[quote=Anonymous]Residuals are no longer very lucrative because of streaming, the online net worth speculations are based on known salary and guessing at expenses, and ALS requires round the clock care.

Eric Danes had other diseases before ALS: depression and addiction. He sought treatment for them repeatedly. The Last Ship paused because he was suffering a severe bout of depression. I am sure there were high costs associated with the treatment.

His dad was an alcoholic and died when Eric was 7. It was reported as an accident but widely believed to be suicide. He had sports injuries that interfered with his life and contributed to his addiction. In his first interview following his ALS diagnosis one of the things he said (paraphrasing) was that he never had a problem that other people created, that he was responsible for everything that made his life harder. He had every reason to be bitter but he was always grateful, kind and supportive of others.

He isn't here to have anything to say about the GFM, and I don't think Rebecca's boyfriend should be assumed to be responsible to provide for her daughters. I think the existence of GFM is a sign of a sick society. I don't have any judgment about those who donate or those who don't. and it feels wrong to have the anti-donation narrative in a memorial thread when quite obviously he didn't create it. Maybe we should have a general thread about celeb GFMs.[/quote]
