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.

    Osamu Dazai,the fact that his book “no longer human” are heavily influenced with his life are perhaps one of the most dismal things I’ve ever discovered. Osamu was suicidal throughout his life and suffered from tuberculosis,alcoholism and drug addiction. He eventually committed su!c!de by drowning himself at Tamagawa river in 13th June 1948…I remember reading the manga adaptation by Junji Ito and decided to bought the original book,turns out it was the most depressing book I ever read and I’m gone through the whole week feeling depressed.
