Because you don't refer to people whom you don't know personally, by their first names. Good Lord, these rooms are a wanna-be, stalker embarrassment. These actors are NOT your best friends. Your posts creep them out, for the most part. It's a very PWT trend.

Pop culture tradition? Ridiculous. A FEW select celebrities have been called by their first names, over the years. To apply that as a "blanket" tb68radition for all actors is incorrect. It's just tacky to do, and yes, you bet etiquette makes a difference. It is what separates the classes, I suppose. And I'll "fret" over whatever I choose, and criticize accordingly. Your last sentence makes YOU sound like a spinster Auntie Roo, by the way, and a hypocritical boob.

Excuse me while I play the grand piano, you pretentious blow-hard.
By the way, the industry standard is to refer to the actors by their last names. Yes, a few have gained one-name status. Taylor HATED "Liz," in case you didn't know it.
And, yes, I work in the industry (almost thirty years now), and I am often in the company of performers in public filming locations. They visibly cringe when people call them by their first names. And if a crew member ever dares do it, their a@@ will be out the door the same day.
These people are performers, a profession. I would never call another person by their first name, unless asked by them to do so. It's a common courtesy. What happens with actors, is that the general public wants to feel "close" to them, and they stupidly think that the way to do it, is to get rudely informal.
Speaking of Miss Manners, she wrote a wonderful essay on the absolute necessity of proper etiquette - Google THAT, and do with it what you may. -

Sorry, sweetie, above the line. Again, stating the facts, which seem to annoy you (yay!!!).
Your extended responses reveal that I am getting to you, and I love it.
Obviously, I was referring to the media and last names, and that includes current social media. In the 50s/60s, Miss (or Ms) Taylor would have worked when addressing them. On the set, we say "Mr." or "Ms" ____________.
I'll leave the honey wagons to the Teamsters. -

Let's see, those new-fangled iPhones, where I get my e-mail, I guess.
I have the day off. You are very weak, at the reverse psychology angle. You keep going, so your explanation doesn't work, and it gets longer, and more desperate each time. Let me guess, you always wanted to work in film, but didn't?
And, by the way, dear, we in the industry respond pretty damn quick to everything - nature of the business.
So, go stomp your foot, and say you're "done" with me. The other kids in the playground are waiting.
