@ #4 - not exactly a curse.. he now makes money off people seeking religious advice.. lol.. smart move imo :P.
As the big sci fi novelist said (loosely): If you want to make real money, you have to start your own religion. -

I wouldn't say Glynnis had no career. Maybe not a superstar career but she's doing OK. She still works and has a movie coming out soon. And she still looks good for someone over 50. Oh, and she was in one of the funniest movies of all time:

Well, I suppose one could argue that it's ironic in that after doing a movie about a boy with an immune deficiency, one would think that everybody on the cast would be extra careful in avoiding getting AIDS because it's an immune deficiency.

As a sort of addition to your "number two" point, actor JOHN MEGNAwho plays one of Travolta's classmates(but who may have been best known as the young neighbor kid in "To Kill a Mockingbird") also died from AIDS! I don't know if it would be a stretch or not to surmise that, because "Boy" director RANDAL KLEISER is gay, perhaps quite a few of the cast in his movies might be as well!
