“They need to be 14-15 before they’re allowed to get roles and take advantage of the nepotism, not because they aren’t talented, but because I have exclusive connections to everyone in Hollywood and they’ll have virtually no problem getting work, unlike literally everyone else that doesn’t have a famous parent in the industry to provide support and connections while they pursue their careers in showbiz”
Alright I fixed the quote.
But in all seriousness, eventually it’s going to be too difficult and costly for anyone not related to someone already in the industry to get major legit work and all we will be left with the the sons daughters grandsons granddaughters nieces and nephews of Hollywood people over saturating the available talent pool. Oh wait they already did that.
That’s a good choice but what of her kids decide
To choose a different career path?
Given her experiences, it’s surprising she would allow them to be involved in the industry at all before they’re adults.
The nepotism is strong in this one, that’s for sure.
She did have a pretty fucked up childhood but.
I don’t give a fuck with that scab thinks about anything.
Kids shouldn’t be barred from acting. Its something I’ve seen so many kids in school get into when it comes to theater and they enjoy acting in and of itself. The problem arises when you don’t have active parents to keep you away from bad things. I see Drew as someone who would protect her kids and be an actual active parent compared to her own parents.
You could take Elijah Wood for example. He’s been in things since he was young and talks about how hes never experienced any of the negative sides of Hollywood because his parents gave a shit to be present for everything.
Kids shouldn’t be barred from acting. The system needs to be fixed. The problem is that you have so many parents that just let their kids run wild with strangers in the hopes that they make a lot of money in the process.
Remember when she emancipated herself at 15. Then did near CP. see:poison ivy
