LAUREN BACALL: 'VULGAR' TOM CRUISE IS NOT A GREAT ACTOR
Drudge Report ^ | 07-31-05 | WestVirginiaRebel

Posted on 07/31/2005 1:30:02 PM PDT by WestVirginiaRebel

NEW YORK-Lauren Bacall tells TIME Tom Cruise is not a great actor. "When you talk about a great actor, you're not thinking about Tom Cruise," Bacall says.

"His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's a kind of sickness."

How about not even a "good" actor?

Mediocre works.

Here is the last line of the post

If there are others like me out there, and I think there are, then get ready for a 2nd Clinton Administration.

Lauren was beautiful. But, for my money... Irene Dunn

"I still say that Jerry Maguire proved that Tom Cruise has perfected his straight man acting."

That movie blew chunks and vacuum affected.

There was no class then either. The filth and debauchery was just hidden by a complicit press. Also, Cruise maybe cooky but he's 100% better than the rest of hollywood. As far as I know he doesn't do drugs, cheat on his wife, or go on anti-American rants.

"People with class don't constantly carp at others and attack them unprovoked"

Ohhh, you mean the way Cruise constantly carps at others and attacks them(Brooke Sheilds) unprovoked. Rolls eyes, get a grip....preferably (ahem) around Toms neck.

"as far as YOU know"?? That's like being sort of pregnant silly. No, Cruise doesn't cheat on his NUMEROUS wifes, he merely divorces them Liz Taylor style. Duh

Scientology is a cult. It has drawn followers from Hollyweird because they don't like religion, either.

Do you see anthing in the press ever about him cheating or doing drugs? Do you think they wouldn't put it in newspapers if they could? Duh.

Peersonally I think Tom is gay and is cracking up under the pressure of trying to keep it a secret.

Exactly. Who thinks any of this carping is classy?

He claimed that there is no such thing as Post Partum Depression and went after Brook Shields. Cruise said NOTHING about Ritalin ! He was pushing Scientology vitamins and erroneously claiming that Post Partum Depression is like having a cold, or less.

You aren't going to last long here, newbie, if you post garbage/erroneous junk as "facts".

I think his struggle with his homosexuality is causing these outbursts and vicious unprovoked attacks.

And by the STUDIO SYSTEM as well, who made the press keep mum about the worst of it.

Humphrey Bogart was a drunken lecher.
