'''Hollywood "values"''' are characterized by public obscenities, decadence, [[narcissism]], hypocrisy, rampant [[drug|drug use]], [[adultery|extramarital sex]] leading to the spread of sexually-transmitted [[disease]], [[abortion]], lawlessness and the promotion of the [[homosexual agenda]]. Such values have a very negative influence on the life of individuals, and very often lead to death. A 2006 poll by MSNBC said that 60% of [[Americans]] agree that "Hollywood's values are not in line with the rest of America and that the quality of movies has diminished in recent years."<ref>MSNBC.com (March 8, 2006). [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11714540 "Hollywood values out of touch, poll says".] Today.com [NBC News]. Accessed March 30, 2014. 17,000 person poll by MSNBC. See [[MSNBC]]</ref>

The lack of [[morals]] and difference of [[values]] in [[Hollywood]] culture has been destroying the fabric of American culture, particularly the family.

==Conflict over values==
There have been, however, a handful of prominent people whose work in Hollywood opposed these values. [[Charlton Heston]], [[Jim Caviezel]], Ricardo Montalban, [[Ronald Reagan]], [[James Stewart]], [[Pat Boone]], Paul Schofield, Lisa Whelchel (who played ''The Facts of Life'' character Blair Warner, but refused a role where she would be the first of Eastland's girls to become a non-virgin), [[Walt Disney]], Jodi Benson, and many others practiced conservative values while working in Hollywood and the productions of these and many others also reflect these values, irrespective of the names associated with them: ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' and ''Independence Day'' (a 1996 movie about the United States being attacked by hostile alien invaders on [[Independence Day]]) being recent examples.

Although the social elite and studio executives of Hollywood may have held different values than [[Real America|Main Street America]], the disparity was hidden from the public. First, many film studios and actors hired publicity agents to control what lifestyle facts became known to the public. Certain personal indiscretions were considered "off-limits" to journalists and not generally reported, such as [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s connection to various [[organized crime]] and political figures (including [[JFK]]).

Second, both the film studios and the television networks had codes of acceptable content. Actors who were living by Hollywood values were creating films and television programs that carefully avoid sexually explicit themes or foul language. For example, the code required that if a married couple were to be shown in a bedroom scene, they would have twin beds and would be wearing [[pajamas]].

Third, after the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled that the [[First Amendment]] protected certain forms of literature and motion pictures that were previously considered [[pornographic]] in ''Miller v. California'' in 1973, the case law developed that applied local community standards when deciding whether a particular work was to be protected. This had the effect of decoupling national values from Hollywood values and started a race to the lowest common denominator.

Finally, over time, the media has shifted from being concentrated to being dispersed. The three major television networks ([[ABC]], [[CBS]] and [[NBC]]) shifted to thousands of cable channels, and the adoption of the Internet by the general public made controlling the spread of news and the fabrication of false public images by movie studios impossible. As a result, tabloid journalism and [[reality television]] spread the full impact of the Hollywood lifestyle throughout American culture.

==Description==

Hollywood values include a flagrant disrespect and disregard for:

* [[abstinence]], [[marriage]] and [[fidelity]]
* [[patriotism]]
* [[religion]] and [[spirituality]] (Hollywood's profits depend on the [[advertising]] and sale of [[materialism|material goods]] and other superficial "solutions" to problems.)
* [[accountability]]
* the [[military]]<ref>[http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/editorials/hollywood_gets_it_right_p4d84a9jyymsfLw0THb7EM "Hollywood gets it right"] (March 9, 2010). ''New York Post''.</ref>
* family responsibilities, like childrearing<ref>Li, David K. (February 13, 2008). [http://www.nypost.com/seven/02132008/news/nationalnews/brit_doesnt_want_her_kids__1st_ex_97425.htm "Brit doesn't want her kids: 1st ex"]. New York Post website. See [[Britney Spears]].</ref>
* laws that apply to everyone else
* commonly accepted behavioral boundaries and values of human decency
* hard work and humility

In addition, Hollywood portrays these values as rebellious and [[counterculture|countercultural]]. They portray religious and spiritual institutions as greedy, self-serving, sexually perverted, prejudiced, ignorant, and unscientific. When comparing the satisfaction brought about by faith, spirituality, family, and friendship, which may happen to include donations to a church or other organization, it is clear that the profits of Hollywood and the industries which rely upon Hollywood for profit are the true establishment—thus making traditional values truly rebellious and countercultural, and Hollywood values a lie.

Hollywood values perpetuate [[liberal]]-driven [[Essay:Liberal Falsehoods|falsehoods]]:

*''The Road We’ve Traveled''
:20 minute mini-documentary on [[Barack Obama]], narrated by actor [[Tom Hanks]], is more fiction than fact, more fantasy than reality.

*''Game Change''

*''Inside Job''
:A 2010 film by Democrat donor Charles Ferguson that blames the Great Recession on [[Wall Street]], deregulation, the [[Bush Administration]]. The film whitewashes Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's role and claims the financial system corrupted politics. Capitalists are the bad guys.

*''Fair Game''
:Another Bush bash flick starring communist [[Sean Penn]]. 2010 film rehashes the lead up to the war in Iraq and [[Valerie Plame]]'s role. Typical un-American Hollywood film ''"The narrative that [[Karl Rove]] and Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff [[Scooter Libby]] were nefarious behind-the-scenes players intent on destroying innocent reputations while pushing the nation into war on false pretenses."'' <ref>Weinstein, Jamie (November 10, 2010).

*''The Iron Lady''
: Meryl Streep plays [[Margaret Thatcher]] in this gross mistake of a film. Liberals distort her triumphs and her low career points. Streep portrays Thatcher as a dementia-sufferer looking back at her life with sadness. The director defended the film as "a fictional film, but it will be fair and accurate."

The Telegraph [U.K.] website.</ref>

*''The Tillman Story''
:A liberal's view of the circumstances surrounding the death of football star and Army Ranger [[Pat Tillman]]. The film portrays each and every fact as sinister. Plus, each and every fact is evidence of a conspiracy. Typical Hollywood [[George W. Bush]] bashing flick. The bias was clear, make Tillman a liberal atheist anti-war hero that was cannon-fodder for the government.

*Films based on the [[Matthew Shepard]] fallacy.
:Adherents to Hollywood values "green-lighted a troika of [[Matthew Shepard]] movies after he was senselessly killed because it affirmed their gut feeling that a homosexual young man living in backward America is destined for death at the hands of hateful ultraconservatives. A street in West Hollywood still stands in his name despite ABC News reporting the story false: He was killed by crazed meth addicts for drugs and money—not because of his homosexuality (in fact, one of his killers had himself been homosexual). Isn't that tragic enough? Yet Shepard is still the icon of homosexual victims' rights, and the mistaken story of his 'fate' soon thereafter befell Jake Gyllenhaal's character in ''Brokeback Mountain.'' The Oscar statuette stands as the exclamation point."<ref>Breitbart, Andrew (September 26, 2007).

*''[[Inherit the Wind]]''
:Hollywood perpetuated complete lies about the [[Scopes Trial]] in order to smear Christianity, including:

:*portraying [[William Jennings Bryan]] as being ignorant, harsh and punitive, based on a false portrayal of his actions and testimony

:*falsely claiming that at the end Bryan, in a senseless fit of madness, died in the courtroom amid caring and reasonable Darwinists

:*falsely portraying the Darwinists in a positive light and the Christians as deceitful

==Disrespect for marriage==

''See also:'' [[Atheism and marriage]] and [[Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity]]

