The studio heads used to drug the actors, uppers, downers, cocaine. It destroyed some of the legends, the "girl next door" Garland, is the most tragic, her mother basically sold her off to the studios. They would be exhausted and given uppers, in pain, given opiods, cant sleep because of the uppers, given barbituates. And that was all in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. The movie Babylon about the change to "talkies" depicts the scene as decadent as it is. Now? 100 times my worst fear ? I do not know what that would be. Actors who are killed after each release and replaced by clones? Skinned alive parties? Nothing is worse than crimes against children, nothing. I think Jesus felt that way too.

The song Comfortably Numb comes to mind.
Okay
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more (ahhhhh)
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go
& ironically, back to movies, that song makes me think of The Departed
