Famous People Paradox

Remember the girl Justine Bateman from Family Ties? Today, I stumbled across an article from Vice on an interview with Justine.

I’ll cut to the chase and this response is my opinion.

Just as Hank Sr (pills, booze, dead at 29), Elvis (over dose on pills), Whitney Houston (booze and pills dead at 50 during her award ceremony), etc.; they become trapped and can never go back to before the artificial Hollywood event horizon sucks them in for life.

Imagine if Elvis became a bag boy at Winn-Dixie and attempted to leave behind Hollywood. It cannot happen.

It’s interesting after a famous person dies, most of the followers over react or appear shocked. Death comes to all of life in Nature.

Drugs and suicides appear as an attempt to escape the fame. Most narcissist shine in the Hollywood life and this article probably would not directly apply to them, but I know myself well enough that I could not handle this parallel reality.
