Unit 7 - The price of fame

Read this article from Time magazine, which looks at the problems of being a celebrity, focusing on the life and death of Princess Diana.

Students can read the information for homework. For the next lesson ask the class whether the article helped them understand the problems that famous people have. Do the students feel sympathetic towards famous people who have trouble with the media – or should they accept this as part of being famous?

Visit Madame Tussaud’s London home page to find out more about its wax models of the rich and famous. The site also includes links to the four other Madame Tussaud’s museums across the world.

Have your students ever seen any wax models of famous people? What did they think of them?
