I mean there are still guys in the industry like Danny Trejo, and a lot of old actors came from money too - James Dean and Clint Eastwood could both trace their lineages back to the Mayflower, Elizabeth Taylor's dad was an art dealer.
Also the tiny amount of research I did on these people shows that a bizarre amount of actors in the 60s were raised as Christian Scientists :soviet-hmm: what's up with that
There was a huge growth in Christian Science between 1900 and 1950, so that would have been the correct time to be raised as one. I guess part of it was their newspaper, which is still huge. It's won seven Pulitzers. Probably involves a lot of media connections.
I've always guessed Christian Science grew so fast in those decades specifically because that's when more modern medical practices started becoming the norm in America. Widespread distrust and alienation going to hospitals and regimented medication programs when before it was more like door to door doctors with magical elixirs.
My family traces back to not exactly the mayflower but near enough. We’ve been poor as fuck the entire time except a couple generations ending with the boomers. Long-standing mayos can be proles too.
