Julianne Moore On Playing Sarah Palin: I Had 'Tremendous Amount Of Trepidation'

There are lots of celebrities who could not handle the pressure and buckled spiraling into drugs, profligate sex, other forms of hedonism, insanity, and eventually suicide. The Palins have weathered the storm fairly well.

Not sure if I and my family could weather such a storm or would want to do this.

There are celebrities that try to work with their heightened awareness to do things that are very good for society and other people. Bono, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and many others.

Then there are those that take to a much more darker side and seem to use their fame for what I can only view as evil purposes like Charles Lindbergh and his fascination with the Nazis.
Wow, I did not know that about Charles Lindbergh! Do you know if there are any books written about it?