Many celebrities and other exponents of Hollywood Values have no respect for the sanctity of marriage—their own or anyone else's. This is manifested in a high rate of marriage breakdown, and by the home-wrecking activities of the promiscuous, whose moral outlooks have been distorted by liberal and atheistic teachings.
*Bonnie Lee Bakely was married ten times, divorced four, annulled five and her last marriage (to Robert Blake) was the only one ending in death—hers in 2001.
*Marion Barry, [[Washington D.C.]]'s second ever mayor after Walter Washington, best known for his videotaped crack bust in 1990, first three marriages ended in divorce, including the one to Effi Slaughter, his third wife with whom he had his only child and was married to when he was in the videotape with a model. His fourth marriage to Cora Masters when the one to Effi ended was the only one that ended in death-his in 2014.
*Ingrid Bergman, Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''The Bells Of St. Mary's'' (1945). In 1950, Ingrid, who was married to fellow Swede, Peter Lindstrom, had an affair with director Roberto Rosellini while in Italy filming his direction of the movie, ''Stromboli'' (1950) and remained there after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused her to be blacklisted from U.S. films and denounced from pulpits as "an agent of evil" until her U.S. comeback in ''Anastasia'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like the one to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage afterwards to Lars Schmidt (1958-1978), four years before her death in 1982.
*[[Michael Bloomberg]], New York City's mayor from 2002-2013 who continued his predecessor Giuliani's zero-tolerance and "stop and frisk" policies towards street crimes divorced his former wife in 1993 after 18 years of marriage and two children and is now living with his domestic partner Diana Taylor since 2000.
*[[Humphrey Bogart]], His first three marriages ended in divorce and his fourth (to [[Lauren Bacall]]) was the only one ending in death—his in 1957, age 51.
*Joan Crawford (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] [[idol]], was married and divorced three times and named as the 'other woman' in at least one affair with a married man. Her fourth and last marriage to [[PepsiCo, Inc|Pepsi Company]]'s president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When Joan died in 1977, her public disinheriting of her two oldest remaining adopted children from her $2M estate "for reasons that should be well known to them" was said to have caused her oldest daughter, Christina, to write her best-selling book ''Mommie Dearest'' (1978, adapted into film in 1981), which alleged a lifetime of [[Adultery|extramarital affairs]], [[alcoholism]] and selfishness-based [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. Unfortunately, like her adoptive mother, Christina also got married and divorced three times in her own lifetime.
*[[Cecil B. DeMille]], despite his direction of popular Biblical epics, committed [[adultery]] during his marriage to Constance Adams that, surprisingly, lasted until his death in 1959, age 77.
*Frances Farmer, who was the subject of a 1982 biopic starring Jessica Lange (who herself adopted Frances' lifestyle into her own real life), as a [[public school]]er in 1931 denied God in a controversial award-winning high school essay called ''God Dies'' and in 1935, visited the [[USSR]], was also popular in the 1930s to the point of being considered "the next [[Greta Garbo]]", had three marriages at least two of whom ended in divorce, with extramarital affairs during at least one that included one with married play writer Clifford Odets. She also had a then-illegal [[abortion]] which left her sterile; the guilt of which caused her to avoid all contact with children. In 1958, however, when she moved to [[Indianapolis]] (she died there in 1970 at age 56), a friend's child whispered to her "I love you because you're good", something that nobody ever said or maybe even thought about her before. Soon afterwards, she went to St. [[Joan of Arc]] Catholic Church in where she went to [[confession]] of all her sins and took up classes about and in 1959 was baptized into the Catholic faith, turning away from her former lifestyle.
*[[Greta Garbo]] shunned marriage for herself altogether but instead engaged in numerous affairs with married men.
*[[Ava Gardner]] was married and divorced three times between 1942-1957 and cheated during the marriages. During her marriage to Frank Sinatra (1951-1957, her last), she got pregnant twice and aborted both children because MGM had all sorts of penalty clauses about their stars having babies.
*[[Judy Garland]], best known for her "Dorothy Gale" role in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1939) had five marriages, the first four ended in divorce, the last ended only three months later in her death in 1969 from a barbiturate overdose at age 46.
*[[Rudolph Giuliani]], [[New York City]]'s law and order mayor from 1994-2001, was married three times, the first to Regina Peruggi from 1968-1983 until he found that she was his second cousin. During his second marriage (1984-2002) to local television personality Donna Hanover, he had affairs with his press secretary, Christyne Lategano, and with Judith Nathan, even providing Nathan with police escorted chauffeuring services and bringing her to Gracie Manson. In 2002, his divorce from Hanover was finalized and he married Nathan in 2003, making it Nathan's third marriage after two previous divorces. In 2018, Nathan filed for divorce from Giuliani, who is currently dating Republican fundraiser Jennifer LeBlanc.
*Florence Henderson, despite her wholesome ''Carol Brady'' image on ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'', had an affair with then future New York City mayor John Lindsay in the 1960's during her first marriage to Ira Bernstein with whom she had all four of her children. She said Lindsay gave her crab lice. She divorced Bernstein in 1985 after 29 years and married John Kappas in 1987, which lasted until his death in 2002.
*[[Katharine Hepburn]], whose movie and TV career spanned over 60 years, married in 1928 at age 21 just to get money for her career. The marriage ended in divorce in 1934 after only six years and by her own choice she never had any children. Shortly after her divorce, she entered into adulterous relationships with her married agent, [[Leland Hayward]] as well as with [[Howard Hughes]] and [[Spencer Tracy]], the latter for 26 years until Tracy's death in 1967. The only "respect" Katharine had for Spencer's marriage to fellow actress Louise Treadwell was that she avoided his funeral since Treadwell and their children would be there.
*[[John Huston]], known for his multi roles in ''The Bible: In The Beginning'' (1966) as the film's director, narrator, [[Noah]] and [[God]]'s voice, was married five times but had affairs in all his marriages, the fourth of who was the only one ending in death-his fourth wife's in 1969.
*[[Lana Turner]] Seven of her eight of her marriages ended in divorce and one in [[annulment]]. Two of them (her second & third) were to the same man, Steven Crane.
*[[Larry King]] (real name Lawrence Zeiger) has been married eight (8) times to seven (7) different women.
*Orenthal James, "O.J.", Simpson, cheated on his first wife, Marguerite L. Whitley, with Nicole Brown, who he met in 1977 while still married to Whitley and with whom he would be charged with spousal abuse of and eventually divorced from in 1992, two years before Brown's and her companion's murders in 1994 that he would be charged with, acquitted of in 1995 but found civilly liable in 1997 for both deaths and ordered to pay $33.5 million to hers and her companion's, Ronald Goldmans', families.
*Elizabeth Taylor has been married eight (8) times, including a nearly 6-year marriage to [[John Warner|Senator John Warner]] (R-VA). Taylor was married to and divorced twice from [[Richard Burton]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000072/bio "Elizabeth Taylor biography"] (2004 or bef.). Internet Movie Data Base website.</ref>
*Spencer Tracy, best known as Father Flannigan in both ''[[Boys Town]]'' films (1938 and 1941) and also for the pro- [[evolution]] ''[[Inherit the Wind]]'' (1960) and post [[World War II]] courtroom drama ''[[Judgment at Nuremberg]]'' (1961), was married to Louise Ten Broeck Treadwell from 1923-his death in 1967 but engaged in affairs with [[Joan Crawford]], [[Ingrid Bergman]] and his longest one with [[Katharine Hepburn]] until his death, claiming his "devout Catholic faith" was why he never got or sought a divorce from Treadwell.
*Valerie Bertinelli said her divorce from [[Eddie Van Halen]] was caused by infidelity and drug use—by both spouses. She said she was "destroying my body," trying to keep up with a rock-star lifestyle.<ref>Associated Press (February 26, 2008).

*Magda Gabor, oldest sister of both Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor, was married six times, divorced four, annulled once and whose fourth marriage (to Tony Gallucci in 1956) was the only one ending in death-Gallucci's in 1957. Magda never had any children.
*Zsa Zsa Gabor, middle sister of the Gabor acting family, has been married nine times. Her second marriage-to Hilton Hotels magnate Conrad Hilton from 1942-1947-was the only one where she (the only Gabor sister to do so) had any children (one with Hilton). One of her marriages—to Felipe de Alba in 1983—was annulled after one day. Her most recent (9th) marriage to Frederic Prinz von Anhalt in 1986 was the only one ending in death-hers on December 18, 2016 at age 99.

=== Hollywood actor Dan Aykroyd on bestiality ===

''See also:'' [[Liberalism and bestiality]]

{{cquote| "I draw the line at bestiality because it’s unfair to the dog or the cat. ''' If the dog or the cat had consciousness, then that’d be OK with me.''' Sexuality has nothing to do with morality."<ref>Westen, John-Henry (September 16, 2008).

LifeSite website/News.</ref>}}

== Hollywood "humor" ==
Another manifestation of Hollywood's offensiveness and moral depravity is found in many of its "comedy" movies and television programs. More so than any other entertainment industry, many Hollywood productions rely on lowbrow, juvenile humor. Unlike more intelligent comedies of the early to mid-20th century (such as ''The Great Dictator'' or ''Arsenic and Old Lace''), many contemporary Hollywood comedies eschew intelligence, social commentary, wit or satire in favor of lower-hanging fruit, such as "toilet humor," nudity/sex, profanity, gratuitous violence and shock value. Examples of such films include:

*''American Pie'' — a long-running film franchise primarily dealing with teenage sex and alcohol; it relies on jokes about sex and bodily functions.
*''[[Jackass]]'' — These films are essentially montages of ridiculous stunts and pranks with no coherent stories.
*''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' 1990s MTV series and its 1996 [[movie]] adaptation, "Beavis and Butthead Do America", make fun of injuries and their related suffering and, in the movie version, "moon" (expose their buttockses to) nuns.
* Mel Brooks' ''History of The World Part I'' (1981) makes fun of, among other things, the Dawn of Man by showing cavemen breaking their own feet to make "music" from the resulting screams and creating the first [[homosexual marriage]], the [[Old Testament]]'s [[Moses]] bringing the [[Ten Commandments]] to the Israelites by literally breaking the extra five, many sex jokes and a mockery of the [[Last Supper]] in its [[Roman Empire]] segment, mockery of the sufferings of [[Jews]] in its [[Spanish Inquisition]] segment and shows France's King Louis XVI (played by Brooks) in its [[French Revolution]] segment using real humans as skeet targets for his target practice games, while hypocritically saying, "I detest violence".
* TV sitcoms ''All In The Family'' and its first spinoff, ''Maude'', included controversial subjects in an often depressing way. ''Maude'' for example, had its title character getting an [[abortion]] in its first year. Later sitcoms ''Married With Children'', ''Roseanne'', ''The Simpsons'' (latter is still running since its December 1989 pilot debut), ''South Park'', ''Family Guy'' and ''According to Jim'' are also full of such humor.
* ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' may be seen by some as offensive humor due to its unreal depiction of [[Nazi]] POW camps during [[World War II]]. However, Werner Klemperer (who played Colonel Klink) was born in Germany to a Jewish father; his family was able to emigrate to the United States before World War II started, and he refused to accept the role unless Klink was portrayed as an unsuccessful fool.
* ''[[South Park]]'' — uses constant iterations of urine, feces, farting and shock humor, such as jokes about [[abortion]], [[rape]] and the [[Holocaust]].
*''There's Something About Mary'' — contains gratuitous sex and jokes about bodily functions.
*''[[Family Guy]]'' — notorious for its shock tactics, this show routinely employs willful tastelessness for comedic shock value. Examples include one regular character who is a pedophile, a pet dog who drinks as well as constant Hitler jokes.
*''Cheech and Chong'' films star the original "pot pair".
*''Harold and Kumar'' films - the adventures of an Asian pot-smoking duo that play up ethnic stereotypes, à la Cheech & Chong.
*''[[Dogma]]'' — a movie that makes fun of the Bible and religion.
* Lowbrow comedy film series' like ''Porky's'', ''Vacation'' ([[Chevy Chase]], Beverly D'Angelo), ''Police Academy'', ''Bachelor Party'' and ''Revenge of The Nerds'' pics are full of all of the above.
* ''Heathers''<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097493/ "Heathers"] (2015 or bef.) Internet Movie Data Base website.</ref> — a pathetically grim 1989 teen comedy featuring [[public school]] high schoolers killing other students and making their deaths look like suicides.
*''Delgo'' Relatively tame, with some humor aimed at bodily functions.

== Rehabilitation clinics ==

Hollywood values often result in [[Celebrity|celebrities]] going into rehabilitation clinics. Here are some examples:

== Hypocrisy ==

Hollywood personalities often propose legislation such as outlawing private gun ownership, or speak out against things such as anti-gun laws, but have at the same time acted in movies contrary to their own public opinions:

* [[George Clooney]] on hearing that fellow actor and gun-rights advocate, [[Charlton Heston]], suffers from Alzheimer's disease, said: ''"I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the [[National Rifle Association]]. He deserves whatever anyone says about him."''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080105122441/http://www.funnyreign.com/quotes-georgeclooney.shtml "George Clooney quotes"] (2005 or bef.)

