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?
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.
The only celebrity I ever met was Brian Dennehy . I was coming back home from Toronto and stopped at a McDonalds just outside London Ontario . He was having lunch with who I assumed was his daughter and her 2 kid's so I walked up and said are you Brian Dennehy , and he said yes I am and seemed willing to give an autograph but they don't interest me so I just said have a good day and placed my order.
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.
Polanski was not that bad until the murder of Karen Tate. Then he went off the deep end. Murder of your love and unborn child by a group of drug invested hippies usually have negative impacts on most people.

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.
Mila kunis bought me and a few army buddies drinks when she saw our dog tags at the pool bar in hawaii, she was exactly how you would want a famous person to be for sure class act
I was fortunate enough to be able to speak with him for a while when our plane bound for Chicago was forced to land in De Moines Iowa. A tornado had destroyed a hangar in St Louis and it was 18 hours before we were able to get to Indianapolis then on to Chicago. He was just a regular guy. I almost forgot how famous this man is. He's been through so much in his life but, you just wouldn't know he's one of the most famous musicians of all time. ❤😊
Natalie Woods mother drove her to the hotel for an "audition " There aren't any auditions in a hotel room. Her mother told her not to say anything. Her sister confirmed this. What mother would do this!
I do believe many naive starlets have done this from reading about what Weinstein/Cosby did. I think this happens more often that we know of. Parents allowed their little boys to go on sleepovers or vacation with Michael Jackson.. There was (The DEN) 90s scandal. Boys attending adult parties with men then plied with liquor. smh
Yea i always think about this.what mother drops her daughter off for an "audition"with a lone male actor in a hotel room? Obviously the mother just used her kid for her own sad means .i used to laugh at douglas in the movje tough guys but its hard to watch any of his old movjes now knowing he was a rapist
@@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. That would be a story heard the world over. Likely would've been no more victims after that.
Johhny Cash was always humble and willing to chat and hear your stories, give an autograph, etc. I met him three times and i was just in awe each time. Henry Winkler is also one of the kindest human beings youll ever meet. He makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world. Gordon Lightfoot kindly chatted with me at length as well. Very nice guy.
My late husband, Rhodes Reason, was cast as the Bearded Gaul" in Spartacus. When Rhodes met Kirk, he was friendly. Behind the scenes, Kirk had Rhodes' character cut from the movie. Why? Rhodes was 6'2" and towered over Kirk. Kirk did not like that and had him axed!

I’m sorry, but Orson Wells thinking some people are bad actors and being willing to say so, even if it was scathing, was not enough to qualify him to be on a list of the most evil people ever in Hollywood. There must have been somebody else you could have picked.
Yes, to me his assessments seemed proven and accurate, not hateful or petty! And remember, when others said Marilyn Monroe was a one-trick pony he saw her as a true super star and he was right.
Yeah, you're right.... if you don't factor in Orson's almost pathological willingness to sabotage his own career. In other words, maybe the pot calling the kettle black much? It probably is more "Hollywood's Biggest Hypocrite" than "Most Evil", but hypocrisy is an evil....
This is about a present day actress.... My mother worked for Zcoil shoe company several years back. She was on the phone assisting a customer, the woman bought several pairs of shoes and she was so kind and sweet. She told my mother her name and that shes an actress, my mother apologized,saying shes not familiar with her work. The actress went on to share several of her films. And when their conversation ended she thanked my Mother for being nice to her and that she hoped to talk with her again. The woman is Helena Bonham Carter My mother was so taken with how kind and sweet she is.
Not all actors. Fans have said that Brad Pitt is a very chill laid back guy. Hugh Jackman is very approachable & friendly. Robin Williams was awesome to be around when he was still with us.
These folks were then what they call “influencers” today. Total controlled programming instruments, to deliver whatever message or cultural creation is desired by the controller.

While some of these stories are no doubt true when looked into by neutral parties, the majority turn out to be overblown or malicious envy.

