EVERYONE is welcome and please join us each morning at 7:30 AM PACIFIC

Our society places a lot of value on celebrity. I respect it, I don't discount it. I've been influenced by many actors, artists, musicians, vocalists, writers and activists during my life. I have my favorites, I hold them closely to my heart.
But today, my question for you is, what celebrities have you fallen out of love with?
Back in the day, I adored Mel Gibson. I wanted to have his baby. I fell in love with him because of Road Warrior and then it solidified when I backtracked to see Mad Max. Then he did Gallipoli. I loved The Year of Living Dangerously and The Bounty. But then he went nuts...
Robert Duvall... This is very hard for me. I loved him as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird. He was so memorable in Apocalypse Now, we quote him today and always will. So many, many films. So many amazing performances. (I may have to make an exception for Bobby Duvall and keep him in the Love File.) But still... wtf? Repub?
I also liked Kelsey Grammer. I enjoyed him in Cheers and Frasier for many years. But then I found out he was nuts...
Most of the people on this list I don't care about but... these guys???
Jon Voight?
Sylvester Stallone?
Bruce Willis?
I was once very fond of each of them. Until I found out they were nuts.
But at some point, you just have to walk away. Nothing to be redeemed here.
So tell me who's on your list? Your list can be extensive or short, like mine.
Go for it.
