[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 423576, member: 1246"] Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be "in the limelight"? A: Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and stage lighting by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, performers on stage "in the limelight" were seen by the audience to be the center of attention. [/QUOTE]
