I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.

My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.

    So many lives destroyed by the Soviets. Isaac Babel and Osip Mandelstam were just two of countless victims.

      Ayn Rand as well.

      Someone clearly really REALLY hurt her to think that crap was anything decent…
