Dear insansapinas,
In every decade, there were two or more actors and actresses whose stars shone brighter than the rest. Nothing is permanent and nothing lasts forever especially in the show business. Eventually, the stars faded, died and were forgotten. Some had children who followed their footsteps. Some became popular; some were not as lucky as their parents.