* [[Mark Wahlberg]] upon meeting Charlton Heston on the set of 2001's remake of ''Planet of the Apes'', Wahlberg rudely told Heston, "It was very disturbing meeting you." Later, Wahlberg would have this to say at the MTV Movie Awards: ''"I believe Charlton Heston is America's best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association."''<ref>Codrea, David (2001).

* The [[Toyota Prius]]: Many celebrities will often be seen driving a Prius when in the public eye but drive a supercar such as a [[Porsche]] or [[Ferrari]] when they believe people are not watching.

==Vanity and [[Idol]] Worship==

==Award Shows==
Fans of Hollywood are served copious amounts of vanity and glamour as celebrities are greeted on the red-carpet attending award events. Paparazzi snap pictures and the stars are rated for their appearance in various tabloids and entertainment television. Once the celebrities have arrived at the awards, television cameras capture for the masses acceptance speeches of their beloved stars. Once limited to couple of banquets such as the [[Emmy Award|Emmys]] or [[Golden Globe]]s, now some two-dozen award shows are vying for exposure. These new award shows offer glimpses into ego and moral depravity of Hollywood. It's not uncommon for the stars to act cool by cussing to the audience during acceptance speeches. These awards shows have become tawdry events that are marketed mostly to teens.

==Preying on Underage Stars==

Very many child actors and actresses have gone on to have damaged and tragically short lives as a result of early exposure to Hollywood Values.

Debbie Gibson reflects on her life as a sixteen-year-old teenage Pop star and her exposure to the very sinister side of show business. “It is very disheartening that there are so many older men that prey on young performers.” What is even more disturbing than dirty male fans would be older male record executives trying to take her to adult parties and corrupt her with alcohol.

=== Reality show participants ===
[[MTV]] is notorious for filming underage participants in reality shows. The pressure of instant fame with people in trying circumstances to begin with, the off-camera news starts to creep more into the media. Arrests, suicide attempts, drugs and rehab are just some of the issues involving reality stars personal lives. Legal contracts with the network spell out MTV's rights to exploit their situations on the show. Psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere. “In this country the media rewards bad behavior with more attention, thus more bad behavior is manifested because it is reinforced and rewarded." <ref>Piazza, Jo (June 17, 2011).

==Productions==
The diseased moral values of the Liberal-dominated entertainment industry are manifested all too clearly in many of the products of that industry—[[motion pictures]], television programs, [[music]], [[magazine]]s and [[novel]]s that offer no edification or instruction to the viewer, but plumb a cesspit of license and depravity. Some recent examples include the television series ''Desperate Housewives'', ''Delgo'', and ''Sex and the City'''s TV series' and movies.

==Religion==

These actors have had successful careers and it is very likely that religious affiliation in regular actors is much lower, exposing or predisposing them to the influence of Hollywood values. [[David Lynch]], for example, is apathetic towards all [[politics]] and [[religions]] and prefers [[transcendental meditation]] instead.

Hooker'', said in an interview in [[People magazine|''People'']] Magazine's June 20, 1983 issue that his rigid upbringing by his [[Romania]]n [[Orthodox Church]] arch [[priest]] father caused him to play rebellious juvenile delinquent and greaser roles (ex. "Danny Zucko" in [[Broadway]]'s long running earlier 1970's started stage musical, ''[[Grease]]'', "Socks Palermo" in television's short lived 1979 sitcom, "Flatbush" and the head T-Bird "Johnny Nogerelli" in the 1982 sequel [[movie]] ''Grease 2'') as a relief from "having a [[Father]] who is *your* [[father]]", and had also said in the same interview "Preachers kids have a sense of rebellion in them". ''Once Bitten'' (1985 teen [[vampire]] 'comedy') has its "Countess" (Lauren Hutton) lead character saying to her male target's girlfriend that "the [[cross]] won't 'work on me' (keep vampires away) cause I'm an [[atheist]], but having sex will". The following year's (1986) teen romantic drama, ''Fire with Fire'', shows the [[nun]]s at the [[Roman Catholic]] [[convent]] school that the lead actress' teenage character is attending making religion, ex.
[[Christianity]], look bad.

[[Scientology]] is practiced by many Hollywood personalities. [[Tom Cruise]], [[Kirstie Alley]] and [[John Travolta]] are perhaps the most well-known Hollywood Scientologists.

Hollywood values

2019-04-13T17:41:06Z

Mild: /* Disrespect for marriage */

[[File:Hollywood-sign wikimedia.jpg|right|200px]]
'''Hollywood "values"''' are characterized by public obscenities, decadence, [[narcissism]], hypocrisy, rampant [[drug|drug use]], [[adultery|extramarital sex]] leading to the spread of sexually-transmitted [[disease]], [[abortion]], lawlessness and the promotion of the [[homosexual agenda]]. Such values have a very negative influence on the life of individuals, and very often lead to death. A 2006 poll by MSNBC said that 60% of [[Americans]] agree that "Hollywood's values are not in line with the rest of America and that the quality of movies has diminished in recent years."<ref>MSNBC.com (March 8, 2006). [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11714540 "Hollywood values out of touch, poll says".] Today.com [NBC News]. Accessed March 30, 2014. 17,000 person poll by MSNBC. See [[MSNBC]]</ref>

The lack of [[morals]] and difference of [[values]] in [[Hollywood]] culture has been destroying the fabric of American culture, particularly the family.

==Conflict over values==
There have been, however, a handful of prominent people whose work in Hollywood opposed these values. [[Charlton Heston]], [[Jim Caviezel]], Ricardo Montalban, [[Ronald Reagan]], [[James Stewart]], [[Pat Boone]], Paul Schofield, Lisa Whelchel (who played ''The Facts of Life'' character Blair Warner, but refused a role where she would be the first of Eastland's girls to become a non-virgin), [[Walt Disney]], Jodi Benson, and many others practiced conservative values while working in Hollywood and the productions of these and many others also reflect these values, irrespective of the names associated with them: ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' and ''Independence Day'' (a 1996 movie about the United States being attacked by hostile alien invaders on [[Independence Day]]) being recent examples.

Although the social elite and studio executives of Hollywood may have held different values than [[Real America|Main Street America]], the disparity was hidden from the public. First, many film studios and actors hired publicity agents to control what lifestyle facts became known to the public. Certain personal indiscretions were considered "off-limits" to journalists and not generally reported, such as [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s connection to various [[organized crime]] and political figures (including [[JFK]]).

Second, both the film studios and the television networks had codes of acceptable content. Actors who were living by Hollywood values were creating films and television programs that carefully avoid sexually explicit themes or foul language. For example, the code required that if a married couple were to be shown in a bedroom scene, they would have twin beds and would be wearing [[pajamas]].

Third, after the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled that the [[First Amendment]] protected certain forms of literature and motion pictures that were previously considered [[pornographic]] in ''Miller v. California'' in 1973, the case law developed that applied local community standards when deciding whether a particular work was to be protected. This had the effect of decoupling national values from Hollywood values and started a race to the lowest common denominator.

Finally, over time, the media has shifted from being concentrated to being dispersed. The three major television networks ([[ABC]], [[CBS]] and [[NBC]]) shifted to thousands of cable channels, and the adoption of the Internet by the general public made controlling the spread of news and the fabrication of false public images by movie studios impossible. As a result, tabloid journalism and [[reality television]] spread the full impact of the Hollywood lifestyle throughout American culture.

==Description==

Hollywood values include a flagrant disrespect and disregard for:

* [[abstinence]], [[marriage]] and [[fidelity]]
* [[patriotism]]
* [[religion]] and [[spirituality]] (Hollywood's profits depend on the [[advertising]] and sale of [[materialism|material goods]] and other superficial "solutions" to problems.)
* [[accountability]]
* the [[military]]<ref>[http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/editorials/hollywood_gets_it_right_p4d84a9jyymsfLw0THb7EM "Hollywood gets it right"] (March 9, 2010). ''New York Post''.</ref>
* family responsibilities, like childrearing<ref>Li, David K. (February 13, 2008). [http://www.nypost.com/seven/02132008/news/nationalnews/brit_doesnt_want_her_kids__1st_ex_97425.htm "Brit doesn't want her kids: 1st ex"]. New York Post website. See [[Britney Spears]].</ref>
* laws that apply to everyone else
* commonly accepted behavioral boundaries and values of human decency
* hard work and humility

In addition, Hollywood portrays these values as rebellious and [[counterculture|countercultural]]. They portray religious and spiritual institutions as greedy, self-serving, sexually perverted, prejudiced, ignorant, and unscientific. When comparing the satisfaction brought about by faith, spirituality, family, and friendship, which may happen to include donations to a church or other organization, it is clear that the profits of Hollywood and the industries which rely upon Hollywood for profit are the true establishment—thus making traditional values truly rebellious and countercultural, and Hollywood values a lie.

*''The Iron Lady''
: Meryl Streep plays [[Margaret Thatcher]] in this gross mistake of a film. Liberals distort her triumphs and her low career points.

The bias was clear, make Tillman a liberal atheist anti-war hero that was cannon-fodder for the government.

*Films based on the [[Matthew Shepard]] fallacy.
:Adherents to Hollywood values "green-lighted a troika of [[Matthew Shepard]] movies after he was senselessly killed because it affirmed their gut feeling that a homosexual young man living in backward America is destined for death at the hands of hateful ultraconservatives. A street in West Hollywood still stands in his name despite ABC News reporting the story false: He was killed by crazed meth addicts for drugs and money—not because of his homosexuality (in fact, one of his killers had himself been homosexual). Isn't that tragic enough? Yet Shepard is still the icon of homosexual victims' rights, and the mistaken story of his 'fate' soon thereafter befell Jake Gyllenhaal's character in ''Brokeback Mountain.'' The Oscar statuette stands as the exclamation point."<ref>Breitbart, Andrew (September 26, 2007).

:Hollywood perpetuated complete lies about the [[Scopes Trial]] in order to smear Christianity, including:

:*falsely claiming that at the end Bryan, in a senseless fit of madness, died in the courtroom amid caring and reasonable Darwinists

:*falsely portraying the Darwinists in a positive light and the Christians as deceitful

:In real life, Bryan and the Christians won the trial and were charitable to the end, while the Darwinist Darrow was deceitful in reneging on his deal to take the witness stand after Bryan did.

*''U 571''
:The 2000 film ''U 571'' had a plot which was based on the first capture of a German Enigma machine in [[World War 2]]. However, in the film the capture is made by Americans. In fact the first Enigma machine was captured by the British in 1941 prior to the Americans entering the war.

