Was also the case in Victorian england iirc, wasn't until the last 100-ish years they had much respect at all.
It only changed with the introduction of movies and television, resulting in actors' names becoming famous nation-wide and worldwide. They were little more than low-bro entertainers, before they were able to reach a far wider audience.
