Artists

Engagement of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was a good news to the huge fans of the American actor. Immediately after this announcement in Paris, TV channels started to broadcast the news in the best way they can. Among these, an interview with Katie was interesting: "He is very kind, gentleman,....". This, on the other hand, is Tom's 4th engagement as far as I know (or maybe I'm wrong). Anyway, I was thinking that in the case of an ordinary guy just like many of us, several engagements or qualities of this type can be interpreted as a disqualifying factor but for an artist...?
This just reminded a discussion between two friends who were talking about an Iranian singer and her life. One of the sides had some negative points on her life story. The other side, however, said that in the case of artists, the life is not that important. You should only look at his/her art.

In my opinion, In the case of artists and their life, the equation has many parameters; At least equal to the number of people they are in touch with. So the equation is really complex and can not be understood well.

  • U can always try to separate the way people live their personal lives and their "work" life.
    U can have brillinat scientists, wonderful artists (be it figuarative art or literature or whatever) and genious chefs that are complete wrecks in other aspects of their lives. This doesn't reduce their merit as scientist or artist or chef.
    One of the few cases I would make it count though (although even in this case partially!) is for politicians ;)

  • Many believe that the Hollywood celebrities are the royal family of the US. People can never get enough of them. They always want to know more. On the other hand, media needs "content" and what's more convenient than having a few gossip columnists sit around and talk about the engagement of two people that they probably have not ever met? So this brings us to the point that the merit becomes almost disregarded. If an actor wins an award for his work, it's mentioned only once or twice in the news, but the media has one hell of a good time if the same actor divorces his wife or goes out of closet!

    I agree to some extent. But the thing is that artists (specially actors and actresses) are watched by more people (in this case, worldwide) compared to the ordinary ones such as employees.

    Negar:
    I think so. Actually, I've never been to US. But I have some American friends who say that the majority of people inside US do not like that view of US which is broadcasted by Hollywood.
