THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF HOLLYWOOD
Naturally, once she is established and her name has become synonymous with sex, she can relax; she can then afford to be bored by male reporters and catty to women reporters ; she can give her hips, exhausted from perpetual swinging, a rest, put her feet up and let her hair down. She can even say that she is through with men (no one will believe her), answer all enquiries about her current romances with the phrase "No comment" (readers know what that means), and insist that she buys all her own jewellery.
You will have gathered that many sex-queens are mere pretenders to thrones to which they have never had any legitimate right. Some of them are lonely; and they are also often "mixed-up", which is understandable. When they have to be women instead of symbols they can be amazingly unsatisfactory.
In the collective libido of their public, they exist as fortuitously as an adolescent's day-dream: more vivid, more tantalising, more erotic than anything of flesh and blood can ever be, but as untouchable as a mirage. In their normal lives they have to cope with the inevitable disappointments which arise when an illusion is translated into reality.
When people talk about the sins of Hollywood, they are usually thinking of the off-screen activities of the sexqueens. But, as I have indicated, many of them are only pretenders and their "off-screen activities" are an integral part of the pretence.
It seems to me that what could more validly be described as a Hollywood sin is that so many of the sexqueens are, in point of fact, lacking in sex.
The interest of the public shifts. It used to be focused on Betty Grable's legs. Today the obsession is with the bosom. It has reached the proportions of a mass fetish.
