I've read a few books with movie stars in them and they didn't bother me. I think maybe the people who rejected your mss may have gotten it wrong this time.shawnhttp://bellsouth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-80139731454208279402010-01-25T23:20:36.234-05:002010-01-25T23:20:36.234-05:00If readers don't want to read about movie star...If readers don't want to read about movie stars, explain the success of People magazine. But on another note, I wonder if you actually have to have the sport in the story. What if you turned your hero into a former athlete who fell into acting, ala Dwayne "the rock" Johnson, Terry Bradshaw, Arnold Sch, the terminating governor?Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-40808435900633890672010-01-25T21:51:41.133-05:002010-01-25T21:51:41.133-05:00I'm with D'Ann.

I get so tired of the mantra that readers won't buy it.<br />Who says?<br />SEP wrote about football players, and the fans ate it up. Why not an actor?
