“No one would hire the Academy Award winner/nominee despite his pedigree because of what he did. “

So why did Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg still get work?

Back at the height of his fame he met up with this very underage teen who had just hit it big and was partying up a storm. When I say teen, I mean barely a teen, but still the biggest story out there. She was a wild child and was not above getting wasted out of her mind. Frequently. Daily even. No family who cared so she was on her own and this actor took advantage of that and had sex with her. She had sex previously but it was with guys just a little older than her, not a guy in his 30's/40's. He did it more than once. In fact he moved her in with him for about a month and then she got pregnant and he kicked her out and sent her back home to her family. What to do? The family sent her to get an abortion and also to rehab. Nothing really happened to the actor at that time. Later though he got into more trouble.

The actor was involved with a woman who is also an actress and is a good solid B-/C+ to this day. Talented. She is very talented. They had a consensual relationship, although any relationship with this actor was always fraught with verbal and physical abuse. He beat her and yelled at her. She too got pregnant and wanted her to have an abortion. She refused. He would beat her on a daily basis to get her to change her mind. She refused. So, he beat her some more until finally one day she lost the baby. Two days later she was gone and so were his job prospects. Both actresses had powerful friends and this A lister who was on the top of his game just faded away almost instantly.

Barrymore is now a full blown alcoholic. I wonder why

No wonder no one saw this. From 2012.

Ry@n 0 Ne@l got her pregnant before she hit double digits.

Drew Barrymore? There has been that rumor (first I'd heard it) but some folks reason that had it been true, it would have come out already.

One does wonder however.

In the wake of her sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was a regular at the racy Studio 54 as a young girl, and her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. She was placed in rehab at the age of 13, [2][16] link

O'Neil and Barrymore starred together in the 1984 movie Irreconcilable Differences

Barrymore shares the legacy of her lineage and her relationship with director Steven Spielberg. We hear how she landed her career defining part as Gertie in Spielberg's “ET,” and the special gift which he gave her after she posed nude in Playboy Magazine.

Barrymore discusses other career highlights, such as “Irreconcilable Differences,” which earned her a Golden Globe nomination at the age of nine,...

While looking up info I ran across this which I found interesting:

In an interview with an author writing about the Manson murders Drew's father swore that more people knew more about Charles Manson than they were admitting to. https://ew.com/movies/2019/06/16/chaos-manson-murders-expose-tom-oneill/

(Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties)

A similar encounter came with a visit to John Drew Barrymore (father of Drew Barrymore), who was, according to O’Neill, one of the half-dozen people in Hollywood who had nervous breakdowns after Tate was murdered. O’Neill tracked him down at a family member’s house, offered a nickel bag of pot as a peace offering, and was subjected to a tirade the second Tate’s name was invoked.

“All of those people knew something more, and I think it had to do with Manson,” O’Neill says. “Some big secret.”

Makes this claim a bit creepier than it might have been already...

Drew Barrymore Dolled Up As Sharon? Catherine Denueve Talks Roman Polanski and More

I think I was right in suspecting Drew Barrymore of copying Sharon's look lately. In the new Harper's Bazaar she even came up with an idea to do a spread in a sort of "Sharon Tate and Veruschka" style.

Blind Items Revealed #27

October 11, 2019

So, that disgraced director who is forced to live overseas even though he should be in jail was at an event two weeks ago. Someone asked him about his legal troubles and then he started rambling on about how nothing ever happened to this former A+ list mostly movie actor turned worst Hollywood dad of all time. Apparently the two of them used a very young and underage celebrity offspring of, an at that time A- lister to pick up other underage girls. The offspring would often join them in bed with the other girl or girls. The director said that he didn't know how old they were, but considering who was doing the picking up, they were probably in their tweens or teens. He said that no one cared back then and why was he suffering and no one else is.

An 18-year-old Melanie Griffith traveled to Paris with the star and his daughter Tatum O’Neal as her best friend and ended up sleeping with Ryan," said the source.

"In the book, Ryan apologizes to Tatum for that indiscretion and many others, including taking his daughter to an opium-smoking orgy when she was only 12."

That account was written about on CDAN here: https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2008/06/tatum-oneal-day-5.html
