having worked in hollywood from 89-2000 i saw some things that in retrospect are eerily familiar with these stories
huge dark soundstages, ambitious child celebrities trying to make an impression being shuffled about by straight up slimy “handlers”, producers, directors, and standards and practices network cronies that were as overtly queer as a football bat. one wrap party for a saturday morning kid’s show in particular looked like a village people music video.
brandy, ray j, ross malinger, usher, brittany spears, kirsten dunst, brittany and cynthia daniel, elijah wood, joseph gordon levitt, andrew keegan, were some kids i worked with that came to mind. and some of the parents i spoke with seemed to have an absolute obsession over being in view of their child at all times.
now i get it.
