And they rely on other people being too embarrassed or fearful for their jobs to speak up.

Ask Marilyn Monroe et al. Not that I am suggesting that actors and actresses sleep their way to the top. Not at all. Yet look at the rent boys in the industry. Some of their autobiographies (after they've "made" it) make for enlightening reading.<br /><br />I dare say, with an aside to John, that Bette Davis and Lauren Bacall won't have stooped so low to get where they ended up.<br /><br />Tragedy, fact of life, that so many dare not bite the hand that promises to feed them. Emphasis on "promises". My father, he and his closest friends working in various media, gave me one hell of an education of how not to be duped. At the time (I was in my teens), I had no idea what he was talking about. As it is, maybe by absorbing what he said by osmosis, I came away with not a hair out of place. Which isn't difficult since my hair is unruly.<br /><br />U<br /><br />PS Before I forget: Nice to hear your voice the other day.

If I felt things were going to fair had no hesitation in lashing out and slapping someone around the face. I also spoke out in the cinema when the man sat beside me started playing with himself by shouting 'put that away you dirty pig'.. and on the tube when some one started frotting I shouted, 'stop rubbing yourself against me'. You would think my big mouth would have got me in to trouble but it never did. Every single time the perpetrator shuffled away.
