The ostensible star of some films end up being overtaken by a co-star or
supporting player. Perhaps the most recent example may be DREAMGIRLS,
wherein Jennifer Hudson blew away Beyonce. Though, she could have been a one
shot wonder. Let's hope not. I believe if she works on her acting and visits
the gym (just please don't get skinny!), she'll have a long career ahead of
her.

A couple of relatively recent examples of "Falling Star/Rising Star" that
stick in my mind are:

GIRL, INTERRUPTED ('99)
Winona Ryder / Angelina Jolie
&
NED KELLY ('04)
Heath Ledger / Orlando Bloom

What are some of your examples, Present, Recent Past, Hollywood Golden Age &
the Silent Period?

Thanks...Curtin/Dobbs
