Textbook JAFAAC. Yes, Sunset Boulevard is a good example and would probably make for a great page quote or three, but that's not visible from the image.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Also, what the hell is with the name? I know what a White Dwarf is but what does the Starlet?

The image sucks anyhow and can be thrown into a star.

It does show a somewhat older female star. It shows more arrogance than has-been, though. At any rate, I don't think it hurts the page.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Picture kind of works. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

This isn't JAFAAC, even if it is weak. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

And Spark, you really need to start making suggestions when you start an IP thread, instead of just saying "I think this picture is bad, and somebody else needs to find a better one."

Septimus: The name is a pun. A portmanteau of "White dwarf star" and "starlet"

That is, a starlet who has faded from glory, without so much as a spectacular breakdown or sudden tragedy.

I have a message from another time...

Looking through the examples, I don't see how it'd be possible to show this trope without multiple images. There aren't even any comic book or web comic examples to help demonstrate it through dialogue. The current image doesn't hurt the trope. I've never even seen that movie, yet the first time I saw it, it immediately reminded me of all the parodies I've seen in films and western animation over the years that I instantly understood the trope.

[up] What he said. It's not actively harming the page, so without a valid replacement suggestion, its good enough to stay put.

One or two more keep or Keep Until Better Image Suggested votes and we can start wrapping this up.
