FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. Here's why this matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. It's not good for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. This happens all the time.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. Maybe you play a gay man, and everyone thinks you're straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. They want you to sound better most of the time.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
Do you wonder how much trash is produced each day across the globe?
According to the United Nations the average person creates more than 2.5 lbs of waste daily. That adds up over 25 billion kilos of garbage every year.
Many of this trash ends in landfill dumps, or incinerators. But what happens if those dumpsters are full? Most of that trash is shipped out of the country. The trash is then sent out of the country and dumped in countries where it pollutes ecosystems. But, one man has now discovered exactly where this rubbish goes. Mike Sexton is his name. He runs a company called Waste Watchers.He spends his days watching the movements of trucks transporting trash across North America. Then he reports back to us about what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN spoke with Sexton that they have a lot fun. "We see these big trucks coming through town, so we'll keep following them. "Sexton began to follow truck drivers around 20 years ago.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
Sexton's favorite story was about a driver who stopped at an abandoned gas station in Los Angeles. Sexton recalls, "The guy was searching for somewhere to put his loads." "He drove along the road and saw this structure. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were 2 large containers that had been rolled off, and they were full of stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were old tires and rags, furniture pieces, mattresses, mattresses and boxes. "It was just a total mess. It had been cleaned up before he arrived. There was no trash."
Why did this happen? It's because this area used to be a recycle center. People would drive from all over the country to recycle their trash. Sexton said that people would bring their household items to the building and then leave empty containers behind.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. It could happen hundreds of thousands of times a week. The truck eventually stops running because it has become so jammed with junk. And eventually, the owner decides to abandon the vehicle.
However, trash is not the only problem on our planet.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Others get washed into rivers or oceans.And when they reach the ocean, they often end up in the stomachs of fish.
Experts warn that if there is no change, the world could soon be facing a food shortage. Experts warn that "if we keep going the way we are, we're not going make it," although scientists agree that the world is heading toward disaster. Most people, however, don't seem to be concerned.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. The heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. There are many stories about celebrities who drank excessively. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His family and friends were unable to accept his death, and the media was quick to criticize him.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. Eventually, he went to rehab and came out clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was supposed to be released this year, but now it won't hit theaters until next year.
Heath tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. He was actually arrested twice for drug charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath’s tale will be a wakeup call to anyone who may believe that they can still have all.
