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.
If you ever get to visit his home, which is now a museum, I highly recommend it. It feels wistful and forlorn and yet also lovely and loved. Hard to explain. Gorgeous Queen Anne home.
I will add it to my list of visits. Sounds intriguing. ty.
