The influence of movie stars as popular heroes has been a theme of academic study in America since the second half of last century. For instance, for his Ph.D. thesis in sociology, submitted to the University of Chicago in 1951, Frederick Elkin defined a popular hero as a person of prominence in the society who is the object of veneration or idolization and studied the attributes projected by 12 popular Hollywood stars of that era. These were, Betty Grable, Greer Garson, Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Rita Heyworth, Lauren Bacall, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Van Johnson, James Mason and Errol Flynn. But, critical studies of this type were late to begin on Indian movie stars. One of the pioneers was Robert J. Hardgrave Jr. who had focused on M.G. Ramachandran’s (MGR, 1917-1987) movie career, as a component of his study on the rise of the Dravidian movement (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, aka DMK party, led by C.N. Annadurai) in 1960s.

Forgetting Unwanted Memories: Active Forgetting and Implications for the Development of Psychological Disorders
Abstract
Intrusive memories are a common feature of many psychopathologies, and suppression-induced forgetting of unwanted memories appears as a critical ability to preserve mental health. In recent years, biological and cognitive studies converged in revealing that forgetting is due to active processes. Recent neurobiological studies provide evidence on the active role of main neurotransmitter systems in forgetting, suggesting that the brain actively works to suppress retrieval of unwanted memories. On the cognitive side, there is evidence that voluntary and involuntary processes (here termed “intentional” and “incidental” forgetting, respectively) contribute to active forgetting. In intentional forgetting, an inhibitory control mechanism suppresses awareness of unwanted memories at encoding or retrieval. In incidental forgetting, retrieval practice of some memories involuntarily suppresses the retrieval of other related memories. In this review we describe recent findings on deficits in active forgetting observed in psychopathologies, like post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Moreover, we report studies in
