Addiction and Famous People
Addiction seems to plague celebrities. But I think the truth is, addiction plagues everyone and celebrities just get noticed for it. If some redneck gets ten DUI’s nobody cares, but when it’s Lohan, everybody’s stunned. As far as minor celebrities, it’s barely a mention on TMZ. A lot of lesser known celebrities, like William Russ, Jeffrey Tambor, and others who are more face famous than name famous, have managed to remain under the radar for their entire lives. How? Simply like any normal person would stay under the radar. By not partying until all hours, by not embarking on crazy self-destructive rampages, and also by not winning any awards or garnering excess positive attention. Really, to stay out of the spotlight, you have to avoid all kinds of attention. That’s obviously hard for people who win Oscars or star in amazing films, but it’s still possible. Robert Redford is incredibly private. All you have to do is hide from the press.
