    It's sad that something awful has to happen to somebody for society to wake up & take action. But then again that's how we learn about things & how to properly deal with the situation just like Dorothy did. Thank you for sharing this video with us. : )

    It is a crying shame we've lost so many of Hollywood's great talents at a young age due to drugs and alcohol. Poor Wallace - it wasn't like he was a party boy and shot himself up for a thrill. He was in pain and got addicted by accident. I'm glad his wife stood by him. Thank you, Jordan, for all the wonderful videos you post -- Diane.

  • @robertnycguyraisedonrecord7587

    Read two Wallace Reid bio's, both so fascinating. My prize possessions include 2 early 1910's Wallace magazines and some lobby cards.

    Amazing that she advocated for this as early (for us) as the late '70's! Back then, I don't recall a thing about viewing addiction as a disease. She was quite ahead of her time.

    This really touches a nerve with me....the addiction being a disease. It truly, truly is a disease and it is so important that it be treated properly. So many people will dismiss addiction as being a simple choice and that is such a harmful attitude to have. So thank you for also including that part in this vlog because hopefully someone doubting addiction as a disease may decide to look further and realize it really is a disease...a cunning and baffling disease.

    • @marlisamorgan2
      @marlisamorgan2 Před rokem

      You are so absolutely right about everything you said in your post. Sadly and unfortunately, people look at addicts as dirty, low-down, disgusting, losers who deserve to live on the street and be treated like trash. I hope, one day, people will get educated about addiction and that will all change. 🙏🙏🙏

    My Daddy was born in 1910 and he had such a nice signature and handwriting. Seeing Wallace Reid's signature reminded me of that. They don't stress much today about having nice penmanship in school. I wish you would do a video on PaulDeLongpre. When you said DeLongpre Street that reminded me of him. I was fascinated about him when I bought a book about him. He was a famous painter that lived in Hollywood and had the most beautiful house and gardens. Sadly they tore the house down.

    Jordan, I found you through ATW...your vlogs are so fun...I live in Seattle and due to kidney failure and being g on dialysis I am unable to travel as I use to...it's so nice having the option to see things vicariously through a few really genuine vlogers...
    sadly lately, I have found myself defending ATW against so many trolls, it's sad that people trying to do positive, uplifting things have to face so much negativity...
    thank you for offering us the opportunity to come along on your journeys...for so done like me, it means the world!

    Very interesting vlog Jordan , I think this was such a respectfully done tribute to this young actor who like many suffer a work accident & are pushed to the side when they become useless in their company. I was injured myself from a work mishap ,boy do I understand you sir. RIP Mr. WilliamWallace Reid sorry for you untimely ending. Maybe partly because of you I was lucky to opt for non addictive pain solutions .

    Jordan your videos are really inspiring. I feel as thought I'm there in L.A. This piece on Wallace was heartbreaking. It kind of reminded me of silent film star Ramon Navarro who also started out on top but whose life also ended tragically. Is there a chance you might do a video on this great actor? Again thank you for all the hard work and time in making your videos and sharing them with your fans. I'm praying for you. GOD bless.

    Wallace Reid was a really a good looking man and a nice actor. Such a sad end and a real shame that at the nobody at the studio intervened. They were responsible for getting him addicted and finished him off.
    They did terrible things to Judy Garland getting addicted to drugs and over working her and then threw her away every time she had a nervous breakdown.
    It's a cruel world.

    I've been using an S8 for the past two weeks. It's a good phone, but be sure to install a glass screen protector and a case. You can record video in 1080p60 and in 4K. Even though it is "water resistant" (not water proof) I'd recommend not intentionally placing it in water, as some people have said the USB C charging port may not work afterwards.

  • @carenclarke6896
    @carenclarke6896 Před 3 lety

    It is 2020, I have been a lion heart for about 2 years, and I have never seen the story of Wallace Reid. As usual, I am blown away from Jordan's knowledge and research.
    I remember hearing about Wallace Reid as my family has always been involved in Hollywood since the silent era, some involved shamefully so. I didn't know how bad he suffered as his story would make the studio's seem callus and not interested in investing in the human side of their of their talent. I always heard that for decades and some studio heads today would stop at nothing to squeeze every dime including using their talent's physical and emotional energy regardless of hurting their commodities for their financial gain as Hollywood was a big business and less of an Art.
    What is interesting is Wallace really did not have an addiction he had a dependency because he was prescribed morphine from his physicians that's the studio heads used with little regard to the talent's help history. Wow, how stigma was a big part of shaming their abused talent that needed to be hidden from the general public and still persists today.
    Learning about Wallace Reid's story: addiction to morphine that was not his fault really touched me. Kudos to Dorothy Davenport who tried in her own way to get efficient help for her beloved and Dorothy was trying to destigmatize what happened to Wallace Reid.
    Thank you for a vlog I never saw before but is a part of my history too. I am ashamed of the cruelty Hollywood bestowed onto their incredible talents to make another buck.

    Tragic about what happened to Wallace Reid. Loved the original 1937 version of "A Star is Born" with Fredric March and Janet Gaynor. Sadder yet is The Dude's demolished Hollywood Bowl being replaced with more high-density beehive apts. to add to the already cumbersome traffic.

  • @veedejames721
    @veedejames721 Před rokem +1

    A lot of people don't know that most addicts started because of the over use of prescribing strong narcotics for pain.pain killers were not meant to be a life long treatment.leading some to become addicted. Because they were prescribed by a legitimate Dr. They felt it was ok. Dr shopping became a problem. You should prescribe in small doses for no more than 10 days. Today's opioids and other pain killers is not as strong as it used to be. Unless you have a medical situation that is lifelong, or you have a terminal condition.laws have changed. The amount and dosage have changed.most are referred to pain clinic. Laws change in 2016. Drs have to limit the number of people they treat. Substitute certain meds or risk losing their license. So no many take street drugs that are dangerous. Something to think about. I'm glad of the law changes. Yet it seems some slip through the system because they can pay for certain drugs. Sad this happened to this man, accepted no responsibility for his addiction. You can't cut somebody off cold turkey without consequences. Today this should not happen.im against prescribing strong drugs that are addicted to young people. And people who don't need them.know the alternative. Drs have had to change not only what they prescribe but the amount and the dosage. I know about surgery.but normal pain Don last more than a week. If it does then something else is going on. This has been going on for a long time. Getting addicted is easy for some. Treatment can be very expensive.counseling, and other therapy should be advised. Some that can pay for opioids and other drugs can slip through the system. The fact many have been caught, is good. This should not be happening today. Even those with certain conditions and illnesses, have to abide by the laws and new changes that's suppose to change laws. Should be under a Drs care.blood work is done every 3 months. If the med is not present. Your Dr has the right to no longer give you that drug. Fact he don't want to loose his license.if one choose to buy street drugs. Please know the danger. It might not be what you think. So be aware of the new laws. What your Dr can and cannot do. Take care, God Bless. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee J. ✌️🖖💓✨🙂👋.
