    A lesson to learn: stop idolizing people

    • @golfhound
      @golfhound 5 месяцев назад

      Indeed! Stop idolizing these people. They are paid to ACT parts of real or imagined characters based on story books or screenplays. Bottomline, they are the same as everyone else spanning from total degenerate sociopaths to down to earth decent people and everything in between. Best to just keep these people up on screen. The more we get to know them on the inside, the more likely we are to be disappointed. There are the occasional saints like Keanu Reeves, but few and far between.

      A lesson to learn: Don't blindly believe everything you hear, as a lot of times it can be complete lies or nonsense. Hopefully, the older you get, the wiser you will be to this.
      One random video and you take all this as being the whole truth?

    • @jasong9774

      Refusing to idolize folks goes hand in hand with not taking these or other things at face value.
      It also includes not jumping to conclusions or presuming context not present as the two comments here are guilty of. As written, it is sound advise and if applied would pretty much make the video's point irrelevant.

    Years ago, I worked in downtown Seattle. One summer, Grace Slick had an art show at a downtown hotel. I went on my lunch hour. I walked into the large display room and saw a woman sitting in a rattan high backed chair reading a magazine. She looked up as I said, “You would be Grace Slick.” She looked at me and said, “Guilty.” And smiled.
    We talked about everything under the sun as I was the only person there for the whole hour. Gracious, interesting, well read, amusing and willing to talk about music, Monterey, Woodstock and just about anything.
    I’ll never forget that afternoon with my all time absolute favorite singer.

    Have an Aussie friend who was in the Vietnam War.
    Returning after being discharged from the Australian Army, he got a job as a crewman on a charter deep sea fishing boat on the Gold Coast.
    On one trip, everyone had stripped down to their shorts because of the temperature.
    One of the clients remarked about the scars on my friend's back. "Shrapnel?" He asked, my friend said yes, admitted being wounded in Nam, The man turned and partially pulled down his shorts, exposing a wicked scar on his buttock. "Got it while in the Marines, Saipan."
    The client was Lee Marvin and whenever he chartered the boat, he'd ask that my friend be on the crew.
    My friend said Marvin was a regular guy, personable and down to earth , a great story teller, especially on himself, but hated being fawned over.
    Another friend, a Navy Corpsman at the time, out drinking in Honolulu with some Marine buddies met Marvin who joined and drank with them.
    He said the same thing about how Marvin behaved.

      We saw Jerry Seinfeld once time outside on a restaurant patio. My son knew how much I liked him and, so, mentioned it to him and asked if I might meet him. Meanwhile, I was still in the car and really did not want to meet him, just seeing him was fine for me. But he asked and Seinfeld's answer was, "No, thank you," a very abrupt and rude, "No, thank you." Well, that certainly ruined my image of him. I have never been star struck, as we live in an area where "celebrity" sightings are very common. After approaching and speaking to many of them, I decided to never do it again. They are never who we think they are and are often very rude. One encounter with Pierce Brosnan really left me cold though. I saw him at a coffee shop. He had dated a friend of mine who had recently passed. I wasn't sure if he knew and, so, decided to tell him. I approached him, and he cut me off mid-sentence, just after I spoke her name, saying, "Not now." And, so, a bit shocked, I walked away, but I did kind of "get even" with him later on. It's funny, He was following me with his eyes, as if he was wanting contact before that. Then, when he got it, he was rude. Many of them react that way I noticed. So, no more approaches for any of them. Although, there have also been some good experiences, like with Ben Stein, Leslie Jordan and Ru Paul.

      @@fatman4346 It's apparent this abuse of minors in Hollywood is widespread and goes back many decades. There are rumors/stories of minors being used by actors. Corey Feldman has made claims over the years. MJ used to have "sleepovers" with boys, took them without their parents on vacation. There was the DEN scandal. Boys were at parties with adult men then given liquor and abused. I believe parents have used their children to support their lifestyle and looked the other way. Have you read how some of the victims of Weinstein were attacked? Many of the women went to meet him for an audition but they were attacked instead. ME? If I were one of those actresses I would've play along, then I would've chomp down on the mans penis and made sure I cut off a part of it. Then I would call police.

