Why aren't they starlets?

I write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.

I was just wondering, why many of the more attractive women whom I meet at strip clubs aren't trying to make their millions in an industry that would feel (to them) less "demeaning."
I think a LOT of the girls who are stripping could be successful as models, movie starlets, or even as lead actors in major motion pictures. I suspect that a lot of the strippers that you meet in Los Angeles are such "slashers" -- waiter - slash - actor, bartender - slash - screenwriter, stripper - slash - auditioning-to-be-a-starlet. But I've never been to California, and yet I meet women who have the visual quality to "make it." I wonder why they aren't trying?
Is it just that they aren't getting the cash that they get from stripping, by waiting around to be photographed by beginner photographers in Memphis or Birmingham? Is it simply that they are not as attractive as I think they are? I disagree wtih that assessment. I know, there are plenty of women who just aren't that physically appealing but who still strip. But what about the really young "perfect" looking ones? Don't they have as much visual appeal as Jennifer Aniston (who is actually an average-looking person with a great stylist) or as another typical Hollywood denizen?
I wonder what the reasons are. Maybe they just haven't tried yet. Maybe "making it" in the glamour industries takes something other than appearance. Maybe I'm screwed up about their appearance. I'd like to know, because I'm sure there's some bridge over to the "success" world that I haven't figured out, yet, not only for the girls but also for myself.
I frankly don't believe that it takes "dedication, hard work, perseverance" to make it in Hollywood. Most stars got there the good old fashioned way, by hitting it big after several misses. In the meantime they were just swinging away at auditions. That's not hard work, that's easy work. And the more you do it, the easier it gets.
