## Why the Story Still Feels Relevant
The story of fame changing people isn't limited to Hollywood.
It happens everywhere.
Someone gets promoted at work.
Someone becomes successful.
Someone gains influence.
Someone receives recognition.
And sometimes the people around them notice changes.
Success can make a person more confident.
It can also make them more isolated.
People may stop challenging them.
They may begin receiving special treatment.
They may start believing that ordinary rules don't apply.
But fame isn't the only thing that changes relationships.
Success can expose existing problems.
If a relationship is healthy, success may strengthen it.
