Being a woman and a movie star is a business in Hollywood. And they look as though they had worked at it. They walk alone. I didn't see one who looked happy. Their faces seem to say: 'I won't be here long. I know my fate, but I must exist and above all look the part until — well, as long as it lasts.' Do you know how we recognized the stars?
