I'm familiar with Michael Douglas as an actor and have enjoyed various of his film roles. He is also an interesting example of an actor who actually successfully followed a parent into show business. Although like maybe most other people, I have fantasized about being famous, as someone who is not, I often wish I knew less about celebrities' private lives. In a public way, celebs play the role of "popular kids" in school, living rarified in our minds as if on some other plane, which of course they aren't.