I met Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood) in the Atlanta airport on the way home from a turkey hunting trip while he was playing Hershel on The Walking Dead. Nicest guy you'd ever meet. We got selfies and hung out with him and his wife while waiting for the plane. When we arrived at the destination airport, he couldn't figure out how to get the trunk of his rental car open, so we helped him get it open and get his luggage loaded up. He kept in touch with me over the years until his death.
I accidentally ran into Tommy Lee Jones in San Antonio in the 90s. I didn't talk to him because I have a life and was busy. I happened upon him at a popular cafe. I was getting my coffee and looked his way. Apparently, that's not something you should do. He said " don't look at me" i told him he was overrated and left.
J Lo is another one that forbids people to look at her. Disgusting behavior. We can look at whoever we want. If they don't want to be looked at, they should stay in the house by themselves.
I demonstrated an 18th century process to Kirk Douglas in colonial Williamsburg back in the early 80's. He was still to date, the rudest person I've ever met. He stood there talking to his "people" the whole time I talked. He never once looked at me and proceeded to walk off without a word. I had done the demonstration to many famous people and met some wonderful people who were so gracious and down to earth. But him?!?! Then I was told by a staff member that if you aren't blond he won't give you the time of day. What a f-in jerk!

@@americangirl4410 I spoke with someone whose father worked in a hotel. Her father had to deal with Michael Douglas, and she said that guy was horrible! Also, I have heard the Hollywood crowd used to call him the Hollywood rapist. Supposedly he raped Jean Seberg too. Doris Day was known to be one of the nicest people, but she did not like working with Krik Douglus. Somone said on a website I forgot, which one, and I believe the person for various reasons, said he knew Kirk Dougles's sons. The guy said the one son, who it was reported in the media causing trouble on an airplane, got kicked off the plane he was extremely messed up. He was gay, and the father, Kirk Douglas, was pissed off so he sent his son to a mental asylum, which messed his son up. When Micheal Douglas was a little boy, his father took him to a brothel to have sex with prostitutes. Kirk Douglas's mother was from the Johnson and Johnson family who are completely screwed up.
Liam Neeson is a very nice person. He worked in my hometown on a film with Patrick Swazey. Liam came about three months early and made friends with everyone he met. Patrick came to town last minute, refused autographs to children, acted like a real jerk.
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.

The sister of Natalie Wood released her biography after the death of Kirk Douglas in which Wood alleges Douglas raped her. Wood had confessed this to her sister soon after it happened but swore her not to reveal it until after Douglas died. This adds credibility to Wood's account.
@@steveb1164 Let's see...Natalie is dead. Their mother is dead. Kirk Douglas is dead. Nobody but Lana is supposedly there to be a "witness." Lana has always had problems when it came to her sister, and it all stemmed from envy.
What "credibility"? Credibility would have been to present the allegations when Douglas was ALIVE. But Lana didn't want to be sued out of existence, so she did the cowardly thing and waited until he died.
Do we have any confirmation from Robert Wagner that Natalie actually went through this? Oh, that's right. According to many, he was responsible for his wife's death by drowning.
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. Celebrities can visit our wonderful city & not be bothered by people or paparazzi...and then please go back home!! We're full up!!
When I was 18 months old and my sister a little over 4, my mother was leaving Macy's in NYC and ran my baby carriage into Elizabeth Taylor who was entering. My mother said she had the bluest eyes she'd ever seen. My mother apologized profusely and asked if she was OK. 'Yes I'm OK. Is this your lovely daughter?' 'It's Marty--she's 4 years old.' Elizabeth told Marty she was a pretty little girl. 'This is a young boy in your carriage?' 'That's my son Tom, he's 18 months old. Elizabeth caressed me and told my mother what a handsome young boy I was. Ms. Taylor couldn't have been more gracious. I have no memory but my mother would bring that up on occasion how pleasant and courteous Elizabeth was.
Elizabeth Taylor had developed a taste for okra, and would have one particular restaurant overnight mail orders to her in Los Angeles when she got a hankering. She was a beautiful woman, and I hate to hear that Hollywood didn’t treat her too well until after the studio system was dismantled and she was able to command respect that she was due.

