Cynthia Shannon asked Taylor Jenkins Reid:

Do you think actors today are more or less likely to have glamorous lives when we constantly see their world via social media?

Taylor Jenkins Reid You know, I'm inclined to think that no one really has much of a glamorous life. I think it's all a mirage. I think people get richer and their lives get more convenient (i.e. limos come to pick them up, they don't have to drive.) But I think glamour has always been a lie people put forth.

Now that we see people's real lives a bit more through social media, I think the desire to perform glamour has dissipated a little. We, as consumers, are more savvy. We see through it. And we crave authenticity.
