Everyone has not been abused

That’s hysteria

But I don’t go to movies anymore

The older I get the more I notice it’s acting

Aside from the mere razzle-dazzle and glamour, when one is young (sy, up to low 20s) many of the actors/actresses have not only training, but much more life experience from which they can draw to portray various attitudes and feelings: but when one is older, and has seen and been through many more things, one is able to tell much more when a performance doesn't match reality.

There was a Tuesday Weld movie on TCM today (actually, it was on my DVR. I think it was from a few days ago). I had never seen a Tuesday Weld movie, so I looked her up Bio on IMDB.

Horrifying.

Susan Ker Weld was born on August 27, 1943, in New York City. When her father, Lathrop Motley Weld, died three years later at the age of 49, the cute little girl, whose name by then had somehow been transmogrified into "Tuesday", took over the role of the family breadwinner, which included her mother Yosene Balfour Ker. She became a successful child model, posing for advertisements and mail-order catalogs. Her work and the burden of responsibility estranged her from her mother Yosene, her two elder siblings, and forced the preteen girl into adulthood. At nine years of age, she suffered a nervous breakdown; at ten, she started heavy drinking; one year later, she began having relationships with older men, all of which led to a suicide attempt at age twelve. In 1956 she debuted in the low-budget exploitation movie Rock Rock Rock! (1956) and decided to become an actress. After numerous TV appearances in New York she went to Hollywood in 1958 and was cast for Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys! (1958), something of a breakthrough for her. Over the next few years Tuesday became Hollywood's queen of teen, playing mainly precocious sex kittens. Her wild private life added to the entertainment of her fans...

Nervous Breakdown at 9

Drinking Heavily at 10

Sexual Relations with Older Men at 11

Suicide Attempt at 12
