Someone I know has a theory about why there are so few actors with "star quality." Schools and universities discovered they could make money having a theatre department and therefore they grind out mediocre performers. But that's only part of the reason.
And don't forget Mssrs. Prince and Sondheim only endured "stars." THEY wanted to be the stars. That's only part of the reason also.
Television, internet, money, time, real estate greed, etc.
