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.
The car salesman guy is Connor Cochran. He would beg fans for crash spaces instead of buying hotel rooms on the tour.
Claimed Beagle was a drunk with dementia at the trial. Judge found no basis to that claim.
Early years of touring wasn’t like this. Peter always remembered me because he has a friend with the same name. But last time I saw him, he was exhausted.
Cochran is now penniless and divorced last I heard.
I got ripped off for the Deluxe Last Unicorn edition by that snake. I’m still mad, esp as money is very tight.
Yeah, I mentioned those a couple of comments down. There were a few promised items that never were produced even though there were pre orders.
I’m dumber than most. Sometime in 2014, I got mad about the wait and found Colan’s phone number. I’d been emailing a pile of assistants, but I found his home number. He offered me a refund, but talked me out of it, since he was “so close” to getting them done.
Fucking snake. Seems on par for him.
We were last in line to meet Peter at the last show of the night and he was so exhausted. It was still such a positive experience, he’s so kind to everyone. I have almost no interest in meeting celebrities… Even ones I really like. but Peter Beagle, I would take to dinner.
Basically him and Liam O’Brien, I’d like to meet. Everyone else can get fucked lol
