Why the Past 40 Years Have Changed Little for Hollywood Celebrities

Hollywood, with all of the celebrity gossip and scandal that seems to pervade the Internet and television, may seem like it’s a far cry from the good old days. You can’t turn on the television without hearing about the latest problems of all of your favorite and least favorite Hollywood icons. On the surface, it may seem like society, and Hollywood in particular, has spiraled out of control.

Of course, forty years ago, things really weren’t that much different than they are today. It’s easy to compare the celebrities of today with the Hollywood royalty of the past and see some striking similarities. Infidelity, inexcusable behavior, violence, and more have been a part of the Hollywood lifestyle for decades, and that is not likely to change.

When people have as much money and power as they do in Hollywood, it is easy for them to become lost, to believe that they can do whatever they wish and that they will face no repercussions. The way the legal system seems to deal with celebrities only exacerbates the problem. They often receive much lighter sentences for their illegal actions than a non-celebrity does.

Of course, that’s not to say that all celebrities in Hollywood are bad. In fact, just like in the past, usually a few people are the root cause of the problem. You will find just as many if not more people in Hollywood who are giving back to their communities, getting involved in charity work, and living normal lives.
