Ever seen. A. Star in a. Movie or tv show and find out they went nuts. Later on?

Michael Moriarty played DA Ben Stone in the earliest years of Law & Order and apparently had a total blowout over some issue where be believed Janet Reno was trying to censor the show.  He left\got booted from the show and later left America as he believe it was becoming a. ''Liberal fascist state''.

One of the Barbarian Brothers apparently has mental issues. Some news outlets call him Bumbarian Brother now. He's living on the streets preaching weird stuff. There's a video on youtube I think.

I'm trying not to pick on seriously Ill people and focus on stars who just went  inexplicably nuts,  not really ill people. Like how Charlie sheen threw away his two and a half men career.  Or Mel Gibson's blowup.

Tom Neal, who was in lotsa cool noirs like DETOUR (1945) and garbage like the BRUTE MAN (1946), beat the s**t out of Franchot Tone because he was f**king with his girlfriend Barbara Payton.
He got thrown in prison for manslaughter in 1965 for killing his wife!

Margot Kidder is an obvious one. Very sad.

Catherine Zeta Jones has bipolar disorder, as did Carrie Fisher. I don't think they imploded anywhere near as badly as Margot Kidder, though.

Amanda Seyfried has/had OCD.

Pro wrestler Chyna was very disturbed, as was Anna Nicole Smith.

Yancy Butler? Geez. First saw her in Hard Target with VanDamme. Didn't know she's had those kinds of problems.

Howard Hughes literally went insane - the richest man in the world starved to death because he thought someone would poison any food he ate.

My favourite Howard Hughes antics was when he spent weeks in a studio screening cinema, watching movies naked, while defecating into napkins. That's high class wtfkery.

You know the rumor that the. CIA drugged him and ruined his mind to keep him from spilling any secrets after he worked for them.

There are a million rumors about the CIA.  Roughly 1000 of them are true.
No one knows which ones.

Eh, ever since the 2000 Elections, they've all started sounding like that one guy that everybody hopes & prays gets stuck with an assigned right before the company picnic.

Wow-. I was just gonna post about Francis Farmer.
About how she was railroaded. But she didn't have to be in the nuthouse. She was no crazier than anybody in Hollywood.She just didn't bother to hide it.

I'm surprised nobody has made that into a movie as yet.
