(Note: This is the first in a new series comparing stars and celebs of yesteryear with the folks who end up famous today.)
Many celebrities today are famous simply for being grossly rich, or for allowing every single second of their "real" life be filmed for television. Those who are famous for appearing in film or television shows seemto suffer less from talent than from excessive attractiveness (yes, there is a limit), scandals, or an arrest record. They Had Stars Then is intended to take you back to the days when celebrities were famous for doing something that was worth something and stars at least attempted to display some iota of talent or ability.
