Ellie Kemper : Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

There are people who actually have talent that want to get into the biz and don't have connections to buy their way in. People like Ellie have nothing to lose. If her Hollywood career stalls, she can just shake it off with an "oh well" and go back to being a rich princess. There's no hunger there to do well, this a hobby that she gets paid for. Ridiculous.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

I am kinda 50/50 with you on this one. On one hand if she has a dream to make it big she should be afforded the opportunity, on the other, if she gets the gig over someone just as qualified that can't quite afford her way there, then I think that is wrong as well. Tough double edge sword on this one.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

It's showbiz. You can be very attractive, multitalented, hardworking, have a great personality, be wealthy, have great connections and still not amount to anything. You have to have luck and the "it" factor to make it big. Unlike many careers, the entertainment business does not have specific credentials. You don't need to graduate with a college degree to become an actor, director a musician. You don't even need to take acting lessons. You just need to produce a product (i.e. yourself, a song, movie, etc) that people want. This is not something you can train for and achieve guaranteed success. The most talented actor will remain an unknown if people don't find him/her intriguing.

Look at Jim Carrey. He was homeless for crying out loud. He certainly wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Despite his tough life, he managed to become a huge star. Why? Because people found him hilarious. He managed to catch everyone's attention. His humor may or may not be your cup of tea, but you can't deny that he has achieved great success.

Wealthy people should not be prohibited from pursuing a career in showbiz. Their wealth won't guarantee any sort of success anyway. Having money makes it easier to get your foot in the door, but you can just as easily get kicked out of the room if you don't have what Hollywood is looking for. A poor person with the "it" factor can certainly triumph over an unremarkable rich person even if both of them are equally talented and attractive.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

I love your reply! It's about the "it" factor, and it is indeed a business. I thought Ellie was hysterical in Bridesmaids. I almost wish I never found out she was rich, because I do see her slightly differentlybut I shouldn't :( It's complicated.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Are u kidding me?? So based on your logic, people who aren't financially struggling shouldn't do what they love because they don't need the money? That is such *beep* Everybody bitches about the reality tv ppl like Kim K and Paris Hilton about them being rich bitches who don't do anything and then u have the nerve to complain about this woman who is actually auditioning and not getting parts just based off of her celeb status, not to mention she has a genuine comedic talent and timing. It sounds to me like nothing is going to please youit sounds like u just don't like ppl who have money.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

You clearly aren't familiar with Julia Louis Dreyfus.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

I'm surprised at the comments here as well she shouldn't do anything with her life because she was born into a rich family? Shame on you people.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Great example! I have be5b4en a fan of hers since her SNL days, and I had no idea her father was a BILLIONAIRE. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is incredibly talented, and I think it says a lot about her character that she prefers to constantly work over sucking the teet of a trust fund. I get the feeling Ellie Kemper is the same way.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

lmao the OP is just trolling.

i guess the OP is just jealous of ellie and is poor so they hate anyone with money or something. That jokes.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Rich princess? Who the *beep* is she?

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

At least she is DOING something. Not just sucking up life and air. She makes people smile and I don't think everyone can do that.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

This 100%!

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

I think people just get irritated/jealous that the rich can buy more opportunities. It's the truth - it's easier to succeed when you're rich.

INSIGHTFUL SAYINGS!

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

As it should be. Otherwise, there is no incentives and everything falls apart.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

This is one of the dumbest, most ignorant posts I've ever seen on here. You are a clueless buffoon.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Huh had no idea she was from a well-off family. Oh well she's doing something productive. You know there are so many famous actors who come from rich families or acting families. The Mara sisters are also loaded.

What happened to that dream of small-town kid making it big in Hollywood anyway, was that just a liewhere is this generations Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, DiCaprio, Oprah


I neither know or care anymore about this rambling.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Sure, there's no reason in the world not to randomly dump on celebrities on the internet. They're practically begging for it.
You go, girl.


Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

I didn't know she was rich. That 3x0lains 3verytjing. I've been posting here and there how BLAND and completely in charismatic she is.

She can go to every fine institution there is, and take acting classes all over the world.she has no talent. You're right, there are actors who give their all on stage every day for years here in the great theatre city of Chicago, as well as New York and elsewhere, but never get noticed. This dumb, talentless, squinty-eyed rich bitch buys her way into schools, and manages to get "discovered" (cough, cough).

It's insidious.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

(cough, cough) Indeed.
Sounds like someone has that green eyed jealousy bug (cough, cough)
Those that can, do. Those that can't, come here and whine about those that can and did..
LMAO

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Come on, folks, the OP is very clearly trolling.


I don't read or respond to private messages. Sorry.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Yep pretty much, her family's enormous wealth made it very easy for her to pursue a career in showbiz, just like all the other rich brats you see in entertainment

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

It used to be kind of a novelty for an actress/actor to come from money. Now, it's practically all you see.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

@khrrsch


Oh, come off itlike oneb68 of the previous postersbeing rich is absolutely NO guarantee you will have a long-lasting career to show business. Also her family isn't even in show business, so what connections would she have that she didn't make on her own? What makes you think her family helped her, when their aren't even in the business? And people have pursued careers in show business whether they were rich or poor. I mean, how long did spoiled rich gal Paris Hilton's so-called film career last before it sputtered to a halt? I also don't see anybody knocking down Kim K's door to be in any movies either, except for that one Tyler Perry flick. Money can buy you a lot of things, but one thing it definitely can not buy or produce for you is your own talentthat can only come from within yourself. And also, show business is not always to easiest to make it in,anyway.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

At least she's working and not just free loading at home.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

Just found out that she comes from a rich family, would never have guessed that about her. I have been a fan of hers, now I'm a bigger fan because of the show 'Unbreakable Kimmy". I think looking at her credits, she worked her way up after doing so many short roles. She definitely has the 'it factor' and is so hilarious.

Re: Why do mega rich people want to get into showbiz?

I don't know, I get what you're saying but if you have money to fall back on then you should absolutely follow your dreams because rich folks who never try always end up losing a lot of their money cause they fail fail fail. So good for her for having a job and she's a lot of fun to watch.