*''Recount''
:The 2008 [[HBO]] movie on the 2000 Presidential elections and its aftermath in Florida. A look into how the [[Republicans]] stole the election and the role of its party members that made it happen.

*''Million Dollar Baby''
:A 2004 [[Clint Eastwood]] pro-[[euthanasia]] film in which Eastwood euthanasies his boxing trainee at her request after she suffered a crippling blow from her opponent that left her incurable. Especially controversial since 2005 when real life [[Terri Schiavo]] was euthanasied by her husband.

*''[[Kinsey]]''
:Also 2004. A Bill Condon film depicting the life of fraudulent sex researcher [[Alfred Kinsey]]. Especially anti-Christian in early scenes' portrayals of Christians as narrow-minded, hypocritical, mean-spirited and stingy. Normalizes all forms of illicit sex, esp. homosexual (of which Condon is an activist for), which resulted in the current [[venereal disease]] epidemics (i.e. [[AIDS]]), widespread [[abortion]], [[divorce]], [[pornography]], sex crimes, unmarried parenting and related urban poverty and violence by irresponsible parents.

*''[[Brokeback Mountain]]''
:2005. Like ''[[Kinsey]]'', it's also extremely graphic and pro-homosexual in its story of an off and on "romance" between two rural [[Wyoming]] cowboys during the 1960s-1980s.

*''Fahrenheit 911''
:A [[Michael Moore]] film that was a false portrayal of why America fought a war against [[Saddam Hussein]]'s Iraq. The main theme was to attack [[George W. Bush]] during wartime.

==Disrespect for marriage==

''See also:'' [[Atheism and marriage]] and [[Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity]]

Many celebrities and other exponents of Hollywood Values have no respect for the sanctity of marriage—their own or anyone else's. This is manifested in a high rate of marriage breakdown, and by the home-wrecking activities of the promiscuous, whose moral outlooks have been distorted by liberal and atheistic teachings.
*Bonnie Lee Bakely was married ten times, divorced four, annulled five and her last marriage (to Robert Blake) was the only one ending in death—hers in 2001.
*Marion Barry, [[Washington D.C.]]'s second ever mayor after Walter Washington, best known for his videotaped crack bust in 1990, first three marriages ended in divorce, including the one to Effi Slaughter, his third wife with whom he had his only child and was married to when he was in the videotape with a model. His fourth marriage to Cora Masters when the one to Effi ended was the only one that ended in death-his in 2014.
*Ingrid Bergman, Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''The Bells Of St. Mary's'' (1945). In 1950, Ingrid, who was married to fellow Swede, Peter Lindstrom, had an affair with director Roberto Rosellini while in Italy filming his direction of the movie, ''Stromboli'' (1950) and remained there after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused her to be blacklisted from U.S. films and denounced from pulpits as "an agent of evil" until her U.S. comeback in ''Anastasia'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like the one to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage afterwards to Lars Schmidt (1958-1978), four years before her death in 1982.
*[[Michael Bloomberg]], New York City's mayor from 2002-2013 who continued his predecessor Giuliani's zero-tolerance and "stop and frisk" policies towards street crimes divorced his former wife in 1993 after 18 years of marriage and two children and is now living with his domestic partner Diana Taylor since 2000.
*[[Humphrey Bogart]], His first three marriages ended in divorce and his fourth (to [[Lauren Bacall]]) was the only one ending in death—his in 1957, age 51.
*Joan Crawford (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] [[idol]], was married and divorced three times and named as the 'other woman' in at least one affair with a married man. Her fourth and last marriage to [[PepsiCo, Inc|Pepsi Company]]'s president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When Joan died in 1977, her public disinheriting of her two oldest remaining adopted children from her $2M estate "for reasons that should be well known to them" was said to have caused her oldest daughter, Christina, to write her best-selling book ''Mommie Dearest'' (1978, adapted into film in 1981), which alleged a lifetime of [[Adultery|extramarital affairs]], [[alcoholism]] and selfishness-based [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. Unfortunately, like her adoptive mother, Christina also got married and divorced three times in her own lifetime.
*[[Cecil B. DeMille]], despite his direction of popular Biblical epics, committed [[adultery]] during his marriage to Constance Adams that, surprisingly, lasted until his death in 1959, age 77.
*Frances Farmer, who was the subject of a 1982 biopic starring Jessica Lange (who herself adopted Frances' lifestyle into her own real life), as a [[public school]]er in 1931 denied God in a controversial award-winning high school essay called ''God Dies'' and in 1935, visited the [[USSR]], was also popular in the 1930s to the point of being considered "the next [[Greta Garbo]]", had three marriages at least two of whom ended in divorce, with extramarital affairs during at least one that included one with married play writer Clifford Odets. She also had a then-illegal [[abortion]] which left her sterile; the guilt of which caused her to avoid all contact with children. In 1958, however, when she moved to [[Indianapolis]] (she died there in 1970 at age 56), a friend's child whispered to her "I love you because you're good", something that nobody ever said or maybe even thought about her before. Soon afterwards, she went to St. [[Joan of Arc]] Catholic Church in where she went to [[confession]] of all her sins and took up classes about and in 1959 was baptized into the Catholic faith, turning away from her former lifestyle.
*[[Greta Garbo]] shunned marriage for herself altogether but instead engaged in numerous affairs with married men.
*[[Ava Gardner]] was married and divorced three times between 1942-1957 and cheated during the marriages. During her marriage to Frank Sinatra (1951-1957, her last), she got pregnant twice and aborted both children because MGM had all sorts of penalty clauses about their stars having babies.
*[[Judy Garland]], best known for her "Dorothy Gale" role in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1939) had five marriages, the first four ended in divorce, the last ended only three months later in her death in 1969 from a barbiturate overdose at age 46.
*[[Rudolph Giuliani]], [[New York City]]'s law and order mayor from 1994-2001, was married three times, the first to Regina Peruggi from 1968-1983 until he found that she was his second cousin. During his second marriage (1984-2002) to local television personality Donna Hanover, he had affairs with his press secretary, Christyne Lategano, and with Judith Nathan, even providing Nathan with police escorted chauffeuring services and bringing her to Gracie Manson. In 2002, his divorce from Hanover was finalized and he married Nathan in 2003, making it Nathan's third marriage after two previous divorces. In 2018, Nathan filed for divorce from Giuliani, who is currently dating Republican fundraiser Jennifer LeBlanc.
*Florence Henderson, despite her wholesome ''Carol Brady'' image on ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'', had an affair with then future New York City mayor John Lindsay in the 1960's during her first marriage to Ira Bernstein with whom she had all four of her children. She said Lindsay gave her crab lice. She divorced Bernstein in 1985 after 29 years and married John Kappas in 1987, which lasted until his death in 2002.
*[[Katharine Hepburn]], whose movie and TV career spanned over 60 years, married in 1928 at age 21 just to get money for her career. The marriage ended in divorce in 1934 after only six years and by her own choice she never had any children. Shortly after her divorce, she entered into adulterous relationships with her married agent, [[Leland Hayward]] as well as with [[Howard Hughes]] and [[Spencer Tracy]], the latter for 26 years until Tracy's death in 1967. The only "respect" Katharine had for Spencer's marriage to fellow actress Louise Treadwell was that she avoided his funeral since Treadwell and their children would be there.
*[[John Huston]], known for his multi roles in ''The Bible: In The Beginning'' (1966) as the film's director, narrator, [[Noah]] and [[God]]'s voice, was married five times but had affairs in all his marriages, the fourth of who was the only one ending in death-his fourth wife's in 1969.
*[[Lana Turner]] Seven of her eight of her marriages ended in divorce and one in [[annulment]]. Two of them (her second & third) were to the same man, Steven Crane.
*[[Larry King]] (real name Lawrence Zeiger) has been married eight (8) times to seven (7) different women.
*Orenthal James, "O.J.", Simpson, cheated on his first wife, Marguerite L. Whitley, with Nicole Brown, who he met in 1977 while still married to Whitley and with whom he would be charged with spousal abuse of and eventually divorced from in 1992, two years before Brown's and her companion's murders in 1994 that he would be charged with, acquitted of in 1995 but found civilly liable in 1997 for both deaths and ordered to pay $33.5 million to hers and her companion's, Ronald Goldmans', families.
*Elizabeth Taylor has been married eight (8) times, including a nearly 6-year marriage to [[John Warner|Senator John Warner]] (R-VA). Taylor was married to and divorced twice from [[Richard Burton]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000072/bio "Elizabeth Taylor biography"] (2004 or bef.). Internet Movie Data Base website.</ref>
*Spencer Tracy, best known as Father Flannigan in both ''[[Boys Town]]'' films (1938 and 1941) and also for the pro- [[evolution]] ''[[Inherit the Wind]]'' (1960) and post [[World War II]] courtroom drama ''[[Judgment at Nuremberg]]'' (1961), was married to Louise Ten Broeck Treadwell from 1923-his death in 1967 but engaged in affairs with [[Joan Crawford]], [[Ingrid Bergman]] and his longest one with [[Katharine Hepburn]] until his death, claiming his "devout Catholic faith" was why he never got or sought a divorce from Treadwell.

She said she was "destroying my body," trying to keep up with a rock-star lifestyle.<ref>Associated Press (February 26, 2008).

*Jolie Gabor, mother of the acting family of Magda, Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor, and an actress herself, was twice divorced before her third marriage (to Count Edmond de Szigethy in 1957) was the only one lasting until death-his (de Szigethy's) in 1989.
*Magda Gabor, oldest sister of both Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor, was married six times, divorced four, annulled once and whose fourth marriage (to Tony Gallucci in 1956) was the only one ending in death-Gallucci's in 1957. Magda never had any children.
*Zsa Zsa Gabor, middle sister of the Gabor acting family, has been married nine times. Her second marriage-to Hilton Hotels magnate Conrad Hilton from 1942-1947-was the only one where she (the only Gabor sister to do so) had any children (one with Hilton). One of her marriages—to Felipe de Alba in 1983—was annulled after one day. Her most recent (9th) marriage to Frederic Prinz von Anhalt in 1986 was the only one ending in death-hers on December 18, 2016 at age 99.
*Eva Gabor, youngest sister of both Magda and Zsa Zsa, was married and divorced five times and had extramarital affairs with [[Frank Sinatra]] among others. Eva, like her sister Magda, never had any children.