I read about that Natalie Wood story a few years ago, along with other examples of his behavior. Sounds like he was a horrible guy. I don't know if I'd characterize any of these other actors as "evil" except maybe Kirk Douglas.
I read the story about Douglas and Natalie over 20 years ago written by her sister who said she would write a book about it after Douglas died. Who knew it would take him so long to die. I read at the time that she was 17 yrs old and he should have gone to jail for what he did to her.
It was all a lie. Still waiting for Lana Wood to write about it. Just a vicious rumor... the video stated that Natalie Wood was 15, which would be in 1953. And nobody ever knew about it for over 30 years? Yeah... right.

I can see Rooney as a jerk. Married 8 times only shows his pathetic character. So many of these stars and their flawed personalities and reprehensible behavior just seems so ridiculously unnecessary
It was known in Hollywood that Rooney would set up fake casting calls for young actresses, only to require them to have sex with him for a role in an upcoming movie. Many did, only to find out later the movie never existed.
My father was a musician in Hollywood, and he was involved in a production with Danny Kaye. He was surprised to discover that Kaye was the most rude and discourteous person he ever met.
Jerry Lewis was a well known jerk. Danny Kaye, Bob hope, Robert Cummings, Bing Crosby, gene Kelly, Chevy Chase, Will Ferrell…so many.. most of these types find that their roles dry up as people don’t want to work with them.
Thank you for mentioning Danny Kaye, who belongs at the top of the list. 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. In the words of Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
Well said, one certainly can't generalize from this and being a creep must make for an awfully lonely life in the end. I was surprised to learn about what a jerk Kirk Douglas was, especially given how old he lived.
I was taking the scenic drive on H2 or H3 in Hawaii so I stopped to check out the view. There was another car already there. The elderly gentleman was looking out and seemed to be thinking. I said boy that’s a nice view, and he turned and said “Yes, it is”. I recognized him immediately. It was Donald Sutherland. I smiled and he did too and I got back in my car and drove off. I would never have thought to bother him for an autograph or anything like that.
Douglas. Oh my. He gave everyone a hard time. He gave money to the police, everybody, to keep himself out of trouble. He used women. Sinatra too. These guys wouldn’t last long in this era where some women step forward.
Yes, Sinatra should be number one on this list. Yet they make this man out throughout the years, even today, like the man should be made into a saint. Most people in Hollywood were terrified of him because he was connected with the mafia, and he threw his weight around Hollywood. He had the ability to make and break careers. Starlets had to have sex with him, or their careers were ruined.
Most often with we humans it is sexual dysfunction that leads a downward plunge. As one famous researcher of this area once styled it: "The sexual misery of Mankind." 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. (Conversely the polytheisms generally describe Nature; thus being not antagonistic to it.)

I think that the line uttered by Shirley Maclaine, in the movie "Bewitched", is more on the money than most people realize when she said (about actors) "... deep down, there is no deep down." I believe that a person's ability to become different characters requires the lack of one's own character. Combine that with the influence of Hollywood, and you usually end up with a less than stellar type of person.

@@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.

I used to love Kirk Douglas until I found out what he did to a very young Natralie wood (16 or 17 I think ) when she was a wide eyed innocent in Hollywood at the beginning of her career . After that ...I can't even watch the guy on screen anymore .
Same here! Why nobody spoke about that? They even honoured him. Lana Wood, Natalie's sister said that she would say who raped her once he'd passed away. Yet...
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.
A few years back, by chance, I was seated next to Jerry West - no one in the middle seat. Was a late night flight - little over an hour. What a warm, friendly and gracious Gentleman.

Trust me, I listened smiling - he talked. I didn't want to break the magic. Flight landed and we headed in different directions. Will never forget his kindness. WOW Superstar all the way.
I thought he was a complete idiot: not funny in any way with an awful voice! How Dean Martin tolerated him for so long is incredulous. By all accounts a thoroughly nasty character!
I watched a 60 minutes segment about 30 years ago, where they followed Jerry Lewis around, as he spoke about his work with Jerry’s Kids. It was suppose to be a behind the scenes look into his life. He was soooo rude to his staff. Belittling them, swearing & yelling. He was so nasty, I was gobsmacked. Use to be a fan of his old movies with Dean Martin. After seeing that, can’t stand him.
@@nes123ification Must admit didn’t like him in the films with Dean Martin : he was an albatross around his neck imho! When he went solo he proved what a good actor he was! I just felt that Lewis was a more sub ‘Tiswas’ standard in his attempted comedy ! To me he didn’t possess any talent at all!

