Death in Hollywoodland 2

Will Phillips

4.9/5 (11981 ratings)

Description:There is no question that actors, those coddled, polished, and too often, hollow mannequins, have been well paid for their dedication, but there has never been a time in the history of film making when they had the most important of job benefits: security. Unlike teachers, Hollywood stars never attain tenure. They work only so long as their performances produce profit. Their fame continues only so long as a great number of moviegoers continue to believe in their radiant persona and thus attend the films they appear in; and it is clear that it is psychologically devastating to attain star status, even to a minor extent, and then lose it. Following are stories of 265 Hollywood celebrities that lost that status and couldn’t accept their failure; celebrities that were murdered because of their fame; celebrities that couldn’t resist the temptation of easily obtainable corporal pleasures such as uninhibited sexual frolicking, careless use of drugs and alcohol; and, of course, those who developed a megalomaniac tendency to allow fame to twist their minds to delusional fantasies of power and omnipotence.Here also is the history of the city from 1880 until the present, the stories of the stars that served in World War Two, the early Black actors, and of the child actors of the ‘20s and ‘30s.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
