Working For the Stars

In Hollywood, is everyone just a free lance employee for the stars? Ultimately, films make big time money because of the stars. Sure, nice little movies with good stories can get made, etc, but those are not the engines of the film business. Those films do not justify having huge movie theaters, 10 dollar tix prices, etc. Movies get made (and make money) because of stars. Star directors are such because the movie stars want to work with them. Stud writers are so because actors want to read their lines. And I suppose stars are only stars because the audience will pack the theaters to see them...

I'm not saying anything new here, but it's weird to think of things this way...although not altogether useful for me, I suppose.
