Acting Getting Started
If you think that you need to be the most beautiful, dashing, or well spoken individual to make it as an actor maybe you think again!
Acting Getting Started It's whats inside that makes a true star shine.
 In 1947, there was no Rock Hudson.
But there was a Roy Fitegerald, who worked in his father's electrical-appliance store and at other odd jobs after getting out of the Navy.
In a period of transition he worked co-operatively with the perceptive agent who saw
exciting possibilities in him, and he worked with the late great coach Sophie Rosenstein, of Universal-International Studios. In short, he worked, worked, WORKED twenty-four hours a day to become the Rock Hudson of today.
Stardom Has No Physical Limitations.
Spencer Tracy is short on stature but long on stellar power. So are Alan Ladd and James Cagney.
John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Gregory Peck tower over the six-foot mark-and hit the six-figure mark in salary.
Stocky Edward G. Robinson's everyday appearance is reduced to a negligible fact when he becomes a lovable hero or a hateful villain, wondrously sensitive or appallingly brutal, intelligent or bestial, according to the requirements of the role he's portraying.
Rotund Charles Laughton can transform himself into contrasting characters covering a tremendous range.
Jimmy Durante's big nose never lost him a fan. Nor did Joe E. Brown's big mouth. Nor Martha Raye's, either.
 The late Humphrey Bogart's lisp might have been a liability to a lesser man. He, however, used it as a subtle instrument of characterization.
Ernest Borgnine is no Mr. America, but that didn't keep him from winning an Academy award. Tab Hunter is what the girls call a dreamboat, but Frank Sinatra is by no conventional standards a handsome man.
Their Stardust is made of entirely different things.
Katharine Hepburn never could have won a beauty contest
Elizabeth Taylor could. Debbie Reynolds is a doll-faced cutie. Academy award winner Joanne Woodward is nothing of the kind.
Sometimes it's the off-beat qualities that sprinkle you with star-dust
Richard Widmark is way off-beat Yet his fan mail stacks up favorably with that of Sir Laurence Olivier, a star renowned as a classic hero.
Stardust sprinkles Leslie Caron with an enchanting, elfin charm. It gives an irresistible sparkle to June Allyson's eyes.
Remember this:
In show business there is a place for every type.
 After acquiring self-knowledge and training under expert guidance, real stars learn to stylize their liabilities into assets and to develop their natural assets into symbols of an ideal.
So can you.
