General Discussion

I had no idea about the prevalence of the stalker situation.

I was aware of the mental illness in Hollywood from the performer standpoint.

You need to be somewhat crazy to be a good actor (be able to assume other personalities, etc.)
and to love all the fame and adoration.
Plus the adoration causes more narcissism.

But I had no idea about the widespread stalker issue.

From time to time we get a glimpse when a famous star has a stalker enter the home etc.
And there is publicity about it.

I would think tertiary syphilis would not be an issue with modern medicine.
But I guess they must be mentally ill to begin with not to get treatment.

I had no idea about Shirley Temple being victimized.

Explains why some stars live outside of Hollywood.

Why do you think LA is so crazy, and NYC is more sane?