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.
Under aged relationships? Hmmm. That sounds like; WOODY ALLEN. LUC BESON. KOBE BRYANT. CHARLIE CHAPLIN. DANE COOK. JERRY LEE LEWIS. MICHAEL JACKSON. DON JOHNSON. R KELLY. ROMAN POLANSKY. ELVIS PRESLEY. MARK SALLING. JERRY SEINFELD. DONALD TRUMP SR. TYGA. WILMER VALDERRAMA. PAUL WALKER.
Mickey Roonie had a terrible crush on my Mother, she sang with the sons of the pioneers, he used visiting my Grandparents as an excuse to see her. My Mom and Dad were happily married and stay that way till death.
A lot of these people aren't more than rude. It's awful to me that Welles' private conversation with someone that included frank opinions and observations of others in Hollywood should be made public, for example. That doesn't make him evil. 😢😮
True. And his opinion of Davis was just incorrect. She might’ve been out of control, but look at OF HUMAN BONDAGE. It’s got all of the “truth” and violence of later post WWII performances from Actors’ Studio slobs. And she did it without the mind-control Zionist hoo-hah cult.

My mother attended a party where Liz Taylor was invited. She brought her then husband, Larry Fortensky, along and they proceeded to be rude and ill mannered towards many guests there. They were totally disrespectful towards the host too. What a freaking diva. I really don’t understand it. If you don’t want to attend the event/party, why showed up and acted like jerks.
Okay, showing off: I briefly shadowboxed with The Greatest at Phoenix airport. Ali couldn't speak by that point, but could still walk slowly. As soon as i saw him, my eyes filled with tears. I mean, this is a global icon! I walked closer and waved. He smiled and beckoned me, so I closed the distance. Then, he put up his dukes. I almost fainted with euphoria. He was grinning ear to ear. We engaged some air-jabs and, man, that is ALI! I literally shadowboxed with The Greatest That Ever Lived! Also, he was right: He's too pretty! 😂
@@bryanelam7431 I tell ya, he couldn't speak, but those eyes still sparkled, and they and that knowing smile spoke loud enough for me. He loved his fans.

Yes, Uncle Milton made the list. Decades ago, my husband and I were flying back home from one of many ski trips out west with another couple who were our best friends. 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. ❤❤❤
Wasn't Milton Berle bisexual? I Thought I heard that. That might have explained, why he was with 5 young guys. Maybe he didn't want to be recognized? I have heard Kathy Lee Gifford did not like him, and when brought up, she didn't want to talk about it.
Would that be the famous Wilbur Cobb who influenced Stimpy to make his epic cartoon before the feds took him away. I'm sorry the crab ran away with his ear.

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.
@@13thBeatleJr Righteous anger? So says another lefty who besmirches a proud American with real values. In this case, doesn't make you a bad guy, just bad politics.
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.
A lesson to learn: stop idolizing people
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 be learned. Stop believing 💩you read on the internet !
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?
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.

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.
The wound happened in June 1944, and Lee spent the next year hospitalized because of it.

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.
People never see the other side of them wehen they make it big($)

Natalie Woods mother drove her to the hotel for an "audition " There aren't any auditions in a hotel room. Her mother told her not to say anything. Her sister confirmed this. What mother would do this!
I do believe many naive starlets have done this from reading about what Weinstein/Cosby did. I think this happens more often that we know of. Parents allowed their little boys to go on sleepovers or vacation with Michael Jackson.. There was (The DEN) 90s scandal. Boys attending adult parties with men then plied with liquor. smh
Her mother would and did.She told her young disheveled daughter if you complain you will never work in hollywood.Kirk Douglas ring a bell
Her sister confirmed that Natalie said she was raped by Douglas, and yes, that her mother told her to 'suck it up', so it wouldn't hurt her career.
Yea i always think about this.what mother drops her daughter off for an "audition"with a lone male actor in a hotel room? Obviously the mother just used her kid for her own sad means .i used to laugh at douglas in the movje tough guys but its hard to watch any of his old movjes now knowing he was a rapist
@@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. That would be a story heard the world over. Likely would've been no more victims after that.
Johhny Cash was always humble and willing to chat and hear your stories, give an autograph, etc. I met him three times and i was just in awe each time.

