Today's Blind Items - The Gaslighter

This actress was almost at the A+ level at one point in her career.  She was a young actress in an ensemble cast of one of the most popular television shows of all time.  The character she played was beloved by audiences and her acting was great.  She is a multiple award winner/nominee.  As I already wrote, the television show our actress starred in was one of the top rated shows at that time and was also critically acclaimed.  The ensemble cast was a group of talented young actors and actresses, several of whom went on to become even more famous as their careers progressed.

The sad thing is that our actress, who I'll call Ms. D, has pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth.   At the height of her fame, she inexplicably decided to walk out on the show.   Not only did she walk out on the show, but she also forfeited what would have been an incredible amount of money in the process.  Of course, there were diversionary tactics used to explain her departure from the show--the usual stuff about how she was difficult and demanding, and also that she was just downright crazy. None of this was true.  What actually took place is that something very bad had happened to this actress at the hands of another cast member on the show.  We'll call him Mr . A.   Mr. A was almost as popular as Ms D. was at that time , but beneath his wholesome exterior he was hiding a very dark side. To be blunt, this dude was a sociopath.  Anyway, the real reason Ms. D walked out was not only because of what she experienced, but also because others involved with the show chose to look the other way.  In fact, the higher-ups around the show made it clear to cast members that the situation was to be hushed up so that there would be no bad publicity.  Mr. A also gaslighted Ms. D., big time, in order to keep her quiet.  He had everyone on the show conned.  It was so bad that our actress began to suffer from serious health problems from the stress and those close to her were afraid she would end up hospitalized.  So... she bolted from the show for her own health and sanity and pretty much faded into obscurity.

After her departure, the show continued on, as did the careers of Mr. A and the other cast members who had turned a blind eye to what happened.   A few years passed and Mr. A became even more famous and wealthy thanks to his role on the show.  His increased fame placed him in more elite social circles where he crossed paths with another actress.  This actress, who I'll call Ms. T, is what I'd consider permanent A list.  At the time she encountered Mr. A., she was not really acting very much, but still maintained her A-list status for other reasons.  Anyway, Mr. A. crossed paths with Ms. T because of mutual friends and also because of a business matter they had in common.  Unlike Ms. D,  Ms. T had been around the block a few times and recognized the red flags with Mr. A's personality pretty quickly. She is no shrinking violet and was not about to put up with any crap from this guy.  Ms. T saw the warning signs after our actor attempted to make a business situation as miserable as possible for her.  She told him in no uncertain terms that he better back off-- and as is the case with these personality types, when Mr. A realized was onto him, he made sure to stay out of her way.

Although Ms. T's heydey as an actress was pretty much over at that point, our actress was (and is) very well liked in the industry.  She has lots of loyal and powerful friends.  And  Ms. T made sure that ALL of them heard about her miserable experience with Mr A.  Since our actress has never been known to say an unkind word about anyone, that made her story that much more credible.  Her powerful friends that heard the story were even more disturbed by it because at the time she crossed paths with Mr. A,  she was going through a very vulnerable time in her life.   Mr. A honed in on that and attempted to exploit her.  Luckily our actress saw through that and was able to avoid harm.  Ms. T's friends were so disgusted by this story that they spread it around like the plague and before long, almost everyone in the business had heard it (and believed it).

Mr. A continued to work on this very famous show, but once the show ended, he suddenly found himself struggling to get more work.  No one would give him the time of day.  This is surprising given that a number of the actors from this show went on to further successes after the show was over- but he didn't.  It was clear that people in the business were aware of our actor's issues and were avoiding hiring him.  What is even better is that that none of those old castmates were willing to help Mr. A find new work either.  They all felt guilty about the situation with Ms. D- and no longer wanted to be tainted by any association with him, especially since Ms. T's story was widely known at that point.

What makes this all so interesting is that Ms. D and Ms. T recently met one another for the first time.  They were introduced by a mutual friend who was aware of both of their stories.  Since Ms D was really not in contact with many people in the business anymore, she was had not heard Ms. T's story when it was circulating around.  The two women have since become very close friends and consider themselves part of each other's families.    This is a very unlikely friendship but they have totally bonded over their mutual loathing of Mr. A.  What is even more intriguing is that Ms T is urging Ms D to write a book about what happened to her. Ms. T has even offered to pony up the cash for Ms. A to hire lawyers in case there are legal problems with the book.  It will be interesting to see if the tell-all gets written.  If so, I would imagine there will be quite a few in the Industry who will be very nervous about the prospect of being called out for not intervening in Ms. D's situation with Mr. A.

    Hmm... how about

    Wylie was at one point a producer, so he would get residuals from all the re-runs.

  22. Sherri Stringfield played Blake Thorpe on Guiding Light for many years. She rocked that role, then one day she was gone and I saw her on that new show NYPD Blue, until that got cancelled, then she went on to ER.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I completely believe this to be Noah Wylie - saw him on Greenlight Project many, many years ago, after he had been on ER. He was such an asshole (and that is actually too nice of a word for how he was treating others) to the up and coming screenwriters and actors. So much so, that my husband pointed out what a dick he was being (and my husband is such a nice guy, will never say anything bad about anyone).

