What kind of lifestyle did famous entertainers have in the 1920s?

Answer

The same as they have today. In the 1920s actors/actress' were looked on as "white trash" by many people in society. If a daughter or son decided they wanted to become and actress or actor their parents went into rages because it was only the cheap who took this on as a profession and not classified as honest work. As the mid to late 20s rolled by actors and actress' were more accepted. They partied hard, went to secret "Speak Easies" during the prohibition and it became well noted off and on "Especially the Fatty Arbuckle Trial" accused of maliciously raping a young flapper at one of his parties is a crude way. He was famous, but lost his fame over the trial although never fairly convicted. Then there was Charlie Chaplin who married a 14 year old girl and that almost ruined his career. Even the actress' weren't above getting into trouble with "acting out" at parties, doing drugs, drinking too much and basically making a fool of themselves. They had so much money they simply didn't know what else to do with it other than have fun. Right up until the 1960s Movie Studios were fairly successful in covering up "their problem children ... actors/actress') but they couldn't always cover it up. Then began the Paparazzi style (not as much as it is now) and the media coverage began because movie magazines and papers realized that the odd and fast life of an actor/actress sold a lot of magazines and newspapers because the majority of the public clamored to read it even if they disagreed with it. To many of society it mean fame and freedom to do as you wanted (in the 20s money was scarce for most) and to others in society actors/actress' were the misfits of the earth.
