Synopsis
In this study, a sociologist draws on thousands of New York Times obituaries to determine the criteria for fame in the United States. After researching the most prominent personalities of various professions--including law, entertainment, business, politics, and the media--he profiles at least ten of the most successful figures of each industry, highlighting the attributes that he feels helped make them famous. He also devotes chapters to people of minority groups, praising them for achieving fame despite their communities' prejudices.
