Beschreibung

"Actors Who Quit" explores the fascinating stories of actors who voluntarily left Hollywood, offering a unique perspective on the entertainment industry. It delves into why some choose to walk away from fame and fortune, challenging the conventional narrative of unwavering ambition. These departures often stem from disillusionment with the industry's culture, a desire to pursue alternative passions, or a need to prioritize personal well-being. The book reveals that leaving acting isn't always a sign of failure but can be an act of self-determination.

 
The book examines the historical context of the film and television industries and breaks down the reasons for leaving, using case studies of former actors who became entrepreneurs, sought family life, or found creative outlets elsewhere. It highlights the changing social expectations and pressures of maintaining a public image, especially in the age of social media. It also analyzes the broader impact of these choices on celebrity culture and audience expectations.

 
Structured in three parts, "Actors Who Quit" first introduces the concept of voluntary career change. It then offers detailed, thematically grouped case studies. Finally, it analyzes the broader implications of these decisions, ultimately offering practical lessons for anyone contemplating a career shift, not just those in the film and television industry.

    The One Thing We've Never Spoken...

    An investigation into the failings of Australia’s mental healthcare system, grounded in a personal story of a mother–daughter relationship 
     
    Journalist Elfy Scott grew up in a household where her mother’s schizophrenia was rarely, if ever, spoken about. They navigated this silence outside the family home too; for many years, this complex mental health condition was treated as an open secret. 
     
    Over the past two decades, we have started talking more about common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. But complex conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and psychosis have been left behind, as have many of the people who live with these conditions or who care for them. 
     
    Part memoir, part deep-dive investigation, The One Thing We’ve Never Spoken About is filled with rage at how our nation’s public discourse, emergency services and healthcare systems continue to fail so many people. It is also a work of care, telling the little-heard stories of people who live with these conditions and work at the front lines of mental health. Above all, this timely, compelling book is informed by hope and courage, breaking down taboos and asking big questions about vulnerability, justice and duty of care. 
     
    ‘Expansive and generous … brimming with kindness, revelatory accounts and wit. The book itself is a thing of grace.’ Rick Morton 
     
    ‘Elfy brings empathy, reason and generosity to a book Australia so desperately needs.’ Zara McDonald 
     
    ‘Absorbing and mind-opening, this is panoramic in scope, while offering a deeply intimate portrait of fierce familial love and care.’ Benjamin Law

    Every young person is looking for freedom,
    
    but some have to fight harder than others …
    In 1960s Ireland there was a special place for disabled children: behind the walls of an institution, cut off from the rest of society.
    At just nine years old, Martin Naughton was one of these children. Along with his younger sister Barbara he was sent to a Dublin institution, far away from his Irish-speaking home in Spiddal.
    But Martin wouldn't be sidelined. With the help of some unexpected characters – and an unlikely encounter with his Celtic Football heroes – he began to change the way a generation of young disabled people saw themselves.
    This is the story of a boy who not only won his own independence, but also led the fight for freedom for all disabled people.
    'Martin was a formidable and tireless campaigner for the right of people with disabilities to live in their own communities and homes.' President Michael D. Higgins
    'Martin Naughton was a protector, a leader, a gamechanger. In reading this narration of his life, tears filled my eyes.' Dr Rosaleen McDonagh, playwright, rights activist and author of Unsettled.
