A
single big hit movie can turn you into a superstar. However, if you
are not able to follow up this big hit of yours with other good
movies, your stardom would be lost just as quickly as it was granted
to you. There are many names in the history of the movie industry who
were touted to be the biggest superstars after their first big hit,
but soon these names got lost under the burden of flop films. Only
very few actors are able to achieve stardom and retain the same for a
very long time. Amongst the select few stars who have managed to
crack the code for retaining their star status, TatumO’Neal
is one name that shines the brightest.
Working
With The Big Names In The Industry
Tatum
O’Neal
started her career at the tender age of 9. Her first film got
released when she was only 10 years of age, and with her very first
movie, she became the youngest actress to have ever won the
competitive Academy Awards. There must have been no dearth of movie
offers that must have come her way after such a big achievement,
however, instead of taking on any and every offer that came her way,
she made sure that she chooses to work with only the big and talented
names in the industry. She patiently waited for the right movies and
roles to be offered to her, and accepted only those films, which she
believed in.
Doing
Television
Television
is a very strong and powerful medium. However, there are many movie
actors who feel that it is below their level and therefore, do not
want to take up work on television shows. There are times in the life
of every movie star, when the right movies and roles do not come
their way. To retain your star status, you need to stay fresh in the
minds of the public and therefore, instead of choosing to do mediocre
or bad movies, it is always a better idea to take up some good and
interesting work on television. Tatum ONeal
did exactly this. When she realized that no good movies or
interesting characters were being offered to her in movies, she very
gracefully made the switch to television. From reality shows to
hosting these shows, she stays prepared to take up any interesting
and good work that gets offered to her. Today, even after so many
years in the industry, along with doing some interesting work on
television, Tatum O’Neal still has a few good movie projects in her
kitty.
Staying
Relevant
It
is very important to change with the times. The taste of the audience
keeps changing and for a star to continue to rule the hearts of this
audience has to change his or her personality and product offerings.
Actors like Tatum
O’Neal
understand this, and therefore, they easily and gracefully made the
switch from playing lead roles in the movies to doing character
roles. These actors understand that it is not the length of the role
that matters, but the quality and depth of the role and the
performance that they put into the same.
