Today we have the Lindsay Lohan’s, Britney Spears, Anna Nicole Smith kinds following in her footsteps. Smith is dead and her exploitation was over the top!
Smith was in no condition to even understand what was going on anymore. They kept her pumped up with drugs and removed any shred of dignity that she may have had. I see many parallels to Marilyn Monroe's life. She too had NO FATHER present in her life, leaving her very vulnerable to men. Her mom was a drunken floozy and very impoverished as Monroe was.
Eventually, if they don't truly straighten out they will wind up dead. If Spears and Lonhan don't straighten up, they will wind up dead as well. It will aslo be the Hollywood influence that tips the scales for them tooo.
Yes. Anna Nicole was a sad case.
My grandmother grew up near Mexia where Anna was born and knew the family. She said the family was known as ‘trailor trash’ in the worse sense of the word, and Anna never had a chance.
If you don’t mind my saying, Monroe lived in a world of fantasy, as indicated that she sincerely believed that JFK would leave his wife and marry her during their affair. If you don’t have a good grounding in reality, you get destroyed by that system. Same with Dandridge really. Both kept refusing or were unable to face the realities of their personas. Monroe chose the sexpot role and same with Dorothy.
A lot of actresses sadly don’t realize that once you go into that industry, you are an object, not a human being. And men will not be interested in you for your mind initially.
