That is what writers do. Their performance is not contingent upon having readers. But isn't an actor's performance contingent upon having others view what they do? You can write alone, compose alone, poeticize alone but act alone? Reaction is what an actor strives for. Without it where is the incentive to perform?

You see Rita Hayworth on the screen as Gilda and know she died of Alzheimer's. Or James Dean in any of the few movies he made dying at such a young age in a car crash. Allegedly his heart was broken when Pier Angeli married Vic Damone. Or Natalie Wood as Gypsy Rose Lee knowing she drowned with some mystery surrounding it decades later. Or Robin Williams as Mork or Mrs. Doubtfire or just himself cracking up audiences with his zany brilliance knowing how his life ended. Bittersweet. less

I get the ball rolling by asking the question and it then takes off on its own or it just lies there dormant because it didn't appeal to anyone. You enjoy driving a car. You don't need to chat with the person who designed it. You enjoy a meal at a restaurant. On rare occasion a chef will come out and chat but it's rare. You still enjoyed eating the meal didn't you? It's a serious question. I'd like to know. less
Which would be more upsetting? Or would you simply accept it because your great leader so wished it and anytying your great leader wishes is your command? SIGH.
