Agree 100%, @toowonderful. I also think they have doppelgängers out there who are working as doctors and teachers and who knows what else. Not everyone who could have success in this field even tries. And I think there are struggling artists out there who may even have more talent/charisma/etc. than Kelli or Audra. The fame game is tricky. And I LOVED your answer, @KatMT. “Making it” should be defined as leading a fulfilling and productive and generous life, no matter what twists and turns and life events change things along the way. I hope that my alma mater is still proud of me even though I am not at ALL doing what I told them I wanted to do when I was 17.
