2. I always admired Jason Robards. I saw him in an interview many years ago. They asked him about his alcoholism.

He’d been sober a long time. They asked him how he did it and he said that’s none of your business. They took anonymity more serious back then. So many stars kept very low key and we didn’t really learn they were alcoholics till they passed. I guess society has learned to accept it more nowadays.
