Some years ago, Tamara Beckwith explained on a television documentary about It Girls that "working class people really have less worries. All they have to think about is getting food on the table."
Lost in Showbiz has often wondered whether the celebrity burden would be so elegantly delineated ever again.
Happily, Baroness Goldie Hawn has obliged with the most poignant of interviews in this week's Aspen Times, in which she explains how paparazzi ruined two shopping trips she made into that most chi-chi of ski destinations - "our little town", as she puts it - during a Christmas break at her ranch.
"Celebrities have always been looked upon as the lucky ones," she declares. "I think what people don't realise is that success is much more difficult to deal with than just normal life."
There's more, but Lost in Showbiz is too upset to continue today. Perhaps Monday.
