Hollywood calls personality the ability to stand out in a crowd. Aside from the list of big stars, this does a 'deep dive' into Donna Reed. Then it asks the audience to pick one of three girls opposite Mickey Rooney. One of them is Esther Williams although she's not swimming here. It names a lot of names. Some I recognize. Some I don't. One of the don't is actress Susan Peters. I've never heard of her name. This short plays her up to be the next big thing. She was struck by a tragic gun accident in 1945 and her on-screen career never recovers. That's the thing. Personality is not enough. It's a lot of luck and the unknowable pixie dust magic. This short does the unintended. It shows that fame is fickle.