*[[Larry Flynt]]'s first three marriages ended in divorce, his fourth marriage was the only one ending in [[widow]]ment (his by Althea's death in 1987) and his current one to Elizabeth Berrios in 1998 was when his daughter, Toyna, published her book ''Hustled'' in which she claims she was sexually abused as a child by him and has since been disowned when she became a [[Christian]] and anti-[[pornography]] [[activist]].
*In 2009, the married [[David Letterman]] admitted to having had adulterous sexual relationships with multiple members of his staff; he had previously fathered a child out of wedlock.
*[[Jayne Mansfield]] was married three times and had numerous extramarital affairs. She appeared in the centerfold of the pornographic magazine ''Playboy'', and died in 1967 at 42 in an automobile accident that was said to have been brought on by a curse placed by [[Satanist]] [[Anton LaVey]] on her lover, [[Sam Brody]], who was driving at the time and had also died, after expressing his hate for LaVey's cult.

=== Hollywood actor Dan Aykroyd on bestiality ===

Sexuality has nothing to do with morality."<ref>Westen, John-Henry (September 16, 2008).

LifeSite website/News.</ref>}}

== Hollywood "humor" ==
Another manifestation of Hollywood's offensiveness and moral depravity is found in many of its "comedy" movies and television programs. More so than any other entertainment industry, many Hollywood productions rely on lowbrow, juvenile humor. Unlike more intelligent comedies of the early to mid-20th century (such as ''The Great Dictator'' or ''Arsenic and Old Lace''), many contemporary Hollywood comedies eschew intelligence, social commentary, wit or satire in favor of lower-hanging fruit, such as "toilet humor," nudity/sex, profanity, gratuitous violence and shock value. Examples of such films include:

*''American Pie'' — a long-running film franchise primarily dealing with teenage sex and alcohol; it relies on jokes about sex and bodily functions.
*''[[Jackass]]'' — These films are essentially montages of ridiculous stunts and pranks with no coherent stories.
*''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' 1990s MTV series and its 1996 [[movie]] adaptation, "Beavis and Butthead Do America", make fun of injuries and their related suffering and, in the movie version, "moon" (expose their buttockses to) nuns.
* Mel Brooks' ''History of The World Part I'' (1981) makes fun of, among other things, the Dawn of Man by showing cavemen breaking their own feet to make "music" from the resulting screams and creating the first [[homosexual marriage]], the [[Old Testament]]'s [[Moses]] bringing the [[Ten Commandments]] to the Israelites by literally breaking the extra five, many sex jokes and a mockery of the [[Last Supper]] in its [[Roman Empire]] segment, mockery of the sufferings of [[Jews]] in its [[Spanish Inquisition]] segment and shows France's King Louis XVI (played by Brooks) in its [[French Revolution]] segment using real humans as skeet targets for his target practice games, while hypocritically saying, "I detest violence".
* TV sitcoms ''All In The Family'' and its first spinoff, ''Maude'', included controversial subjects in an often depressing way. ''Maude'' for example, had its title character getting an [[abortion]] in its first year. Later sitcoms ''Married With Children'', ''Roseanne'', ''The Simpsons'' (latter is still running since its December 1989 pilot debut), ''South Park'', ''Family Guy'' and ''According to Jim'' are also full of such humor.
* ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' may be seen by some as offensive humor due to its unreal depiction of [[Nazi]] POW camps during [[World War II]]. However, Werner Klemperer (who played Colonel Klink) was born in Germany to a Jewish father; his family was able to emigrate to the United States before World War II started, and he refused to accept the role unless Klink was portrayed as an unsuccessful fool.
* ''[[South Park]]'' — uses constant iterations of urine, feces, farting and shock humor, such as jokes about [[abortion]], [[rape]] and the [[Holocaust]].
*''There's Something About Mary'' — contains gratuitous sex and jokes about bodily functions.
*''[[Family Guy]]'' — notorious for its shock tactics, this show routinely employs willful tastelessness for comedic shock value. Examples include one regular character who is a pedophile, a pet dog who drinks as well as constant Hitler jokes.
*''Cheech and Chong'' films star the original "pot pair".
*''Harold and Kumar'' films - the adventures of an Asian pot-smoking duo that play up ethnic stereotypes, à la Cheech & Chong.
*''[[Dogma]]'' — a movie that makes fun of the Bible and religion.
* Lowbrow comedy film series' like ''Porky's'', ''Vacation'' ([[Chevy Chase]], Beverly D'Angelo), ''Police Academy'', ''Bachelor Party'' and ''Revenge of The Nerds'' pics are full of all of the above.
* ''Heathers''<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097493/ "Heathers"] (2015 or bef.) Internet Movie Data Base website.</ref> — a pathetically grim 1989 teen comedy featuring [[public school]] high schoolers killing other students and making their deaths look like suicides.
*''Delgo'' Relatively tame, with some humor aimed at bodily functions.

== Rehabilitation clinics ==

Hollywood values often result in [[Celebrity|celebrities]] going into rehabilitation clinics. Here are some examples:

== Hypocrisy ==

Hollywood personalities often propose legislation such as outlawing private gun ownership, or speak out against things such as anti-gun laws, but have at the same time acted in movies contrary to their own public opinions:

* [[George Clooney]] on hearing that fellow actor and gun-rights advocate, [[Charlton Heston]], suffers from Alzheimer's disease, said: ''"I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the [[National Rifle Association]]. He deserves whatever anyone says about him."''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080105122441/http://www.funnyreign.com/quotes-georgeclooney.shtml "George Clooney quotes"] (2005 or bef.)

* [[Mark Wahlberg]] upon meeting Charlton Heston on the set of 2001's remake of ''Planet of the Apes'', Wahlberg rudely told Heston, "It was very disturbing meeting you." Later, Wahlberg would have this to say at the MTV Movie Awards: ''"I believe Charlton Heston is America's best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association."''<ref>Codrea, David (2001).

* [[Helen Mirren]] played Queen Elizabeth II in 2006's movie ''The Queen'', but [https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,414361,00.html admits she used to use cocaine] as a result of her poor life choices as a younger woman.

* The [[Toyota Prius]]: Many celebrities will often be seen driving a Prius when in the public eye but drive a supercar such as a [[Porsche]] or [[Ferrari]] when they believe people are not watching.

==Award Shows==
Fans of Hollywood are served copious amounts of vanity and glamour as celebrities are greeted on the red-carpet attending award events. Paparazzi snap pictures and the stars are rated for their appearance in various tabloids and entertainment television. Once the celebrities have arrived at the awards, television cameras capture for the masses acceptance speeches of their beloved stars. Once limited to couple of banquets such as the [[Emmy Award|Emmys]] or [[Golden Globe]]s, now some two-dozen award shows are vying for exposure. These new award shows offer glimpses into ego and moral depravity of Hollywood. It's not uncommon for the stars to act cool by cussing to the audience during acceptance speeches. These awards shows have become tawdry events that are marketed mostly to teens.

==Preying on Underage Stars==

Very many child actors and actresses have gone on to have damaged and tragically short lives as a result of early exposure to Hollywood Values.

=== Reality show participants ===
[[MTV]] is notorious for filming underage participants in reality shows. The pressure of instant fame with people in trying circumstances to begin with, the off-camera news starts to creep more into the media. Arrests, suicide attempts, drugs and rehab are just some of the issues involving reality stars personal lives. Legal contracts with the network spell out MTV's rights to exploit their situations on the show. Psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere. “In this country the media rewards bad behavior with more attention, thus more bad behavior is manifested because it is reinforced and rewarded." <ref>Piazza, Jo (June 17, 2011). [https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/06/17/is-mtv-repsonsible-when-at-risk-girls-it-exploits-go-off-deep-end/#ixzz1PYwX10oc "Is MTV responsible when at-risk teens it features go off the deep end?"] Fox News website/Fox 411/TV.</ref>

==Productions==
The diseased moral values of the Liberal-dominated entertainment industry are manifested all too clearly in many of the products of that industry—[[motion pictures]], television programs, [[music]], [[magazine]]s and [[novel]]s that offer no edification or instruction to the viewer, but plumb a cesspit of license and depravity. Some recent examples include the television series ''Desperate Housewives'', ''Delgo'', and ''Sex and the City'''s TV series' and movies.

==Religion==
A short study of the ten most successful actors <ref>Johnson, Bryan (July 15, 2009). [http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-most-successful-actors-at-the-box-office.php "Top 10 most successful actors at the box office"]. TopTenz website/Entertainment/Movies & Television/People.</ref> shows that only 50% are Christian (compared to 76% for the general population), with 30% expressing no religious beliefs at all (compared to 15% in the general public). These actors have had successful careers and it is very likely that religious affiliation in regular actors is much lower, exposing or predisposing them to the influence of Hollywood values. [[David Lynch]], for example, is apathetic towards all [[politics]] and [[religions]] and prefers [[transcendental meditation]] instead. Adrian Zmed, 1980s [[teen idol]] who starred alongside [[William Shatner]] in the 1980s police drama, ''T.J. Hooker'', said in an interview in [[People magazine|''People'']] Magazine's June 20, 1983 issue that his rigid upbringing by his [[Romania]]n [[Orthodox Church]] arch [[priest]] father caused him to play rebellious juvenile delinquent and greaser roles (ex. "Danny Zucko" in [[Broadway]]'s long running earlier 1970's started stage musical, ''[[Grease]]'', "Socks Palermo" in television's short lived 1979 sitcom, "Flatbush" and the head T-Bird "Johnny Nogerelli" in the 1982 sequel [[movie]] ''Grease 2'') as a relief from "having a [[Father]] who is *your* [[father]]", and had also said in the same interview "Preachers kids have a sense of rebellion in them". ''Once Bitten'' (1985 teen [[vampire]] 'comedy') has its "Countess" (Lauren Hutton) lead character saying to her male target's girlfriend that "the [[cross]] won't 'work on me' (keep vampires away) cause I'm an [[atheist]], but having sex will". The following year's (1986) teen romantic drama, ''Fire with Fire'', shows the [[nun]]s at the [[Roman Catholic]] [[convent]] school that the lead actress' teenage character is attending making religion, ex.
[[Christianity]], look bad.

[[Scientology]] is practiced by many Hollywood personalities. [[Tom Cruise]], [[Kirstie Alley]] and [[John Travolta]] are perhaps the most well-known Hollywood Scientologists.

