I find it interesting that someone mentioned Tuesday Weld in this thread. For the benefit of those too young to remember her in Dobie Gillis - or her so-so movie career, here's some info that does suggest some similarity:



Here's from her bio in Wikipedia:

...In 1959, still only sixteen years old, she was given a role in the CBS television show, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Although Weld was a cast member for only a single season, the show gave her considerable national publicity, and she was named a co-winner of a "Most Promising Newcomer" award at the Golden Globe Awards. Only a year later, in 1960, she appeared as Joy, a free-spirited university student in High Time, a collegian comedy starring Bing Crosby and Fabian.

Despite talent, beauty, and early success, Tuesday Weld was frequently described as a poster girl for self-destruction. The product of a dysfunctional family, she claims to have suffered a nervous breakdown at the age of nine. With no parental guidance from her mother (with whom she would have a lifelong strained relationship), by age ten she had begun smoking and drinking.

In her early teens, she lost her virginity in a hapless relationship that, combined with her other problems, led to a suicide attempt. The teenage Weld dated a series of much older men and was known for going barefoot and displaying public behavior then considered shocking and abrasive.

In 1961, after starring opposite Elvis Presley in Wild in the Country, the two began an off-screen romance. However, in Hollywood, her reputation for recklessness was fodder for pulp magazines and the more malignant gossip columnists of the day. Louella Parsons reportedly said, drily, "Miss Weld is not a very good representative for the motion picture industry."

Well, she's had a lot of success, and she supposedly has over a hundred million dollars. It goes to show you that lots of money - even combined with youth and good looks - doesn't necessarily make you happy ...

Intoxication usually leads one to make bad decisions - and could lead to total disaster. People should really help each other to avoid that fate - but many people prefer to just gawk at wreck victims, and others take pictures to profit off others' misfortune ...

Britney's burden (and that of those other poor, harassed and oppressed multi millionaire celebrities out there) is what you might call small potatoes compared to practically every other person on the planet.
