I'll start. Amanda Plummer and Tonya Pinkins. Who else?

I'll put the number at roughly 83%.

Okay, this is an ill-advised thread. I don't think it's fair to name names in such a blatant manner. We joke about it in other threads, but this is kind of beyond...

EVERY actor is crazy. Why else would we willingly go into a profession that has such a low success rate.

I know Seymour's the greatest.
But I'm dating a semi-sadist.

I'll stop using last names.

Oh come on, it's all in fun. They should probably try to control themselves if they don't want to be labeled as crazy. Like, don't talk about doing theatre in basements and don't post your birth photos on your website. Updated On: 6/9/05 at 05:24 PM

Carol Channing.

Having said that, I do have actual eyewitness firsthand proof of how crazy one or two or more of the people mentioned here actually are.

Many people do Rath! Take Michael Jackson for example. If he wants people to stop calling him crazy, maybe he should dress down a bit, stop buying Llamas and oversize Peter Pan sculptures, and not dance on vans during his child molestation trial.

If we're saying saying Amanda Plummer, shouldn't we be equal opportunity and add Tammy Grimes?

I suppose it's only right...

Judy Davis isn't crazy, just incredibly grumpy.

I think you find more "crazies" in film than on stage. Stage is such a collaborative form, if you are too "difficult", no one is going to want to work with you.

every PERSON is crazy....this thread is just senseless

True Wilcat, crazy birthed crazy. Grimes and Plummer are both on their own planet.