      You're extremely correct: the marked negative psychological effects of sudden ascent to intense fame on adults is becoming better studied. Even in a 'nice' person, the sequence of events is hypothesised trigger a decrease in neurochemicals such as oxycodone and an increase in hormones such as cortisol, coupled with loss of normal social contact and the ability to engage in normal activities and being surrounded instead by either sycophantic enablers or hypercritical adversaries, resulting in wild fluctuations between grandiose narcissism and crippling self doubt, anxiety, paranoia, frequent mood lability and an inability to feel pleasure (anhedonia) leading to an increase of proclivity for substance abuse and risky thrill seeking behaviour. What that all does to someone experiencing it from a very young formative age makes me think sometimes that making a child extremely famous kid a form of abuse.

    I met Elizabeth Taylor in Charleston in the 80's when she was appearing in the miniseries "North and South". I'd waited for her in the lobby of the Mills House on a tip she was staying there. I walked up to her and said "welcome to Charleston, are you enjoying your stay"? She said "I'm loving every minute, especially the fried chicken and maccaroni and cheese from Piggy Wiggly". We both laughed as I said wise choice for authentic southern food. Of all the renowned restaurants here, she chose takeout from Piggly Wiggly. She seemed very down to earth and was loving her stay in Charleston. Her eyes really are violet & I was pleased she was enjoying our city.
    Nowadays, Charleston is a mecca for the rich and famous (no thanks to Bravo TV with its ugly, ridiculous & absolutely absurd portrayal of Charleston). But now instead of just visiting, they buy $million dollar second homes; absorbing and GENTRIFYING the city. Driving locals like myself out of the city I love with absorbant NYC-type rent & housing costs.

I sang in the vocal backup group on his very popular show in the 1960s for a few seasons and was stunned at what a jerk he was. He was downright mean to Harvey Korman. I was thrilled when Harvey went across the hall to Carol Burnett’s studio (the greatest lady ever, inside and out) and he got to shine on her show. I cashed in on some good karma as well when I got to work on the Dean Martin Show for 6 years. An absolute prince. I miss you, Boss

      Bing you mention🤔🤔🤔 Weird observation when I have seen and read quite a few female costars list him as one of their, if not their favourite leading man.. child stars that worked along side him talk of how lovely he was to them and other stars such as Bob Hope, Anthony Quinn, Donald O'Connor, Louis Armstrong, Robert Wagner, etc speak highly of Bing. Funny also that approx 250 people who knew or worked with Bing were interviewed in decades of outstanding research and it was noted most of them loved him. So who didn't want to work with him???

    Evidence indicates that poor mental health is correlated with celebrity worship. Celebrities are just people. They're professional pretenders. Many (if not most) are narcissists. Some want to be worshipped. Some don't. Some are genuinely good and appreciative people. Many ....are not.
    Regardless of their respective personality traits (or flaws), none should be placed on any kind of a special pedestal; moreover, it's not thier place to tell us how to think, ...how to vote,... or how to dress, look or live. We each have a duty and responsibibilty to be ourselves and think for ourselves.

      Check!
      FIRST -- Nature as she dictates what must be (no exceptions or penalties eventually are to accrue as forms of misery not easily perceived/diagnosed)
      THEN -- human confected rules conforming as closely as intelligently possible and not the other way around, and so-especially of any-and-all originated of sick, monotheist mysticism -- the three being real killers, strutting and posing as things "wondrous." They are in-truth the opposite -- BEHOLD their wicked ways and works with unshaded eyes.

