 Answer the question - Fame   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
I used to be in the Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Young people don't want fame more these days but the cost of fame is higher and the competition is a lot more than say 30 years ago.
Girls as young as five 'knew' that they were going to be famous and had adapted that diva attitude that some stars have.

Sylvia Young is Principal of the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.
Although there are advantages to attending a theatre school at a younger age, we always recommend further training from 16, with an aim to get into drama school at 18.
Places at these schools are very limited, however; there is considerable competition and there may be serious difficulties in obtaining the financial resources to take up a place if you are offered one.

Hoult was actually injured on the set when filming the stunt as he was tied to a chair and dangling from a bridge when he was struck by the double-decker bus which was supposed to stop inches from him.

 Jessica Hooker - Aiming for an Oscar
She explains why she chose to study at such a specialist school, what she is gaining from the experience and what her ambitions are for the future.
Like any school academic work is a high priority but Jessica has had to cram all the work for the 8 GCSEs she is sitting this summer in to three days a week.
Self-confidence is obviously a prerequisite for a theatre school but there was no arrogance, just a deep determination to do the best that she possibly could through a combination of hard work, commitment and that much dreamt of lucky break.

 BBC - Parents' Music Room - Gifted Children
If they're aged 8-18, specialist schools are an option, but they're not suitable for everyone and you may want to wait until after GCSE.
For children over the age of eight, who show a serious talent for classical music, a specialist school like Chethams in Manchester, which boasts the current Young Musician of The Year among its pupils, may be a possibility.
Sylvia Young says: "I suggest they go to a class at their local drama school and try it out first, then if the child is still keen they can try full time school."

The results come on the back of a report from independent school inspectors, who visited the Sylvia Young Theatre School in August last year and found there to be a good standard of academic education, as well as good care of the students and vocational training that was excellent in a range of disciplines.
The Independent Schools Council inspection, which is fully supported by Ofsted and the Department for Education and Skills, stated that the theatre school created an atmosphere that discourages unrealistic achievement.
Of the 28 candidates at the Arts Educational School in Tring 96.4% attained similar grades, while Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts saw 79.3% of its 29 GCSE pupils do the same.

The British public had voted for the song A Message To Your Heart not necessarily because they thought it was the best, but because it was the best fit for their hopelessly out-of-date stereotype of what a Eurovision song should sound like.
Similarly, the public had voted for Samantha, not because she was the best singer, but probably because she was a beautiful young woman in a short skirt.
