#5  On the other hand, this also assumes there are people without emotional problems...

There are—but mysteriously—they don't get any coverage from the MSM.

#4  One thing I've always wondered: are so many actors messed up because, while they are greatly adored, they're not adored for who they are? I mean, to take one example, people don't like Meryl Streep because of who Meryl Streep is; they like Meryl Streep because she can pretend to be someone else (Sophie, or the French lieutenant's woman) and do it convincingly. In her more reflective moments, someone like her has to realize this on some level: they don't really like me.

#3  I'm not sure it's not the other way around; people with emotional problems are attracted to acting and tinseltown or broadway as a way to explore/escape their own problems. When they get there, success only exace4rbates the pre-existing condition. (Same for lots of psych majors).

On the other hand, this also assumes there are people without emotional problems...

#2  I've known quite a few very beautiful women, and many of them have had a tragic life. I've only known one Hollywood person, and HIS life was much the same. Too much attention seems to cause most people emotional problems, and the jealousy of their "peers" doesn't help. Still, an attractive woman ALWAYS lifts my spirits. Thanks, Fred!
