How Fame has Shifted from the 1930s to Today

This project will explore the impact that the federal theater project had on celebrity status in the 1930s. There will be exploration of the shift of technology and the impact it has on fame from the 1930s to today. While there isn't a federally funded theater project nowadays, technology allows for actors and actresses to control their own narrative that promotes their own image rather than being classified as a government employee like the actors with the federal theater project. There will be exploration of the consistent words used regarding the Federal Theater Project from the 1930s, a timeline that shows how the notable actor, Spencer Tracy, rose to stardom without the use of social media that we see nowadays. Finally, there will be a comparison of two movie posters. One movie poster comes from an early Spencer Tracy film, Boom Town, and another from the hit 2013 film, The Wolf of Wall Street.
