It's not what you know but whom you know. That's true in any business - especially in show business.

If entertainment is your labor of love then read on. Good looks, talent, smarts and luck will take you so far, but you'll need some help to make your own break in Tinsel Town.

Okay, okay - enough elephant manure. Frankly, I've got to confess that I simply don't understand how stars are born. Don't have a clue. Everyone seems to have a different story. Lana Turner was discovered in a soda fountain, Jerry Seinfeld spent years working in comedy cellars and Tina Turner had to be beaten to a pulp by her ex before she became an overnight sensation. Go figure.

For the non-stars (and there are many 1,000s working happily behind the scenes) - the script assistants, sound editors, set designers and key grips - there are a few tried and true ways to make the magic happen:

Start with an internship and work your way up
Find a mentor who believes you have what it takes
Network like crazy
All of the above
