Is Johnny Depp Like Nelson Mandela? by Stephen S...
To someone not in the industry, the life of a television star seems like a glamorous occupation. But many actors signed to long term contracts feel more imprisoned than privileged. Johnny Depp was so miserable on 21 Jump Street (1987-1992) he actually tried to get fired, pulling stunts like lighting his underwear on fire on the set. Speaking years later about finally getting off the detective show, the actor said," I was like Mandela, man." A similar reaction came from Natalie Schaefer. Like m...

I'm Just The Writer by Stephen Schochet
Writers are often are greatly surprised and disappointed by how their work is changed when it is adapted for the big screen. When Irwin Shaw's World War II novel The Young Lions was shot in Paris in 1958, the Nazi character was played by Marlon Brando. Ever the method actor, Brando provoked uproar by strutting around town in his SS uniform, even going into restaurants to dine.

Don't You Know Who I Am? by Stephen Schochet
One dilemma that the super famous face is balancing the needs of privacy and recognition. One time in New York an unnoticed Marilyn Monroe was walking down Madison Avenue accompanied by Eli Wallach. " My God, don't these people know who you are?" Wallach asked her. Marilyn, whose application of make-up took nearly as long Boris Karloff's Frankenstein Monster, grinned at him. "I'm only recognized when I want to be. Watch this." She began to swing her hips and walk in a way that was familiar to ...
