Very little actually. In one scene in "Fame", two of the students from the School of the Performing Arts go to a New York theater to see "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Well, at this theater, there is a group of amateur actors who put on a show patterned after the movie RHPS. During one scene in RHPS, one of the students got up and started dancing along with the people on stage. Afterwards, when explaining to her freind why she did it, she says something like "The audience didn't see me, they only saw the character I was playing." -- John L.
