Talent Management knows all too well that we’re in an age where children aspire to be celebrities. In fact, fame has never been so sought-after – but what can we really know about its impact if we’ve never experienced it?

The team here at the talent agency has just found out about a new one-off documentary about fame and celebrity that may help,

Psychologist Pamela Stephenson is set to present ‘The Fame Report’. Due to air this April on More 4, she will examine the reality of being famous, and its psychological impact and effect on key relationships for those in the public eye.

She will interview 20 people who have attained global fame, including Oscar winner Tatum O’Neal, former Spice Girl Mel C, The Devil Wears Prada star Stanley Tucci, actors Alan Cumming and John Hurt, and Pamela’s comedian husband Billy Connolly.

As well as her own expert analysis, the interviews will allow Stephenson to present fascinating and original theories about how individuals are affected both positively and negatively by, for instance, the loss of privacy which comes from being well-known, and the effect on relationships.

Channel 4’s Commissioning Editor, Emma Cooper says of the documentary: “Pamela is uniquely well-qualified to examine fame, not only has she experienced the trappings of celebrity as an actress, comedian and star of Strictly Come Dancing, she is she is also one of very few people in the world to have researched fame’s psychological effects with academic rigour. The celebrities she interviews speak with unprecedented candour about the highs and lows such elevation can bring – providing a fascinating insight into how people experience fame.”

For anyone looking to get into the limelight, Talent Management definitely recommends a watch.
