Celebritette Angus Cloud, 25, supplants Pee-Wee Herman with five million hits—he’s dead, too; why don’t I know who he was?

[“When you see Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) has 2,000,000+ hits on google, it isn’t good news for him; actor dies at age 70 after battling cancer.”]

GRA: When I was in my early 20s, I knew who the old-timers were, who the young stars were (SNL cast, new actors/actresses/music stars), and my folks did too—there was no “generation gap.” NOW, I haven’t heard of 95% of the “stars” under 40—why?

“(tmz) Angus Cloud, 25, was a rising star in hollywood, and will perhaps best be remembered for his breakout role in the hit hbo series – from 2019 to 2022 he starred as Fezco, the sometimes drug dealer/guardian angel for Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman’s character, Rue Bennett. Apparent OD.”

GRA: Answer: TV is fragmented now, with hbo and netflix. If you don’t subscribe (and why would I?), much of the content and actors the public is aware of, I’M not.

Part two is—and I’ll admit I used to read the National Enquirer years ago when there WERE celebrities to read about—but in 2023, I glance at an issue in the rack, at the grocery store, they don’t write about the no-names of today, there ARE no Harrison Fords or Carrie Fishers coming up. Instead, the Enquirer continues to write about the Friends cast, Tom Cruise, DeNiro, Streisand, Trump, Biden and people who have been around for years—not Angus Cloud.

So apparently, I’d better get used to being the only one who has no clue who Angus Cloud was.

N.S.: Don’t worry, GRA. I’d never heard of him, either, until you sent me this item..
