That depends on which era is considered.

SO, DID "PROJECT CELEBRITY" WORK?
That depends on which era is considered.
First 20 years (1955-1975): (see PART 1)
Next 25 years (1975-2000): The Golden Age of Miraculously Messianic Moviestars! Finally, in the endlessly arid & desolate desert, a blessed small sprinkling of recognizable "A" list entertainers (Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, Leah Remini, Jenna Elfman, Jason Lee & Danny Masterson). Now that the cult's celebrity gimmick gained traction and wogs at least paused to wondered for a moment "Why would a mega-rich, mega-famous, mega-successful moviestar join a mega-creepy cult?" That's just the com lag that Scientology was praying for! They immediately jumped in, doubled down and went "all in to cash in" (in technical parlance "apeshit") to bet the house on Cruise and Travolta. That became Scientology's "senior policy". Cruise suddenly became "the most dedicated Scientologist in the World!" And celebs became shill-ebrities!
That's the point when Scientology hit critical mass and reached the point of no return. Because OT celebs where then briefed in so many ways on Hubbard's original 1955 Project Celebrity. That's when modern day celebs were turned into FSMs. Field Staff Members. And their new mandate (equally important as continuing to reap box-office fame and fortune and donating mega-millions to the cult) was to disseminate Scientology to both WOGS and to SCIENTOLOGISTS alike. Movie and tv actors were ordered to donate both their acting skills and their celebrity cachet to the task of reading propaganda scripts.
Ergo, every popular cult celebrity attained the state of KSW (Kamikaze Scientology Weirdos). Tom Cruise face-ripping Matt Lauer on national TV or delivering crazy-speak planet-saving jibberish whilst proudly wearing his a jumbo sector-salvaging medallion. Professional suicide. Jenna Elfman--standing on a major thoroughfare in Los Angeles maniacally screaming "Have you raped babies?!!" at someone with a t-shirt critical of Scientology. Professional suicide for actors and professional suicide for the cult as well--to bet the farm on dopey credulous marks, just because they are well known actors. That's why Steve Jobs did not bet the entire future of Apple on having their computers endorsed by famous entertainment luminaries like O.J. Simpson, Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein.
SUMMARY (1975-2000). The celeb gimmick worked and served a purpose--for a limited time. The cult acquired billions in real estate and cash. However their public relations image had an "equal and opposite reaction" to the soaring "hoarded cash" graphs. The Hollywood bloom was off the rose and the now facing the dire consequences of having adopted the strategy of "Live by the sword celebrity, die by the sword celebrity!" The celebs then, one by one, began their ESCAPE ROUTING FORMS, and Scientology has since been powerless, hard as they try, to recruit new "A" listers. Why is that? More details in Part 3, ahead.
