Celebrity working class heroes

She was more than that.

Celebrity is corrupting anyway, like the film maker who wanted celebrity by making a film about her without her permission.

Heres a good one about Brando buddy. He had involvement with the Black Panthers and was a supporter of anti Colonial struggles.

David Cassidy was a supporter of the Black Panthers.

David Cassidy was a supporter of the Black Panthers.

Really????!!!!!

I used to hate him when I was a teenager, I've suddenly developed much more respect for him all of a sudden.

How's she a celeb?

they made a hugely successful film about her, she is a massive celeb in india - stop being so anglocentric!

Which she didn't want making in the first place!

It is morally wrong in my opinion, as she said it distorted her life, as she had no input into how the film was made. And considering the graphic rape scenes, she was disgusted that it was being made, and tantamount to inviting people to watch her being raped again. Her voice should have been respected in that regard.
