I have worked in Hollywood as a writer/producer. Let me tell you that most women these days who flock to acting are mentally unstable,and have come from bad homes.This holds true to a lesser extent,with male actors. They lack self esteem,and this is manifested in their neurotic touchy-feely liberalism.
I suspect you are right. I personally know a young girl (oddly enough from Georgia) who is unusually attractive, and really charismatic. She is also sweet natured. I think one could say she has "it".
I noticed about two years ago she had begun a career in acting and has appeared in small roles in a few movies. For this particular girl that is the worst thing that could happen to her. She is, as you said, mentally unstable.
She did come from a good family tho.
