Dear Estrella,

I have heard little about famous actors and actresses who were
Theosophists.  John Algeo has written about Dana Ivey, an older
character actress, and the singer Burl Ives (who died in 1994
or so) as members of the TSA.  I once asked a ULT leader if any
famous people were members, and she named stage actress
Constance Cummings (who must be way up there now if she's still
alive.)  

In the 1890s a very famous actress, Florence Farr, was a
Theosophist in London.  But no one of such magnitude since then
has been as far as I know.

But hey, Scientology's the nastiest religion around and has a
whole bunch of celebrity endorsements.  Which should indicate
the level of discernment found in Hollywood.

Cheers,
Paul
