Who was the first Hollywood diva (man or woman) to demand nobody look them in the eyes?

I have read in various sources in recent years that some of the biggest stars in Hollywood and the music industry insist no one look them directly in the eyes when they do public appearances. This is just one of many egotistical behaviors common in the entertainment industry. Does anyone know if this is a recent phenomenon or an old one? Any ideas about which jerk movie star or musician was the first to make this demand? I know Jennifer Lopez is notorious for this.|||dang it, u took my answer lol i was gonna say Jennifer Lopez.


and no, sorry i don't know who was the first to do this but it probably started a long time ago... like when there were silent films and black %26amp; white movies out. but i don't think u could ever figure out who was first.





but J. Lo probably does it the most... she is such a beyotch. "Jenny From the Block" my @$$ lol.





edit: Tom Cruise does it too... i remember my teacher telling me a story about when he met Tom. long story short, my teacher asked for his autograph and Tom said, "you've got to be kidding me!" and laughed in his face. he's a huge jerk too.|||this has been a long time thing, its been said years ago that madonna,for one didnt want anyone to look her in the eyes, tom cruise is for one and howie mandell wont even shake hands with someone for the fear of germs, that maybe true, but what the hell folks they are human like me and you, they all may have more money than us and think they are above us all, but face the facts they are not any better than us. they are just on a money and power trip!!!!
