Amid these stories, a recurring theme emerges about Hollywood’s distinctive social environment. There's a long-standing debate about whether celebrities—especially those involved in long-standing TV series or behind-the-scenes roles—are "blue-collar" by Hollywood standards. Many TV actors, who work consistently but aren’t top-tier movie stars, tend to have more stable relationships, often lasting years or decades.

The conversation about "blue-collar Hollywood" suggests that less fame equates to fewer tumultuous breakups and high-profile scandals. It’s pointed out that many behind-the-scenes workers, such as set designers or makeup artists, function in this blue-collar niche within the entertainment industry—though Hollywood as a whole often perceives itself as a high-status bubble.