Hollywood values

2019-04-13T17:35:35Z

Mild: /* Disrespect for marriage */

[[File:Hollywood-sign wikimedia.jpg|right|200px]]
'''Hollywood "values"''' are characterized by public obscenities, decadence, [[narcissism]], hypocrisy, rampant [[drug|drug use]], [[adultery|extramarital sex]] leading to the spread of sexually-transmitted [[disease]], [[abortion]], lawlessness and the promotion of the [[homosexual agenda]]. Such values have a very negative influence on the life of individuals, and very often lead to death. A 2006 poll by MSNBC said that 60% of [[Americans]] agree that "Hollywood's values are not in line with the rest of America and that the quality of movies has diminished in recent years."<ref>MSNBC.com (March 8, 2006). [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11714540 "Hollywood values out of touch, poll says".] Today.com [NBC News]. Accessed March 30, 2014. 17,000 person poll by MSNBC. See [[MSNBC]]</ref>

The lack of [[morals]] and difference of [[values]] in [[Hollywood]] culture has been destroying the fabric of American culture, particularly the family.

==Conflict over values==
There have been, however, a handful of prominent people whose work in Hollywood opposed these values. [[Charlton Heston]], [[Jim Caviezel]], Ricardo Montalban, [[Ronald Reagan]], [[James Stewart]], [[Pat Boone]], Paul Schofield, Lisa Whelchel (who played ''The Facts of Life'' character Blair Warner, but refused a role where she would be the first of Eastland's girls to become a non-virgin), [[Walt Disney]], Jodi Benson, and many others practiced conservative values while working in Hollywood and the productions of these and many others also reflect these values, irrespective of the names associated with them: ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' and ''Independence Day'' (a 1996 movie about the United States being attacked by hostile alien invaders on [[Independence Day]]) being recent examples.

Although the social elite and studio executives of Hollywood may have held different values than [[Real America|Main Street America]], the disparity was hidden from the public. First, many film studios and actors hired publicity agents to control what lifestyle facts became known to the public. Certain personal indiscretions were considered "off-limits" to journalists and not generally reported, such as [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s connection to various [[organized crime]] and political figures (including [[JFK]]).

Second, both the film studios and the television networks had codes of acceptable content. Actors who were living by Hollywood values were creating films and television programs that carefully avoid sexually explicit themes or foul language. For example, the code required that if a married couple were to be shown in a bedroom scene, they would have twin beds and would be wearing [[pajamas]].

Third, after the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled that the [[First Amendment]] protected certain forms of literature and motion pictures that were previously considered [[pornographic]] in ''Miller v. California'' in 1973, the case law developed that applied local community standards when deciding whether a particular work was to be protected. This had the effect of decoupling national values from Hollywood values and started a race to the lowest common denominator.

Finally, over time, the media has shifted from being concentrated to being dispersed. The three major television networks ([[ABC]], [[CBS]] and [[NBC]]) shifted to thousands of cable channels, and the adoption of the Internet by the general public made controlling the spread of news and the fabrication of false public images by movie studios impossible. As a result, tabloid journalism and [[reality television]] spread the full impact of the Hollywood lifestyle throughout American culture.

==Description==

Hollywood values include a flagrant disrespect and disregard for:

* [[abstinence]], [[marriage]] and [[fidelity]]
* [[patriotism]]
* [[religion]] and [[spirituality]] (Hollywood's profits depend on the [[advertising]] and sale of [[materialism|material goods]] and other superficial "solutions" to problems.)
* [[accountability]]
* the [[military]]<ref>[http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/editorials/hollywood_gets_it_right_p4d84a9jyymsfLw0THb7EM "Hollywood gets it right"] (March 9, 2010). ''New York Post''.</ref>
* family responsibilities, like childrearing<ref>Li, David K. (February 13, 2008). [http://www.nypost.com/seven/02132008/news/nationalnews/brit_doesnt_want_her_kids__1st_ex_97425.htm "Brit doesn't want her kids: 1st ex"]. New York Post website. See [[Britney Spears]].</ref>
* laws that apply to everyone else
* commonly accepted behavioral boundaries and values of human decency
* hard work and humility

In addition, Hollywood portrays these values as rebellious and [[counterculture|countercultural]]. They portray religious and spiritual institutions as greedy, self-serving, sexually perverted, prejudiced, ignorant, and unscientific. When comparing the satisfaction brought about by faith, spirituality, family, and friendship, which may happen to include donations to a church or other organization, it is clear that the profits of Hollywood and the industries which rely upon Hollywood for profit are the true establishment—thus making traditional values truly rebellious and countercultural, and Hollywood values a lie.

== Falsehoods ==
''See also: [[Essay:Worst Liberal Movies]]'' and [[Atheism and deception]]

Hollywood values perpetuate [[liberal]]-driven [[Essay:Liberal Falsehoods|falsehoods]]:

*''The Road We’ve Traveled''
:20 minute mini-documentary on [[Barack Obama]], narrated by actor [[Tom Hanks]], is more fiction than fact, more fantasy than reality.

*''Game Change''
:HBO's anti-Republican propaganda film about [[Sarah Palin]]. Stars and executives of the production gave $200K to Democrats, zero to Republicans.<ref>Sheppard, Noel (March 7, 2012).

*''Inside Job''
:A 2010 film by Democrat donor Charles Ferguson that blames the Great Recession on [[Wall Street]], deregulation, the [[Bush Administration]]. The film whitewashes Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's role and claims the financial system corrupted politics. Capitalists are the bad guys.

*''Fair Game''
:Another Bush bash flick starring communist [[Sean Penn]]. 2010 film rehashes the lead up to the war in Iraq and [[Valerie Plame]]'s role. Typical un-American Hollywood film ''"The narrative that [[Karl Rove]] and Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff [[Scooter Libby]] were nefarious behind-the-scenes players intent on destroying innocent reputations while pushing the nation into war on false pretenses."'' <ref>Weinstein, Jamie (November 10, 2010).

The Daily Caller website.</ref>

*''The Iron Lady''
: Meryl Streep plays [[Margaret Thatcher]] in this gross mistake of a film. Liberals distort her triumphs and her low career points. Streep portrays Thatcher as a dementia-sufferer looking back at her life with sadness. The director defended the film as "a fictional film, but it will be fair and accurate." Thatcher's children Mark and Carol are appalled and say "They think it sounds like some Left-wing fantasy." <ref>Walker, Tim and Eden, Richard (July 17, 2010) [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/7895160/Margaret-Thatchers-family-are-appalled-at-Meryl-Streep-film.html "Margaret Thatcher's family are 'appalled' at Meryl Streep film"]. The Telegraph [U.K.] website.</ref>

*''The Tillman Story''
:A liberal's view of the circumstances surrounding the death of football star and Army Ranger [[Pat Tillman]]. The film portrays each and every fact as sinister. Plus, each and every fact is evidence of a conspiracy. Typical Hollywood [[George W. Bush]] bashing flick. The bias was clear, make Tillman a liberal atheist anti-war hero that was cannon-fodder for the government. Tillman's actions speak louder than any twisted accusations presented in this documentary.<ref>Schlichter, Kurt (July 13, 2010).

*Films based on the [[Matthew Shepard]] fallacy.
:Adherents to Hollywood values "green-lighted a troika of [[Matthew Shepard]] movies after he was senselessly killed because it affirmed their gut feeling that a homosexual young man living in backward America is destined for death at the hands of hateful ultraconservatives. A street in West Hollywood still stands in his name despite ABC News reporting the story false: He was killed by crazed meth addicts for drugs and money—not because of his homosexuality (in fact, one of his killers had himself been homosexual). Isn't that tragic enough? Yet Shepard is still the icon of homosexual victims' rights, and the mistaken story of his 'fate' soon thereafter befell Jake Gyllenhaal's character in ''Brokeback Mountain.'' The Oscar statuette stands as the exclamation point."<ref>Breitbart, Andrew (September 26, 2007).

*''[[Inherit the Wind]]''
:Hollywood perpetuated complete lies about the [[Scopes Trial]] in order to smear Christianity, including:

:*portraying [[William Jennings Bryan]] as being ignorant, harsh and punitive, based on a false portrayal of his actions and testimony

:*falsely claiming that at the end Bryan, in a senseless fit of madness, died in the courtroom amid caring and reasonable Darwinists

:*falsely portraying the Darwinists in a positive light and the Christians as deceitful

:In real life, Bryan and the Christians won the trial and were charitable to the end, while the Darwinist Darrow was deceitful in reneging on his deal to take the witness stand after Bryan did.

*''U 571''
:The 2000 film ''U 571'' had a plot which was based on the first capture of a German Enigma machine in [[World War 2]]. However, in the film the capture is made by Americans. In fact the first Enigma machine was captured by the British in 1941 prior to the Americans entering the war.

*''Better This World''
:2011 documentary "feature length lie" is a [[PBS]] film regarding the thwarted domestic terrorist attack at the 2008 [[Republican]] National Convention and [[liberal]]s attempt to re-write history.<ref>Giles, Hannah (April 4, 2011).

Breitbart website/Big Hollywood.</ref>

*''Recount''
:The 2008 [[HBO]] movie on the 2000 Presidential elections and its aftermath in Florida. A look into how the [[Republicans]] stole the election and the role of its party members that made it happen. Republicans are portrayed as ghoulish and cited as manufacturing demonstrations. Both the real Warren Christopher and James Baker contend the film’s portrayal of the former is hopelessly untrue.<ref>Toto, Christian (May 24, 2008).

*''Winter Soldiers''
:The 1972 film about U.S. troops from Vietnam put on record as baby killers, human rights violators, and general disservice to America. This myth was propagated by a few anti-war activist liberal actors that never did see combat in [[Vietnam]] and some were never in the country. The initial result was to hold hearings in Congress over the matter. All allegations were proven fabrications, falsehoods, and lies.

*''[[An Inconvenient Truth]]''
:The 2006 false documentary about man-made [[global warming]] created & hyped by [[liberal]] [[elitist]] [[Al Gore]]<ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3281925#.UC_rcVHBmcw "Bill Clinton, Al Gore get rich after White House"] (June 15, 2007).

*''Million Dollar Baby''
:A 2004 [[Clint Eastwood]] pro-[[euthanasia]] film in which Eastwood euthanasies his boxing trainee at her request after she suffered a crippling blow from her opponent that left her incurable. Especially controversial since 2005 when real life [[Terri Schiavo]] was euthanasied by her husband.

