I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.
My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.
I just saw Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney live recently and they’re both well into their 80s. Still killing it and Bob has a new album, along with his welding and paintings he does.
He’s old yes, but not too old to not finish them.
Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan aren’t now, not have they ever been overweight.