I’m sorry, but Orson Wells thinking some people are bad actors and being willing to say so, even if it was scathing, was not enough to qualify him to be on a list of the most evil people ever in Hollywood. There must have been somebody else you could have picked.
Yes, to me his assessments seemed proven and accurate, not hateful or petty! And remember, when others said Marilyn Monroe was a one-trick pony he saw her as a true super star and he was right.
Yeah, you're right.... if you don't factor in Orson's almost pathological willingness to sabotage his own career. In other words, maybe the pot calling the kettle black much? It probably is more "Hollywood's Biggest Hypocrite" than "Most Evil", but hypocrisy is an evil....

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.

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. Celebrities can visit our wonderful city & not be bothered by people or paparazzi...and then please go back home!! We're full up!!
When I was 18 months old and my sister a little over 4, my mother was leaving Macy's in NYC and ran my baby carriage into Elizabeth Taylor who was entering. My mother said she had the bluest eyes she'd ever seen. My mother apologized profusely and asked if she was OK. 'Yes I'm OK. Is this your lovely daughter?' 'It's Marty--she's 4 years old.' Elizabeth told Marty she was a pretty little girl. 'This is a young boy in your carriage?' 'That's my son Tom, he's 18 months old. Elizabeth caressed me and told my mother what a handsome young boy I was.
Ms. Taylor couldn't have been more gracious. I have no memory but my mother would bring that up on occasion how pleasant and courteous Elizabeth was.
Ms Taylor was in Rehab 1990s...Larry Fortensky..
I wrote her a Note..Her staff sent me a Form Thank You Note...classy..
Elizabeth Taylor had developed a taste for okra, and would have one particular restaurant overnight mail orders to her in Los Angeles when she got a hankering. She was a beautiful woman, and I hate to hear that Hollywood didn’t treat her too well until after the studio system was dismantled and she was able to command respect that she was due.
Nobody ever says a bad word about her, because she was a good person inside & out.

It was all a lie. Still waiting for Lana Wood to write about it. Just a vicious rumor... the video stated that Natalie Wood was 15, which would be in 1953. And nobody ever knew about it for over 30 years? Yeah... right.

I can see Rooney as a jerk. Married 8 times only shows his pathetic character. So many of these stars and their flawed personalities and reprehensible behavior just seems so ridiculously unnecessary
It was known in Hollywood that Rooney would set up fake casting calls for young actresses, only to require them to have sex with him for a role in an upcoming movie. Many did, only to find out later the movie never existed.
...and he supposedly prefered them "young", if you get what I mean.
Im guessing he had a little Napolean syndrome!

Rooney was a little man. They all have the same issue, a chip on both shoulders because they are short!... "Little man syndrome".
My father was a musician in Hollywood, and he was involved in a production with Danny Kaye. He was surprised to discover that Kaye was the most rude and discourteous person he ever met.

Thank you for mentioning Danny Kaye, who belongs at the top of the list. 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.
In the words of Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

Yes, Sinatra should be number one on this list. Yet they make this man out throughout the years, even today, like the man should be made into a saint. Most people in Hollywood were terrified of him because he was connected with the mafia, and he threw his weight around Hollywood. He had the ability to make and break careers. Starlets had to have sex with him, or their careers were ruined.
They thought they were kings and legends above reproach. Now, hardly anyone knows who they were or cares, just dust in the wind.

Now we understand why Peter and Jane Fonda are such train wrecks.
Most often with we humans it is sexual dysfunction that leads a downward plunge.
As one famous researcher of this area once styled it: "The sexual misery of Mankind."
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.
(Conversely the polytheisms generally describe Nature; thus being not antagonistic to it.)
Peter's not bad at all, he came and visited my mom when I was about 14-I wasn't at home, i flipped out when she showed me the photo of him on our living room couch.
She would throw things at the tv if she saw Jane, though-I remember having to go buy a new tv set when she put a can opener through the screen. That's when I found out she was my cousin.
Peter is dead and Jane is far from a train wreck. She admits her dad made things especially the way he treated their mother.

