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.
My friend goes to church with him. He says if you compliment the Enders Game Book he will be happy to chat with you for a few minutes. If you compliment the movie he will just give you a cold stare and walk off.
