A Quote by Lana Turner

Fame is one thing, notoriety is another. — © Lana Turner
Fame is one thing, notoriety is another.
I don't ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, 'The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.' The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy.
Fame, at one time, was associated with accomplishment, but in this day and age fame and notoriety have become confused.
Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.
Fame nowadays is little else but notoriety.
Notoriety wasn't as good as fame, but was heaps better than obscurity.
You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.
Men often mistake notoriety for fame, and would rather be remarked for their vices and follies than not be noticed at all!
This year, notoriety got confused with fame, and the devil is down hearted because there is nothing left for him to claim.
I've always had this impression that notoriety came when you're trying to get notoriety.
Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind.
Do not confuse notoriety and fame with greatness. . . . For you see, greatness is a measure of one's spirit, not a result of one's rank in human affairs.
NOTORIETY, n. The fame of one's competitor for public honors. The kind of renown most accessible and acceptable to mediocrity. A Jacob's-ladder leading to the vaudeville stage, with angels ascending and descending.
It is not without reason that fame is awarded only after death. The cloud-dust of notoriety which follows and envelops the men who drive with the wind bewilders contemporary judgment.
To be inducted into the Hall of Fame is a huge honor for any one person in this industry. It not only gives you credibility as the mark you made in the pages of history to the fans, but notoriety for the path you paved for everyone who followed in your footsteps.
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but "what are you going to do now?" is the only thing that matters.
I think that, occasionally, fame and popularity can garner more attention for individuals or films. But as a person who believes in my craft, I like the romantic notion that skill and hard work is more important than notoriety.
