Okay, seems no one is really interested enough to make a solid attempt to answer the mystery question?
Okay, but forget the 10 points because you've had your chances, and then some.
Marilyn Monroe; Elvis; and Michael Franzese all, have something in common.
And without this "thing in common," neither one of the three would have been as successful as they became to be.
And how much more successful could MM and E. become?
They couldn't have, because those two maxed out at the highest peak, possible.
No doubt, Franzese, is too talented and would have, well, it's only a maybe with him, been as famous and as influential as he is today? Good guess and I say, yes, he probably would have, but this thing in common with those two icon's above, made his road he traveled much easier, no doubt about that.
MM: No way does she become the Rock-Star she did, without this mystery thing.
Elvis: The same with Elvis. His road to fame shy-rocked much faster, because of this same reason the, the two above shared.
Notice; Franzese is still alive and the other two icons are not.
