Apparently another story was in the works for some time
http://www.msn.com/...r-AAtgoOX?li=BBnb7Kz Between this and Cosby it is almost as if powerful men in Hollywood have long taken advantage of young actresses and no one would call them on it out of fear of retaliation.
If only they had the good sense to never be alone with a woman they wouldn't be subject to these made up allegations.
What part of this is supposed to be in pink, my friend? ;-)
I don't do pink font. Only shirts. But all of it other than the story.
Any thought that this was just a couple people with an axe to grind is long gone. More and more name actresses are coming out.
You wish stories like this would be rare instances. But much like doping in cycling, I think they may well be the rule rather than the exception in these kind of situations.
Definitely the rule rather than the exception. But people will do almost anything for the promise of fortune and fame, sad to say.
Hollywood's been a cesspit of this stuff going back to the silent movie era. Many of the original studio moguls, such as Jack Warner, were by most accounts, not nice men.
Former child and teen A-list actor Corey Feldman has implied several times that both he and his fellow Corey (Haim) were ill-used and passed around by various studio execs back in the day. There have also been plenty of stories of young child actors treated so. And the Tinseltown casting couch phenomenon is a real thing, judging by all the revelations that have been published in the past and the present.
Sometimes, it makes one wonder why we'd enable that culture by paying to see their product. Does that make all of us complicit in their unethical, and possibly criminal, behavior?
