The Time of My Life (1984)
“He was a very good football player. He tackled bad guys who would try to run past him with the ball, and when one of the bad guys would try to throw the ball to another bad guy, sometimes Thomas would pluck the ball out of the air and run in the other direction, which would make the bad guys feel bad and hang their heads.
Thomas played for a team called the Dallas Cowboys, and so did several other very good players. Some of these good players were called “stars.” There were so many stars on the... team that people watching them were reminded of the American flag and started calling the Cowboys “America’s team.” They even had stars on their helmets and their cheerleaders.
Thomas knew that he was a good player, but he wasn’t sure he was a star. He wanted to be one very much. Whenever he would look at his helmet and think of the word star, he would also think of the place in California where the famous movie actors and actresses live, and he decided to stop calling himself Thomas and call himself “Hollywood”MoreLess