@@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.

She was only 15. He was a pig.
Kirk explains in his book that he could get all the women in the world, as when he travelled to Israel.
Same here! Why nobody spoke about that? They even honoured him. Lana Wood, Natalie's sister said that she would say who raped her once he'd passed away. Yet...
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.

Okay, showing off: I briefly shadowboxed with The Greatest at Phoenix airport. Ali couldn't speak by that point, but could still walk slowly. As soon as i saw him, my eyes filled with tears. I mean, this is a global icon! I walked closer and waved. He smiled and beckoned me, so I closed the distance. Then, he put up his dukes. I almost fainted with euphoria. He was grinning ear to ear. We engaged some air-jabs and, man, that is ALI! I literally shadowboxed with The Greatest That Ever Lived! Also, he was right: He's too pretty! 😂
I'm glad I read your post & I believe it completely!! He was the greatest in far more than just boxing!!
@@bryanelam7431 I tell ya, he couldn't speak, but those eyes still sparkled, and they and that knowing smile spoke loud enough for me. He loved his fans.
I live in Louisville, and he is the greatest! When he is in town, is fantastic. His brother, Rahaman, is also such a kind man. And like his big brother- too pretty! 🦋🐝
@@cricketb9665 😆 Somehow, that doesn't surprise me!
I live in Tokyo Japan. I got to see Ali, the Greatest, just after his big fight there. It was a wonderful moment!
Yes, Uncle Milton made the list. Decades ago, my husband and I were flying back home from one of many ski trips out west with another couple who were our best friends. 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. ❤❤❤
Wasn't Milton Berle bisexual? I Thought I heard that. That might have explained, why he was with 5 young guys. Maybe he didn't want to be recognized? I have heard Kathy Lee Gifford did not like him, and when brought up, she didn't want to talk about it.
@@fabergeegg1722 Maybe. He did wear dresses in comedy skits.
Would that be the famous Wilbur Cobb who influenced Stimpy to make his epic cartoon before the feds took him away. I'm sorry the crab ran away with his ear.
Today.. people like Jlo are phony and not nice. A person who I knew was an extra in her movie..never said hi to the extras.and was all about her.

So did Rudy Giuliani.
You’ll NEVER see my favorite actor, Jimmy Stewart, on one of these lists!
He was a well known Racist. So he was no angel by any means
@@thermanuelrivera1009 Raaaaacist, such a cliched, lame and overused accusation, bet it's your go to alot to vilify or try and obtain the moral high ground or shut down any rebuttal.
Neither Gary Cooper. My hero with James Stewart.
Got that right?
Right!
My grandma referred to Milton Berle as filthy and I left out the rest of it.
They say he was the most endowed
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.
@@jimhenderson9173 I don’t like his politics. I wouldn’t have approached him today because of his righteous anger but 30 years ago he was mellow.
@@13thBeatleJr Righteous anger? So says another lefty who besmirches a proud American with real values. In this case, doesn't make you a bad guy, just bad politics.
@@jimhenderson9173 look in the mirror when you espouse your anger at someone 3 fingers are pointing back to you.
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 grandma hated him. Said he was filthy and I left out the extra words.
Well, it's a jewish thing.
Kirk was convincing as a rapist in the movie - In Harms Way.
It was in his nature by accounts on here.
and as an honest colonel in Paths of glory.
He wasn't acting.
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.
How utterly appalling!!!
Studio Magic...?
RIP, Jean Spangler
@@blondimobile1 Absolutely shameful!!!!
I have no doubt he is currently receiving his just reward in Hell.
I think most of the Hollywood actors didn't really have a true personality because they were always acting to keep their personnas!!!
Suffering from "identity crisis." 😮
@@robertdesantis6205 You're absolutely right,bro!!!
Cary Grant did LSD trips and saw a psychoanalyst because he had to live his character 24/7 and didn't know who he was
It only a matter of time before most actors get really GOOFY & STRANGE!!! HOLLYWEIRD!!!
@@pbohearn The LSD was a big part of why Diane Cannon divorced him.
