        But they had unpleasant young lives.

          You can float in and out of rehab in a drug-fueled haze for a lot less than a billion dollars. The industry is horrifically abusive, particularly to young people. And for every Mary Kate and Ashley, there’s a legion of kids who endure all that abuse for nothing.
