[@shannonbradley4699]

Thank you

[@bdflatlander]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this list together. Your efforts are very much appreciated! I also don’t understand why Liza Minnelli wasn’t on the list. She definitely had a reputation for being an alcoholic, which is sad given how talented she was. I saw her in concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in August 1973 (the same year she won the Oscar for ‘Cabaret’) and she put on a fabulous performance. The audience, including me, gave her a 5 minute standing ovation at the end of the concert. She was 27 and at her peak.

[@kalevala29]

No Veronica Lake? By the way, that's Bette Davis in Now Voyager when you talk about Joan Crawford.

[@belugasmith]

How much could it cost to hire an editor FFS! Between Bayla Lugosi, Saint Omach cancer, Robe In Williams, Orson Welles photo for Paul Lynne, and other mistakes it’s quite disconcerting. BTW, the Barrymoores make a good argument for a genetic connection with addiction!

[@4got102c]

Gig Young was married & divorced from Elizabeth Montgomery. He didn't kill Elizabeth, but his violent end wasn't a surprise to Montgomery who had spoken of Young's very abusive behavior.

[@brianarbenz1329]

He is suspected of killing a later wife and himself in a murder/suicide, but the coroner’s report claimed it was a double murder by an intruder. His wife was from Germany and half his age. Her parents long contested the coroner’s finding.

[@fatimamelo3858]

Sad but true...the beauty of the movies did not match their real lives...

[@jrnfw4060]

There were a few who still thrived, who could handle their success and actually enjoyed their lives. I think the secret was not to take any of it too seriously.

[@bdflatlander]

The more I learn about the private lives of celebrities the more thankful I am that I don’t have any acting or musical talent. Between all the divorces and substance abuse it certainly appears that fame and celebrity exacts a huge toll on one’s health and longevity. The amount of alcohol and tobacco products that some of these celebrities consumed could kill a horse. Maybe the price of fame is all the booze and cigarettes one has to consume in order to cope with all its demands. Makes me more thankful for my quiet and relatively boring life!

[@rocket22mike]

I would have added Jan-Michael Vincent to this group. He struggled with a number of substance abuse issues all his life. It was amazing to watch a handsome man as he was deteriorated down so badly that he landed in a wheelchair.

[@CaptainFoufeu]

I never drink and never have. I never had any interest in it. Im not a party person at all. But a former housemate of mine, Josh (son of my landlord's boyfriend), drank so much that it caused him to lose everything. He lost his job as a security guard (or so he says that was his job) in 2019, due to him showing up drunk. He never went back to work, and his mom, who was now living in Connecticut, was paying for all of his bills and necessities. While he lived here, he had shared custody of his two young daughters, aged 3 and 4. He lived in a small room, and never allowed the girls to come out, keeping the door locked. It stank in there severely. He neglected them horribly. The few times i had seen them, they were usually naked or only in diapers without clothing. Neither of them were potty trained. He would only feed them Hot Pockets, Totinos Pizza Rolls, Eggo waffles, or cold Spaghetti-Os straight out of the can onto a paper plate, without a spoon. Both girls would share one can. He played violent videogames all day and watched vicious horror movies in their presence. The girls were seriously thin, not potty trained, non-verbal, and did not respond to verbal commands from others. If the girls did anything wrong, he wouldnt speak to them, but would only get face to face with them and roar like a lion. He was profane and unreasonable, usually angry or just crying to get attention. He left messes everywhere and never cleaned up after himself, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Eventually his behavior was too much for all the tenants and landlord to bear, so the landlord kicked him out, and he went to live with his brother at his apartment down the street. His brother had young kids too, and it became too difficult to have him around near the kids. About a year passed, and he came back to live with us in the room attached to the garage. He was now suffering from severe anxiety, panic attacks and behavioral issues i hadnt witnessed in him before. He and his ex-wife both lost custody of the girls, because a school teacher noticed multiple bruises on the elder, and the fact that she was not potty trained, non-verbal, and didnt respond to anyone who spoke to her. CPS was called, and they were investigated. The girls were permanently removed from their custody and were diagnosed with several mental illnesses and put in skilled foster homes for disabled children. Neither Josh or his ex-wife are allowed any contact with the girls forever. He began trying to confide in me for purposes of therapy, as I've had PHP group therapy for health issues for many years, so i know how to listen. But he never took advice. He blatantly lied about everything, and it was easily clear he was lying about things. Eventually, he tried to get into rehab, but no place would accept him anymore as he already had a history of escapes from several facilities. The landlord kicked him out again, and he stayed with his brother again, but hes not allowed to stay much longer. He's only 28, and is now on dialysis and cannot drive anymore. He's afraid to go outdoors, unless he wants to go to the liquor store. His mother is coming over to pick him up and take him back to Connecticut (from here in California) in a few days, so she can take care of his health and seclude him from the outside world and deny him any rights to go outdoors, shop, be social, or have access to alcohol or any of his other vices that are ruining his life. Hes on dialysis so hes practically bedridden. And my landlord said theres some other things that are going on that she doesnt quite understand the medical terms for, but that he has many more problems that are leading to a quick death. My landlord only refers to him as either "Yours truly," "The Drunkard," or "The one who must not be named" as if he was Voldemort from Harry Potter. We're all going to be glad when hes gone, but i sure feel sorry for his mother, now going to have to cradle and babysit a grown man who cant handle his own life on his own. Alcohol makes you a loser, so dont touch it unless you want to be a loser.

[@sharonpeterson896]

It doesn't sound like his mother will have to care for him very long. Sounds like he's circling the drain!

[@lynnmeyers10]

Andre had a most unfortunate gigantism that meant he continued to grow and couldnt stop. He was expected to die young. He died in continuous loneliness, since even other giants, while tall, stopped at a height that was bearable. I doubt many giants have very good love lives either. Andre was terribly lonely, his whole life, thus alcoholism.

Interesting. However, a photo of Orson Welles was shown for both Orson, and again, for Paul Lynde. Other people in the images were unrelated to the topic.
