[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a friend who has been in the industry for nearly 40 years - has worked with everyone from Madonna and Michael Jackson making videos to Spike Lee and Martin Scorsese on full length features, from the Sopranos to the Marvel Universe.  When I once asked him who was the worst person he ever encountered he did not hesitate to  indicate Ashley Judd.  Said she was “spoiled, unprofessional, hard headed, selfish, insecure, unreliable and a bit crazy.”

I hope she gets better but I bet there is a back story.  [/quote]

I think her family has had such significant pathology in their history, (they admit as much) and so she has suffered a good deal of emotional deprivation and abuse/trauma in her childhood, I respect her in many ways, I just find the underlying histrionic streak in all of the Judds to be wearying, her and her mother in particular seem compelled to photograph and display their pain and yet I understand her drive to save others and to save the world. She needed saving as a little girl and no one was there for her. She at least tries to use her fame for good, which is commendable. I can think of worse celebrities.[/quote]

This pretty much sums it up. I think she's somewhat troubled, but when you read about her childhood, that's not suprising.[/quote]

No no no.... she was on a hike - not saving the world. [/quote]

She is raising awareness about the bonobos, about whom I knew nothing until I read this. Maybe it will inspire donations etc. But do I think she should be doing this during a global pandemic? Of course not.[/quote]

Really?  You knew NOTHING about bonobos until Ashley Judd broke her leg?  Did you not go to high school?  Have you never watched a documentary on PBS?[/quote]

I have a PhD in a non-primate related field, thanks.  :lol: [/quote]