*''[[Kinsey]]''
:Also 2004. A Bill Condon film depicting the life of fraudulent sex researcher [[Alfred Kinsey]]. Especially anti-Christian in early scenes' portrayals of Christians as narrow-minded, hypocritical, mean-spirited and stingy. Normalizes all forms of illicit sex, esp. homosexual (of which Condon is an activist for), which resulted in the current [[venereal disease]] epidemics (i.e. [[AIDS]]), widespread [[abortion]], [[divorce]], [[pornography]], sex crimes, unmarried parenting and related urban poverty and violence by irresponsible parents.

*''[[Brokeback Mountain]]''
:2005. Like ''[[Kinsey]]'', it's also extremely graphic and pro-homosexual in its story of an off and on "romance" between two rural [[Wyoming]] cowboys during the 1960s-1980s.

*''Fahrenheit 911''
:A [[Michael Moore]] film that was a false portrayal of why America fought a war against [[Saddam Hussein]]'s Iraq. The main theme was to attack [[George W. Bush]] during wartime.

*''[[Sicko]]''
:Another [[Michael Moore]] film which spread many falsehoods about American healthcare while unduly glorifying the so-called benefits of socialized healthcare. Memorably referred to Cuban healthcare as being better than American healthcare.

*''Redacted''
:Brian De Palma’s 2007 fictional anti-Iraq War film funded by [[Mark Cuban]]. The film is credited with inspiring a terrorist attack that killed two U.S. servicemen in [[Germany]].<ref>Rosenthal, John (March 11, 2011).

==Disrespect for marriage==

''See also:'' [[Atheism and marriage]] and [[Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity]]

Many celebrities and other exponents of Hollywood Values have no respect for the sanctity of marriage—their own or anyone else's. This is manifested in a high rate of marriage breakdown, and by the home-wrecking activities of the promiscuous, whose moral outlooks have been distorted by liberal and atheistic teachings.
*Bonnie Lee Bakely was married ten times, divorced four, annulled five and her last marriage (to Robert Blake) was the only one ending in death—hers in 2001.
*Marion Barry, [[Washington D.C.]]'s second ever mayor after Walter Washington, best known for his videotaped crack bust in 1990, first three marriages ended in divorce, including the one to Effi Slaughter, his third wife with whom he had his only child and was married to when he was in the videotape with a model. His fourth marriage to Cora Masters when the one to Effi ended was the only one that ended in death-his in 2014.
*Ingrid Bergman, Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''The Bells Of St. Mary's'' (1945). In 1950, Ingrid, who was married to fellow Swede, Peter Lindstrom, had an affair with director Roberto Rosellini while in Italy filming his direction of the movie, ''Stromboli'' (1950) and remained there after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused her to be blacklisted from U.S. films and denounced from pulpits as "an agent of evil" until her U.S. comeback in ''Anastasia'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like the one to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage afterwards to Lars Schmidt (1958-1978), four years before her death in 1982.
*[[Michael Bloomberg]], New York City's mayor from 2002-2013 who continued his predecessor Giuliani's zero-tolerance and "stop and frisk" policies towards street crimes divorced his former wife in 1993 after 18 years of marriage and two children and is now living with his domestic partner Diana Taylor since 2000.
*[[Humphrey Bogart]], His first three marriages ended in divorce and his fourth (to [[Lauren Bacall]]) was the only one ending in death—his in 1957, age 51.
*Joan Crawford (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] [[idol]], was married and divorced three times and named as the 'other woman' in at least one affair with a married man. Her fourth and last marriage to [[PepsiCo, Inc|Pepsi Company]]'s president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When Joan died in 1977, her public disinheriting of her two oldest remaining adopted children from her $2M estate "for reasons that should be well known to them" was said to have caused her oldest daughter, Christina, to write her best-selling book ''Mommie Dearest'' (1978, adapted into film in 1981), which alleged a lifetime of [[Adultery|extramarital affairs]], [[alcoholism]] and selfishness-based [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. Unfortunately, like her adoptive mother, Christina also got married and divorced three times in her own lifetime.
*[[Cecil B. DeMille]], despite his direction of popular Biblical epics, committed [[adultery]] during his marriage to Constance Adams that, surprisingly, lasted until his death in 1959, age 77.
*Frances Farmer, who was the subject of a 1982 biopic starring Jessica Lange (who herself adopted Frances' lifestyle into her own real life), as a [[public school]]er in 1931 denied God in a controversial award-winning high school essay called ''God Dies'' and in 1935, visited the [[USSR]], was also popular in the 1930s to the point of being considered "the next [[Greta Garbo]]", had three marriages at least two of whom ended in divorce, with extramarital affairs during at least one that included one with married play writer Clifford Odets. She also had a then-illegal [[abortion]] which left her sterile; the guilt of which caused her to avoid all contact with children. In 1958, however, when she moved to [[Indianapolis]] (she died there in 1970 at age 56), a friend's child whispered to her "I love you because you're good", something that nobody ever said or maybe even thought about her before. Soon afterwards, she went to St. [[Joan of Arc]] Catholic Church in where she went to [[confession]] of all her sins and took up classes about and in 1959 was baptized into the Catholic faith, turning away from her former lifestyle.
*[[Greta Garbo]] shunned marriage for herself altogether but instead engaged in numerous affairs with married men.
*[[Ava Gardner]] was married and divorced three times between 1942-1957 and cheated during the marriages. During her marriage to Frank Sinatra (1951-1957, her last), she got pregnant twice and aborted both children because MGM had all sorts of penalty clauses about their stars having babies.
*[[Judy Garland]], best known for her "Dorothy Gale" role in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1939) had five marriages, the first four ended in divorce, the last ended only three months later in her death in 1969 from a barbiturate overdose at age 46.
*[[Rudolph Giuliani]], [[New York City]]'s law and order mayor from 1994-2001, was married three times, the first to Regina Peruggi from 1968-1983 until he found that she was his second cousin. During his second marriage (1984-2002) to local television personality Donna Hanover, he had affairs with his press secretary, Christyne Lategano, and with Judith Nathan, even providing Nathan with police escorted chauffeuring services and bringing her to Gracie Manson. In 2002, his divorce from Hanover was finalized and he married Nathan in the following year, 2003, making it Nathan's third marriage after her two previous divorces. In 2018, Nathan filed for divorce from Giuliani, who is currently dating Republican fundraiser Jennifer LeBlanc.
*Florence Henderson, despite her wholesome ''Carol Brady'' image on ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'', fell victim to adultery in the 1960's during her first marriage to Ira Bernstein with whom she had all four of her children when she had an affair with John Lindsay, who would later become New York City's mayor from 1966-1973 and who she claims gave her crab lice. She divorced Bernstein in 1985 after 29 years and married John Kappas in 1987, which lasted until his death in 2002.
*[[Katharine Hepburn]], whose movie and TV career spanned over 60 years, married in 1928 at age 21 just to get money for her career. The marriage ended in divorce in 1934 after only six years and by her own choice she never had any children. Shortly after her divorce, she entered into adulterous relationships with her married agent, [[Leland Hayward]] as well as with [[Howard Hughes]] and [[Spencer Tracy]], the latter for 26 years until Tracy's death in 1967. The only "respect" Katharine had for Spencer's marriage to fellow actress Louise Treadwell was that she avoided his funeral since Treadwell and their children would be there.
*[[John Huston]], known for his multi roles in ''The Bible: In The Beginning'' (1966) as the film's director, narrator, [[Noah]] and [[God]]'s voice, was married five times but had affairs in all his marriages, the fourth of who was the only one ending in death-his fourth wife's in 1969.
*[[Lana Turner]] Seven of her eight of her marriages ended in divorce and one in [[annulment]]. Two of them (her second & third) were to the same man, Steven Crane.
*[[Larry King]] (real name Lawrence Zeiger) has been married eight (8) times to seven (7) different women.
*Orenthal James, "O.J.", Simpson, cheated on his first wife, Marguerite L. Whitley, with Nicole Brown, who he met in 1977 while still married to Whitley and with whom he would be charged with spousal abuse of and eventually divorced from in 1992, two years before Brown's and her companion's murders in 1994 that he would be charged with, acquitted of in 1995 but found civilly liable in 1997 for both deaths and ordered to pay $33.5 million to hers and her companion's, Ronald Goldmans', families.
*Elizabeth Taylor has been married eight (8) times, including a nearly 6-year marriage to [[John Warner|Senator John Warner]] (R-VA). Taylor was married to and divorced twice from [[Richard Burton]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000072/bio "Elizabeth Taylor biography"] (2004 or bef.). Internet Movie Data Base website.</ref>
*Spencer Tracy, best known as Father Flannigan in both ''[[Boys Town]]'' films (1938 and 1941) and also for the pro- [[evolution]] ''[[Inherit the Wind]]'' (1960) and post [[World War II]] courtroom drama ''[[Judgment at Nuremberg]]'' (1961), was married to Louise Ten Broeck Treadwell from 1923-his death in 1967 but engaged in affairs with [[Joan Crawford]], [[Ingrid Bergman]] and his longest one with [[Katharine Hepburn]] until his death, claiming his "devout Catholic faith" was why he never got or sought a divorce from Treadwell.
*Valerie Bertinelli said her divorce from [[Eddie Van Halen]] was caused by infidelity and drug use—by both spouses. She said she was "destroying my body," trying to keep up with a rock-star lifestyle.<ref>Associated Press (February 26, 2008).

*Jolie Gabor, mother of the acting family of Magda, Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor, and an actress herself, was twice divorced before her third marriage (to Count Edmond de Szigethy in 1957) was the only one lasting until death-his (de Szigethy's) in 1989.
*Magda Gabor, oldest sister of both Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor, was married six times, divorced four, annulled once and whose fourth marriage (to Tony Gallucci in 1956) was the only one ending in death-Gallucci's in 1957. Magda never had any children.
*Zsa Zsa Gabor, middle sister of the Gabor acting family, has been married nine times. Her second marriage-to Hilton Hotels magnate Conrad Hilton from 1942-1947-was the only one where she (the only Gabor sister to do so) had any children (one with Hilton). One of her marriages—to Felipe de Alba in 1983—was annulled after one day. Her most recent (9th) marriage to Frederic Prinz von Anhalt in 1986 was the only one ending in death-hers on December 18, 2016 at age 99.
*Eva Gabor, youngest sister of both Magda and Zsa Zsa, was married and divorced five times and had extramarital affairs with [[Frank Sinatra]] among others. Eva, like her sister Magda, never had any children.

