Reply #27: I have a little quibble with your statement of "don't be in movies if [View All]

you don't like having yr picture taken." There's a big difference between having your picture taken and having your privacy completely invaded. I have a brother who is an actor. Acting is what he was born to do and he would be wasting his talents if he were in a different profession. But I've been with him when people come and make inappropriate comments to him in front of my little nephew. I've read some of the creepy fan mail he's received. He's pretty good-natured about it but he's also not super A-list so he knows it could be much worse, and probably is for someone like Scarlett.

But anyway, why should someone be subjected to constant public scrutiny every minute of every day of their lives just because they're in movies? Why should they be hounded by paparazzi while taking their kids to school? Why should they have to make sure their hair and clothes and makeup are perfect when they take their trash out, just in case someone is hiding behind the bushes? Of course there are the media whores who'll do anything for attention, but why does being an actor automatically mean you have no right to even an ounce of privacy? I'm sorry, I just don't agree with that.

Yes, your probably right that Scarlett would've been better off driving to the police station. But perhaps, just perhaps, she was freaked out and not thinking straight. Not to mention she's, what, 19 years old? I think "no pity here" is pretty harsh unless you've never made any judgment errors in your life, especially when you were that age.
