yes, and yet they are all depicted on covers of mags and stories and TV as beauties that have everything. See what I mean? Seems to me they have NOTHING but the $$$ they make. NONE of them are happy. If you have all that beauty, fame, money, homes, vacations, expensive (silly) clothing and outrageously priced handbags and shoes etc...how come they are not happy like an ordinary person? Fame is not all it is cracked up to be unless you are mature enough to handle it like some of the stars did in t he days of old. Seems everyone wants their faces out there and the cameras filming them 24 hours a day. It’s insecurity plain and simple. Age comes quickly in that dark world anyway and so there is plastic, botox, creams, etc... too many parties and drugs. How can THAT lifestyle be anything but destructive???? Beats me.

Warning, serious thread hijacking coming...

From my younger days, the one I always remembered was Mary Tyler Moore. She was beautiful, and in both Dick Van Dyke and the MTM Show, was depicted as being the dream girl every man wanted. In real life, she was diabetic, married four times, and her only son committed suicide.

There's fantasy and reality. Many people have tough lives, but it really gets brought into stark contrast when you have the artificial image constructed by media compared to the reality of day to day living.
