Shouting Thomas said...: The arts is the most bitterly exploitive, deceptive and underhanded business in existence. Behavior that would land you in jail in any other biz is just shrugged off in show biz.

That's why all those artists spend so much time lecturing us on how to take care of our business.; 6/9/11, 2:52 PM

A lot of this is the parents, pushing the kids. Consider Macauley Culkin and Lindsay Lohan as examples.; 6/9/11, 2:57 PM

MadisonMan said...: Aaah. Never Mind. (nvm, as my kids would say).

An actress who formerly played an orphan in Annie.; 6/9/11, 3:15 PM

Oh, I thought it said Hard-Cock Life.
