idolization
- n the act of admiring strongly
- n the act of worshiping blindly and to excess
- In general, I find this idolization of the dead revolting in its implication that the famous are perfect and only the perfect deserve to be mourned intensely.
- But this intensely private man was never quite comfortable with the idolization thrust upon him, and did not conform to the image of hero the public sought.
- Show business is about idolization.