*[[Larry Flynt]]'s first three marriages ended in divorce, his fourth marriage was the only one ending in [[widow]]ment (his by Althea's death in 1987) and his current one to Elizabeth Berrios in 1998 was when his daughter, Toyna, published her book ''Hustled'' in which she claims she was sexually abused as a child by him and has since been disowned when she became a [[Christian]] and anti-[[pornography]] [[activist]].
*In 2009, the married [[David Letterman]] admitted to having had adulterous sexual relationships with multiple members of his staff; he had previously fathered a child out of wedlock.

She appeared in the centerfold of the pornographic magazine ''Playboy'', and died in 1967 at 42 in an automobile accident that was said to have been brought on by a curse placed by [[Satanist]] [[Anton LaVey]] on her lover, [[Sam Brody]], who was driving at the time and had also died, after expressing his hate for LaVey's cult.

LifeSite website/News.</ref>}}

== Hollywood "humor" ==
Another manifestation of Hollywood's offensiveness and moral depravity is found in many of its "comedy" movies and television programs. More so than any other entertainment industry, many Hollywood productions rely on lowbrow, juvenile humor. Unlike more intelligent comedies of the early to mid-20th century (such as ''The Great Dictator'' or ''Arsenic and Old Lace''), many contemporary Hollywood comedies eschew intelligence, social commentary, wit or satire in favor of lower-hanging fruit, such as "toilet humor," nudity/sex, profanity, gratuitous violence and shock value. Examples of such films include:

*''American Pie'' — a long-running film franchise primarily dealing with teenage sex and alcohol; it relies on jokes about sex and bodily functions.
*''[[Jackass]]'' — These films are essentially montages of ridiculous stunts and pranks with no coherent stories.
*''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' 1990s MTV series and its 1996 [[movie]] adaptation, "Beavis and Butthead Do America", make fun of injuries and their related suffering and, in the movie version, "moon" (expose their buttockses to) nuns.
* Mel Brooks' ''History of The World Part I'' (1981) makes fun of, among other things, the Dawn of Man by showing cavemen breaking their own feet to make "music" from the resulting screams and creating the first [[homosexual marriage]], the [[Old Testament]]'s [[Moses]] bringing the [[Ten Commandments]] to the Israelites by literally breaking the extra five, many sex jokes and a mockery of the [[Last Supper]] in its [[Roman Empire]] segment, mockery of the sufferings of [[Jews]] in its [[Spanish Inquisition]] segment and shows France's King Louis XVI (played by Brooks) in its [[French Revolution]] segment using real humans as skeet targets for his target practice games, while hypocritically saying, "I detest violence".
* TV sitcoms ''All In The Family'' and its first spinoff, ''Maude'', included controversial subjects in an often depressing way. ''Maude'' for example, had its title character getting an [[abortion]] in its first year. Later sitcoms ''Married With Children'', ''Roseanne'', ''The Simpsons'' (latter is still running since its December 1989 pilot debut), ''South Park'', ''Family Guy'' and ''According to Jim'' are also full of such humor.
* ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' may be seen by some as offensive humor due to its unreal depiction of [[Nazi]] POW camps during [[World War II]]. However, Werner Klemperer (who played Colonel Klink) was born in Germany to a Jewish father; his family was able to emigrate to the United States before World War II started, and he refused to accept the role unless Klink was portrayed as an unsuccessful fool.
* ''[[South Park]]'' — uses constant iterations of urine, feces, farting and shock humor, such as jokes about [[abortion]], [[rape]] and the [[Holocaust]].
*''There's Something About Mary'' — contains gratuitous sex and jokes about bodily functions.
*''[[Family Guy]]'' — notorious for its shock tactics, this show routinely employs willful tastelessness for comedic shock value. Examples include one regular character who is a pedophile, a pet dog who drinks as well as constant Hitler jokes.
*''Cheech and Chong'' films star the original "pot pair".
*''Harold and Kumar'' films - the adventures of an Asian pot-smoking duo that play up ethnic stereotypes, à la Cheech & Chong.
*''[[Dogma]]'' — a movie that makes fun of the Bible and religion.
* Lowbrow comedy film series' like ''Porky's'', ''Vacation'' ([[Chevy Chase]], Beverly D'Angelo), ''Police Academy'', ''Bachelor Party'' and ''Revenge of The Nerds'' pics are full of all of the above.
* ''Heathers''<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097493/ "Heathers"] (2015 or bef.) Internet Movie Data Base website.</ref> — a pathetically grim 1989 teen comedy featuring [[public school]] high schoolers killing other students and making their deaths look like suicides.
*''Delgo'' Relatively tame, with some humor aimed at bodily functions.

== Hypocrisy ==

Hollywood personalities often propose legislation such as outlawing private gun ownership, or speak out against things such as anti-gun laws, but have at the same time acted in movies contrary to their own public opinions:

* [[George Clooney]] on hearing that fellow actor and gun-rights advocate, [[Charlton Heston]], suffers from Alzheimer's disease, said: ''"I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the [[National Rifle Association]]. He deserves whatever anyone says about him."''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080105122441/http://www.funnyreign.com/quotes-georgeclooney.shtml "George Clooney quotes"] (2005 or bef.)

* [[Mark Wahlberg]] upon meeting Charlton Heston on the set of 2001's remake of ''Planet of the Apes'', Wahlberg rudely told Heston, "It was very disturbing meeting you." Later, Wahlberg would have this to say at the MTV Movie Awards: ''"I believe Charlton Heston is America's best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association."''<ref>Codrea, David (2001).

* [[Helen Mirren]] played Queen Elizabeth II in 2006's movie ''The Queen'', but [https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,414361,00.html admits she used to use cocaine] as a result of her poor life choices as a younger woman.

==Award Shows==
Fans of Hollywood are served copious amounts of vanity and glamour as celebrities are greeted on the red-carpet attending award events. Paparazzi snap pictures and the stars are rated for their appearance in various tabloids and entertainment television. Once the celebrities have arrived at the awards, television cameras capture for the masses acceptance speeches of their beloved stars. Once limited to couple of banquets such as the [[Emmy Award|Emmys]] or [[Golden Globe]]s, now some two-dozen award shows are vying for exposure. These new award shows offer glimpses into ego and moral depravity of Hollywood. It's not uncommon for the stars to act cool by cussing to the audience during acceptance speeches. These awards shows have become tawdry events that are marketed mostly to teens.

==Preying on Underage Stars==

Very many child actors and actresses have gone on to have damaged and tragically short lives as a result of early exposure to Hollywood Values.

Debbie Gibson reflects on her life as a sixteen-year-old teenage Pop star and her exposure to the very sinister side of show business. “It is very disheartening that there are so many older men that prey on young performers.” What is even more disturbing than dirty male fans would be older male record executives trying to take her to adult parties and corrupt her with alcohol. Even the way the paparazzi stalk the younger artists is very different from following around adults.<ref>McKay, Hollie (July 17, 2009).

=== Reality show participants ===
[[MTV]] is notorious for filming underage participants in reality shows. The pressure of instant fame with people in trying circumstances to begin with, the off-camera news starts to creep more into the media. Arrests, suicide attempts, drugs and rehab are just some of the issues involving reality stars personal lives. Legal contracts with the network spell out MTV's rights to exploit their situations on the show. Psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere. “In this country the media rewards bad behavior with more attention, thus more bad behavior is manifested because it is reinforced and rewarded." <ref>Piazza, Jo (June 17, 2011). [https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/06/17/is-mtv-repsonsible-when-at-risk-girls-it-exploits-go-off-deep-end/#ixzz1PYwX10oc "Is MTV responsible when at-risk teens it features go off the deep end?"] Fox News website/Fox 411/TV.</ref>

==Productions==
The diseased moral values of the Liberal-dominated entertainment industry are manifested all too clearly in many of the products of that industry—[[motion pictures]], television programs, [[music]], [[magazine]]s and [[novel]]s that offer no edification or instruction to the viewer, but plumb a cesspit of license and depravity. Some recent examples include the television series ''Desperate Housewives'', ''Delgo'', and ''Sex and the City'''s TV series' and movies.

==Religion==
A short study of the ten most successful actors <ref>Johnson, Bryan (July 15, 2009). [http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-most-successful-actors-at-the-box-office.php "Top 10 most successful actors at the box office"]. TopTenz website/Entertainment/Movies & Television/People.</ref> shows that only 50% are Christian (compared to 76% for the general population), with 30% expressing no religious beliefs at all (compared to 15% in the general public). These actors have had successful careers and it is very likely that religious affiliation in regular actors is much lower, exposing or predisposing them to the influence of Hollywood values. [[David Lynch]], for example, is apathetic towards all [[politics]] and [[religions]] and prefers [[transcendental meditation]] instead. Adrian Zmed, 1980s [[teen idol]] who starred alongside [[William Shatner]] in the 1980s police drama, ''T.J. Hooker'', said in an interview in [[People magazine|''People'']] Magazine's June 20, 1983 issue that his rigid upbringing by his [[Romania]]n [[Orthodox Church]] arch [[priest]] father caused him to play rebellious juvenile delinquent and greaser roles (ex. "Danny Zucko" in [[Broadway]]'s long running earlier 1970's started stage musical, ''[[Grease]]'', "Socks Palermo" in television's short lived 1979 sitcom, "Flatbush" and the head T-Bird "Johnny Nogerelli" in the 1982 sequel [[movie]] ''Grease 2'') as a relief from "having a [[Father]] who is *your* [[father]]", and had also said in the same interview "Preachers kids have a sense of rebellion in them". ''Once Bitten'' (1985 teen [[vampire]] 'comedy') has its "Countess" (Lauren Hutton) lead character saying to her male target's girlfriend that "the [[cross]] won't 'work on me' (keep vampires away) cause I'm an [[atheist]], but having sex will". The following year's (1986) teen romantic drama, ''Fire with Fire'', shows the [[nun]]s at the [[Roman Catholic]] [[convent]] school that the lead actress' teenage character is attending making religion, ex.
[[Christianity]], look bad.

[[Scientology]] is practiced by many Hollywood personalities. [[Tom Cruise]], [[Kirstie Alley]] and [[John Travolta]] are perhaps the most well-known Hollywood Scientologists.
