I've always wondered this about Hollywood. It sounds like a cesspool of overblown egos and new money.
Surely there must be some balanced people who are professional and take their talent seriously?

Many former Broadway and soap actors. The majority lead normal lives and have had no major drama. Would you know these names, maybe, maybe not. I would like to believe they have had successful fulfilling lives with normal ups and downs.

I would imagine that most public people are adept at keeping their personal business quiet and only put themselves out there when they have something to promote. Most drama surrounds a handful of individuals, like Affleck, and other people actively *seeking* drama like reality TV types and self-styled celebs.

Ms. Streep is hardly drama free. Many tales of her affairs with costars and/or her drama with costars who refused an affair. I seem to remember there being some local drama with her neighbors as well.

Jodie has had her share of dramas.
Her brother writing a tell-all. Some nutter trying to kill Reagan to impress her, however these are not Jodie's fault or doing.
But I believe she stole her wife from Melanie Mayron dumping her long time girlfriend. And there are those Kelly McGilles/Witney Huston rumours - probably an urban myth but who nows.
And openly supporting Mel Gibson doesn't go down well with everyone.

R32 You may not be old enough to remember the Burt Reynolds break-up. Not messy (like Loni Anderson) but not pretty either though it was more about Burt's ego than anything else to be fair to Sally.

Seems like the good ones are usually drama free. The ones who are always doing weird shit to get their names in the spotlight are the ones who give me pause.
The ones without drama end up being the ones who have the best careers and continue working up until old age. Betty White's a good example.

Hanks pitched a fit and got Winkler fired from directing Turner & Hooch, r57, for no good reason. Winkler has said there is no feud but Winkler isn't the kind of guy to say anything harsh about people publicly. The worst he's ever said about Hanks is that on Turner & Hooch he got along better with the dog than with Tom.

I just finished with season 2 of The Sinner on Netflix and I realized that Bill Pullman is one of those great actors that hardly ever features in celebrity news. According to Wikipedia he's been married to the same woman for a long time and has 3 kids.
I would count him as a professional actor without drama.
