If you watch the original that hasn't been CGI, after the scene where the witch sets scarecrow on fire, when they skip away you see a little person hang themself and then was swinging in the background. I couldn't believe they took it out! That's just proof that it was real.

"Fans" often have a difficult time separating fact from fiction. Ask any well known actor about the fans that show up and call them by their character name and refuse to acknowledge that a character and the real person are two different things. It's wild. People want to be where those films were made and some think movies are so real because they've seen a film 40 times and can quote lines. Since it's on film, they think they have a right to just barge on in.

So Donahue, the actress from Blair Witch is trying to separate herself from the role, which she shares the same name of her character, because of harassment. And then you go and casually mention her new name. That was in extremely poor taste.

Ahmed Best didn't deserve to be personally attacked for choices that were equally decided by George Lucas and himself, in fact even Natalie Portman's "deadpan performance" as Queen Amidala and Hayden Christensen's "laughable dialogue deliveries" were largely the product of what Lucas wanted from them...plain and simple; however, this notion of personal attacks, threats, or racial slurs directly sent to persons over a film performance is wholly insane in ANY setting!

I don’t remember the name of the actress at the top of my head, but I know for a fact that the actress that played the initial, I guess you could say “shower victim“ in the Alfred Hitchcock film psycho apparently suffered greatly following the filming of this scene Where her character was murdered. Allegedly the sequence left such an indelible mark on her that for the rest of her life, she would not shower with her shower curtain drawn she would only shower with it open and with the door securely locked. And I guess you could say well it didn’t really “ruin her life“ I’m surprised that Jody Foster isn’t on this list. Because we have to remember that John Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Reagan in a hope to impress Jodie Foster. So indirectly one could say that , she played part in that event. And she has apparently had to live with this ever since and I know that whenever somebody wants to bring that up, she gets very defensive. And it’s not a specific film that kind of ruined his life. I guess you could say that Stephen Seagal basically probably ruined much of his life in terms of his films as well granted this is less to do with his actual films and more with his continued association with Vladimir Putin.

Jane March! You have forgotten Jane March. The film The Lover damage her. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud falsely implied the sex scene was real to boost publicity for the film, thus the sex-crazed English tabloid press trumpeted the rumor on its front pages for days, making life so miserable for March and her family that she got physically sick and had a nervous breakdown. March then fled to the Seychelles to escape. Annaud later stated the sex was not real, "At first I was flattered people believed [the sex]. But after that... I stopped doing press in Britain. Of course they didn't have sex.

[@brianarbenz1329]

Ron Howard and Tom Hanks' fabrication of the aftermath of the water landing in "Sully" damaged the lives of members of the inquiry board who in real life did _not_ accuse the pilot of misdeeds. The movie baits the audience for outrage on the "innocent person vs. the mean petty bureaucrat" trope by claiming Sully was put through a ringer by the inquiry, when that didn't happen.

[@DerekScottBland]

Not watching for the entire list, but I'll bet these names aren't included: John Reynolds - Manos, the Hands of Fate. Reynolds played Torgo, the creepy servant of "The Master." Torgo was supposed to be a Satyr, but it was never mentioned in the film. Reynolds still constructed his own special effects to make his legs look the part. They ended up damaging his legs so much he became addicted to painkillers and he killed himself a month before the film's premiere. Jake Lloyd - Star Wars, the Phantom Menace. George Lucas didn't really care about acting ability, having reached a stage in his career where all he cared about was green screen effects. Thus he didn't bother casting a believable child actor, and Lloyd's wooden performance soon had him dubbed "Mannequin Skywalker," and the actor received a lot of harassment and withdrew from the public eye. He's only recently embraced his spot in Star Wars history and has started to do convention appearances. Peter Hinwood - Rocky Horror Picture Show. Peter had no acting or singing skills, and was embarrassed by his role as Rocky. The added attention of being made an LGBTQ+ icon made things even more difficult, and he withdrew from the public. Much like Jake Lloyd, he's come to embrace his role in cinematic history as of late.

Ahmed Best’s performance as Jar Jar Binks, while less divisive today compared to the Prequel Trilogy hatred era, should’ve been perceived as the integral comic relief role _The Phantom Menace_ needed back then, but seeing him return to play Kalorun Beck in The Mandalorian was grand and heroic.

Caviezel's lack of acting jobs has more to do with his attitude than with whatever might've happened during filming of "The Passion of the Christ." I've read several articles that entail stories of Caviezel's bad and diva-like behavior. I've also read that part of that negativity is Caviezel's constant prostheletizing at others on-set. Jim Caviezel would be in the same boat had he never made that film with Mel Gibson.
