities often experienced the
consequences of questionable personal
branding decisions on social media in
current day Hollywood platforms like
Twitter snapchat and Instagram are
essentially part of a celebrity’s resume
and a lapse in judgment won’t go
unnoticed by prospective employers and I
got a billion-dollar franchise to
protect happy meals action figures
I can’t risk all that having my Aquaman
doing three hours a blow and every
multiplex in the country myth number one
the Oscars are just a collective circle
of back-patting real heavyweight on the
set is five-time Academy Award winner
Kirk Lazarus the brilliant
known for his bad-boy antics off screen
is famous for his total immersion into
any role he portrays the Academy Awards
represent Hollywood’s biggest night as a
list celebrities and powerful executives
revel in the subjective judgment of
approximately 6,000 Academy voters and
say what you will about the Academy’s
demographical makeup or even the idea
itself but the Oscars are far from a
meaningless night of back slapping and
circle jerking in other words Oscar
winners cash in both literally and
figuratively yeah apparently he’s a big
deal he won a Golden Globe you win an
Oscar you buy a Golden Glove and
according to a 2016 study best actor
winners receive a significant pay rise
of up to four million dollars on average
this contrasts the 500,000 that female
leads game highlighting an obvious
gender gap in the Hollywood industry
you’re an Academy Award nominated person
you need to be sell that shit dude of
course an Oscar win leads to more
exposure and opportunity for performance
but the Oscars can be a big deal for
smaller budget films that receive just a
nomination and even a mid-range film
like silver linings playbook tripled
it’s theater screenings upon receiving
the coveted nomination it’s gonna be
amazing and you’re gonna be amazing and
she’s gonna be amazing you’re not gonna
be that guy that’s gonna take advantage
of a situation without offering to do
something back so while this may not
exactly make the Oscars more meaningful
to you it certainly does for those who
work for it you are a pretty good actor
I’m going for the Oscar this year so how
many of these myths did you believe is
crush that here’s what Google searches
are asking about Hollywood can I become
famous is Hollywood really satanic do
