And this went to place I didn't really want to have to see. But I guess I am glad I watched it. I know you are right, Urge, most comedians have this dark side to their personality and this constant need for validation. Sad.:(

this is why i keep off screen seperate from on screen. I have no interest in the personal lives of these people ... although i do like autobiographies for the sole purpose of some insite to how the movies were made that they were involved in.
The Peter Sellers movie had very little to do with his actual movies - so i was a little dissapointed at that - while realizing that this was never the intended focus of the film ..
he was a great actor - but a pathetic man - if as you say - even a small portion of what we saw is true ..