    Susan Dey starred in the series "Love & War" post-"L.A. Law," and she also did an "L.A. Law" reunion movie, so I don't think it's her.

    The blind states "A+ multiple award winner/nominee" that suddenly disappeared... That fits pretty much no one.

  31. It fits her on several key points except she returned for a few seasons and if the blind is correct, Mr. A would still have been there.

  34. Jessica4:21 AM

    The thing with ER is that those actors still all work, even if tv shows and cable movies, like Noah, Eric, Sherry, Kelly.

    The show that came to mind reading this was Northern Exposure, the young blond waitress, that married the old restaurant owner, pretty much left the industry.

    ReplyDelete
  41. LiveYourLife5:15 AM

    The closest I can make Melrose Place work would be:
    - Amy Locane (left after one season, has had almost no career since -- but that's probably more because she wasn't that talented, rather than her being a frequent award nominee that just upped and left)
    - Heather Locklear (permanent A-lister)
    - Thomas Calabro (the actor that has not done anything of note since Melrose)

    I just don't think Melrose Place fits as "one of the best, critically acclaimed" shows, and Locane doesn't really fit as an actress that was perched on bigger success if not for her quitting the show.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Just4Fun5:25 AM

    Sherry Stringfield was my first thought but she has worked a lot since then. There's also people from St. Elsewhere who left suddenly and other cast members who became very successful, but I wouldn't say that show was one of the top-rated of all time.

    Kellie Martin has pictures of her with Noah Wyle on her official twitter with the caption "awww" and leaving the show was not her choice. Additionally, she wasn't labeled as difficult or crazy upon her departure, so I'm not sure that guess really fits.

    snip

    "Wyle, though often quiet about his personal life, opened up about fatherhood and his Father's Day expectations back in 2013. 'I don't want to put any pressure on my kids to feel like they have to do anything for me,' he said on Missouri's Fox local TV station KOLR-10. He joked: 'I don't want to put that kind of emotional baggage on them but at the same time I am harboring this secret fantasy that they will do something to show what an amazing father I am.'

    Stringfield hasn't worked a lot and her departure was sketchy, but she came back to ER after she left. Also, only 2 actors from ER really vaulted: Clooney and Marguilles. Edwards, Wylie...they've had work, but not great work. And there are a lot of actresses from ER that haven't done much. But nobody is barren of work; and it really wasn't a great springboard show.

    Wasn't there a blind a couple years ago about Enty running into Lisa Nicole Carson?? I believe he said she was working in a restaurant, and barely recognizable. If I recall, in the blind he said something about her telling him she left the business due to mental problems. Need one of the super sleuths who can go back and find the blind item. Not sure if it was officially revealed or if someone figured it out in the comments.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Jennerationb10:20 AM

    When reading the blind, my original thought was the show Thirtysomething. It was a young, talented cast and was very successful & popular at the time. I was a little kid Back then, so I'd have to spend more time than I have right now looking at timelines for the cast. Several of the stars had good careers afterwards both in front and behind the camera.

    I think that this could possibly be someone on Ally McBeal. I can't remember now what her "best friend" character 's name was (Nicole?) who's role was suddenly reduced and then she left because of "mental health issues" which seemed odd at the time. IMDB sleuths have at it! But it's what immediately popped into my head as I was reading this :-)

  106. Noah Wyle doesn't seem to fit as he has worked steadily since leaving ER, including many seasons on the Spielberg-produced "Falling Skies" as well as "The Librarians."

  107. And Noah Wyle was cast in a pilot. Sherry Stringfield returned to the show in its 8th season when Wyle was still there. She left abruptly in the season after Wyle left.
    I just can't see Wyle getting this work (Falling Skies and The Librarians) if he was that awful. Nor would I believe Sherry Stringfield would come back to ER to work with him again.

    Mischa is a drugged out mess and her mother is a psycho. Her issues weren't caused by anyone on The OC.

  112. Jennifer Love Hewitt has worked very steadily since Part of Five though. I really hope this is revealed soon, it's driving me nuts lol.

    Stringfield left ER in 1996 and then returned in 2001...that doesn't feel like it fits for the person in this blind.

    i think the wyle/stringfield/derek theory works perfectly. it says mr. a couldn't get a break after the end of his show/that no one wanted to work with him, but that could be hollywood hyperbole for "couldn't-get-the-type-of-roles-he-wanted" (movies), like clooney. his imdb record following the end of er is pretty mundane. going from a long-running-prime-time-show-lead to bit parts is the hollywood definition of "fading into obscurity", isn't it?

    You're right, most of his work I never heard of. I don't think it says he doesn't work at all, doesn't say that about the woman either.

    Lisa Bonet in A Different World? Multiple nominee/winner. Abruptly left the show. Marisa Tomei and Sinbad went on to be more famous afterward.

    Yes, i believe she was a hostess at a restaurant chain( one in hollywood, one at century city mall) that he recognized her from. I thought she was fired from the show for drug use?
    Who would be the guy from ally mcbeal?

  126. So this was Noah Wylie and Sherry Stringfield?!? It never made sense that she first left ER to spend time with her bf or husband!! She was a young actress just making her mark. That the ER higher ups chose to tolerate this was bullshit.
