Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love the movie and have for a long time. But I think I find the parallels to what actually happened in some of the actors’ lives too disturbing to watch it in the same way now. I don’t actually think the analogy to Peter Pan goes much beyond wild kids trying to stay young forever. The…

Martin Sheen was also on Anger Management, and is also a producer of the show, along with another son. Martin Sheen, disturbingly, does fit the description perfectly. Right age, kids in the industry on many of the same sets, A-list-ish, both a producer and an actor.

In fact, the more impeccable the façade, the higher the level of predation. Look at Cosby.

I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to watch the Lost Boys again. I have a research interest in the subtext of vampire movies and I found it so interesting that while the original stories were all about fear of female sexuality and immigrant contagion (Dracula, Carmilla), with men preying on women or women on…

I’m sure Charlie Sheen is mixed up in this somehow, but I really don’t think he’s the perp because of the burden of proof aspect. EVERYONE would believe it if that were the story, and that’s been true for years. He and Haim worked on a movie together (opportunity), Sheen’s a violent and abusive drug addict (cause),…

What happened with Cosby also gives me hope. Enough rumors and the slow but persistent growth of enough people concerned about them took him down, even when the law wouldn’t/couldn’t.

Often it’s one child that’s targeted, if the abuser can’t keep their hands off their own family–it contributes to the ability of others to disbelieve the victim. Just look at what happened with Woody Allen–people who defend him constantly bring up that some of the other siblings disagree with Dylan, or that Soon-Yi…

That’s been debunked.

It occurred to me, but he doesn’t feel A-list exactly–though I saw an earlier item on CrazydaysandNights that identified the actor in question as A list and mostly TV...

Emilio clearly has a good relationship with his dad so I dismissed it, but Charlie is a mess–as adult survivors of abuse who don’t get treatment too…

Richard Gere’s not a family-man type, though, and also “gerbiling” etc. – it wouldn’t be a shock.

I feel totally awful and irresponsible for even suggesting it; I have no info that would suggest it’s any of them – just thinking about the kind of public figure that the article describes.

Just a vibe–the idea he’s a sex symbol has always been lost on me, he seems so cold blooded. Like I’m weirded out that he apparently hasn’t been scandal-plagued. I always thought there must some kind of Hugh Grant/RDJ/Charlie Sheen-type fuckery in his background, but not that I could find much public mention of…

Thinking about Bill Cosby, and how many accusations were made, and people still defended him–I would have to assume that the abuser is at least Cosby-level famous and revered. Actors I can think of who were stars in the early–mid ‘80s, are still admired now, and haven’t already been tarnished by a scandal or two:…

I really don’t want it to be.

Original article says later, and yes, by the mid ‘80s he was making Splash and then...Big :( :( :( :(

In the source article, it says that person was a producer, and this superstar actor was later (ugh, poor boys). I don’t see anyone in Haim’s IMDB history from the early to mid ‘80s who is famous enough, old enough but not dead, and hasn’t already got a reputation (Sheen, Downey, Harrelson) – so it was probably someone…

He’s already infamous for being an anti-semitic, misogynistic lunatic, though – wouldn’t have had the clout to keep this quiet on top of everything else.

Kiefer Sutherland wasn’t old or powerful enough at the time, and is a drunk, publicly lecherous mess.

Sounds like she had every reason to be–what a judgmental douche! At least he’s apologized for it.

yes! was checking for this.
