11. “Fame” dared to tell the truth about making it in show business
Ostensibly a musical drama about student life at New York City's High School for Performing Arts (now named LaGuardia High School), Fame occasionally feels like ...

But you’ll probably need to modify them at some point, particularly if your dreams involve a career in the arts. We are on this planet for a very finite amount of time, with even less time to devote ourselves to dancing, music or acting.

LaGuardia High School’s alumni over the past few decades has included Adrie...
