The phrase Hollywood values is a pejorative which refers to the general lack of morals and values in Hollywood culture, which some argue lead to rampant drug use, extramarital sex, and disease.
Hollywood values include a disrespect for:
- marriage
- patriotism
- religion
- accountability
Political correctness, at least publicly, is a central part of Hollywood values.
Hollywood values are deadly. Some examples include:[1]
- Heath Ledger, 28, found dead naked in his Manhattan apartment. "Prescription sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills were found in bottles in Ledger's bedroom and bathroom, and police said the death was caused by a possible drug overdose and appeared to be accidental."[2] A rolled up $20 bill was also found near the body.
- River Phoenix, 23, a huge star until he died from an overdose cocaine and heroin.
- Brad Renfro, 25, became addicted to heroin and was found dead after a night of drinking.
- Kurt Cobain, 27, "turned to drugs and alcohol to help him cope," then committed suicide.
- Sid Vicious, 21, overdosed on heroin obtained from his mother.