      ​@@Bingo_the_Pug Exactly. I know there are plenty of celebrities who are indeed just egotistical a-holes, but a great deal of these "x celebrity was mean to me" stories come from self-entitled fans who were probably being intolerably obnoxious. Yeah, most celebrities have a lot more money and privilege than the average person, but they are still just human. Their schedules and lifestyles are often extremely stressful; when they aren't working on a movie/show/event, they are doing interviews and promoting projects. In their rare personal time, they can't go anywhere without the threat of being accosted by someone for an autograph or selfie - that's something the average person never has to deal with. It's understandable why they would lose their cool once in a while.
      Speaking for myself, I have never, nor ever understood the need, to idolize humans. Respect and admire the positive attributes of fellow humans, but one should never idolize a human, because humans are frail, faulty creatures who will always eventually fall short of your expectations. If one must idolize something, it should be a fictional character or deity who can transcend the frailties of existent beings.

    Part of the reason why Douglas disappeared towards the end of his career, little bit after Spartacus, he was involved in a scandal where supposedly he severely beat a female fan to the point the the walls were covered in blood in his hotel room because she refused to have sex with him. They had a carrier out on a gurney because she was completely unconscious, and if I remember the story correctly he beat her so severely that her face was disfigured from the beating. I forget which studio he was signed with at the time, but they had to pay off the victim, the hospitals, law enforcement, and the papers so the story would not get out in the public. They just basically quietly shelved him and basically made him disappear. It's like he made a whole bunch of films all of a sudden, this happened and he was gone. Wasn't just Natalie Wood that he did this to, it was other woman as well.

    Not that I'm trying to defend Mickey Rooney and his famously bad behavior, but in his case I find it to be pretty unsurprising given how he and Judy Garland were used and abused by the studio system during their early careers; these two literal kids at the time were controlled by being woken up extremely early in the morning, pumped full of amphetamines to keep them going for 18+ hour shooting schedules, then dosed with sedatives to knock them out for a few hours. This was pretty much the norm for the entire run of films they did together as child actors, so it's honestly not surprising their lives went so poorly after that.

On the way home we had to wait between flights and stepped into a small restaurant. Seated at a table with four or five young men was Milton. I recognized him immediately and said softly to my friends that’s Milton B. He must have had super hearing, because he started at us with a look that was pure EVIL! Fortunately the place was not crowded and we chose a table as far away from that old man as we could get. I always thought that he was an overacting actor, anyway. Just one more Hollywood jerk. They are a dime a dozen. But some of the actors I’ve had the pleasure to meet or known were very sweet and classy. Amount these are James Garner and Bill Cobbs. In 1990 our house was used in the Hallmark Hall of fame movie “Decoration Day’. They spent a week or so at our place. I enjoyed hanging around with them. Both were very kind and sweet to us. ❤❤❤

    I’ve met Billy Bob Thornton at a Tower cd signing. Down to earth no ego pleasant to talk to. We chatted 15 mins.
    Vic Morrow with his gf in Sherman Oaks. Quiet and very polite.
    Jon Voight in a Bowling Alley very soft spoken and nice.
    Fortunate I met 3 great actors who were just themselves and friendly.

      Jack Webb a bunch of times at about every old restaurant in Sherman Oaks, had fish-n-chips with Jonathan Winters in Malibu, he actually asked if he could join me! Travolta in Palm Springs, (he's a nodder with a goofy grin too) Eric Roberts in Seattle, (pleasant enough despite the bad press) and then Julia 2 days later at Starbucks in Cathedral City. She's apparently not a morning person.

      Jon Voight is a fabulous actor. Within the last 6 months I reviewed both Midnight Cowboy and The Odessa File. Wonderful performances by Mr Voight.

    I often saw Milton Berle on TV and even though I was very young I could catch hints of his mean spirit. He never seemed warm or kind, but you could sense his arrogance and how he kind of saw everyone else as inferior to him

    My Aunt's mother was a young actress in Hollywood. She went missing, and the only clue they ever found was a note that mentioned meeting with Kirk.... and her pregnancy. He was interviewed by police, and he denied knowing her. They had just been in a movie together! Hmmmm.
