"As to Denis Johnston's earlier argument about whether anyone is likely to
look up a famous stage manager, I think an equally compelling argument can
be made the other way around. Since the format of history dictates its
function, no one is likely to look up a "famous" stage manager as long as
all our theatre histories implicitly communicate that stage managers
are not even significant, much less famous."

Now this argument (as it also could be said of women, Gays and Lesbians,
and people of colour) is a good one. Still, it comes back to the question
of recorded acheivement...How do I track these people? How do I decide who
did a good job or not? That is, to a certain extent (and especially with
the internet and online newspapers) easy to track for the other groups.
