I suppose because celebrities are so very much more public about everything (and I do mean everything) than they used to be it results in a sense of both unrealistic familiarity and extra judgmentalism from the public. They're in our face so very much more - by their own choice - that it's hard not to think you know enough about them to make a judgment. It's also entertainment for a lot of people. I mean, if I, who couldn't give less than the tiniest shit about these people, know anything at all about the fact that Beyonce had twins or a Kardashian got a new tattoo on her personal region or something, then the data overload is massive.
Celebrities were more distant in the 60s.
I admire RVs politics and his zeal. I don't necessarily agree with every single part of his politics, though I lean that way. I will say nothing about this revelation (to me) about David McCallum's voting choice except that if there was ever a motivation for separating an actor from his character, y'all have just handed me a MASSIVE one.
