I wouldn't consider Busey A-list but he has had a long career punctuated by a head injury and subsequent troubles.

His "most loving friend in the business" is Kirk Douglas, whose photo (a still from the 1960 movie "Spartacus") hangs on the wall of Valenti's Washington office. And he proudly asserts that, other than his wife of 38 years, Mary Margaret, the person who had the biggest effect on his life was his former boss, President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Film star Burt Lancaster’s sexual attack on comic Sara Mason when she was 11
Sara Mason’s first full-length Edinburgh Fringe show is billed as comedy and is titled Burt Lancaster Pierced My Hymen (When I Was 11).
This is not hyperbole. It is true – with all that the title implies.
Last night, I told Sara that her show may not get as many laughs as she may have hoped for, because it is very difficult to laugh when your mouth is almost continually wide open and your jaw is repeatedly hitting the floor.
“That,” I said to her, “was not your original title for the show, was it?”
“No,” she said. “It was originally going to be called From Hollywood To Homeless – but I will save that story for another year.”
“And,” I asked, the title Burt Lancaster Pierced My Hymen (When I Was 11) was suggested by Tinky Winky from Teletubbies?”
Sara’s show is directed by the multi-talented Dave Thompson who played the above mentioned part on children’s television but was replaced because his “interpretation of the role was not acceptable”.
“I was dubious about the Burt Lancaster title,” Sara told me. “I was dubious about even doing the story.”
“Even last year,” I said, “you were dubious about telling the story as part of a show.”
During last year’s Fringe, Sara and I shared a flat in Edinburgh.
“Well you,” Sara said to me, “must have been the second person I ever told that story to, the first person being my ex-husband.”
“How did he react?”
“He tried to sell the story to the newspapers.”
“With your knowledge.”
“Oh yes.”
“Why didn’t they pick it up?”
“Because (she named another victim who was sexually attacked by Burt Lancaster) was alive at that time and he didn’t want it printed. He said: This is my life; I don’t want it discussed. He was so violent and vehement about it, so we dropped it.”
“One reason the show is so powerful,” I said, “is because the audience thinks it knows the worst from the title but, in fact you are very graphic about what actually happened – and then there is this extra unexpected thing they get hit with.”
“What inspired me and encouraged me to do it on stage,” explained Sara, “was seeing Chris Dangerfield’s show Sex With Children last year, because I thought Wow! I’ve got an anecdote quite similar to his and mine involves a famous film star.”
“So why were you so worried about telling the story in a show?”
“I was worried about my daughter, apart from anything else.”
“I always,” I said, “thought Burt Lancaster was gay, because there were rumours about him and his circus partner Nick Cravat.”
“Bisexual,” said Sara. “He had five children and three wives. But he was a paedophile. That’s clear.”
Sara was brought up in Hollywood.
“Some of the child actors,” she said, “have come out now about Hollywood being a hotbed of paedophiles.”
“So this year,” I said, “your show is entirely truthfully called Burt Lancaster pierced My Hymen (When I Was 11). What’s next year?”
“The Beginner’s Guide To Bondage,” Sara told me. “I already have a set all worked out.”
“Why,” I asked, “is it called The Beginner’s Guide To Bondage?”
“Because I’m going to have a cross and I’m going to give a demonstration.”
“Why you?” I asked.
“Why me?” Sara laughed. “Ohhhh! that would be telling! But we all have to have a day job, don’t we?”
Having shared a flat with her last year, I know the Burt Lancaster and Bondage shows are only the tips of a flotilla of icebergs. As I left her last night, she said: “My father was a psychiatrist in Hollywood. He wasn’t allowed by his professional ethics to discuss the stars’ problems with outsiders. But I was his daughter. He told me the stories.”
Sara is by no means a one-shock storyteller. To adapt the most famous quote from All About Eve… Fasten your seatbelts, it’s likely to be a bumpy few years.

In 2005, Feldman made his stage debut in the positively reviewed off-Broadway play Fatal Attraction, a Greek Tragedy, a parody of the seminal 1987 film Fatal Attraction directed by Timothy Haskell. Feldman played the lead character, named Michael Douglas.

Their marriage was met with many other challenges over the years, including Kirk's unfaithfulness, which was referenced in his 2009 one-man-show Before I Forget.
However, the actor told the weekly that his wife turned a blind eye to his misdeeds, citing, 'A European woman has a different frame of reference.'
'After 60 years of marriage, you go through a lot of obstacles - and all of them were beautiful,' Anne responded.
Michael Douglas never had throat cancer, as he told the press in 2010.
The actor now says he had tongue cancer. Douglas said he hid the diagnosis at the urging of his doctor to protect his career.
"The surgeon said, 'Let's just say it's throat cancer,' " Douglas told fellow actor Samuel L. Jackson for a segment that ran on British television as a part of Male Cancer Awareness Week.
Douglas says that the doctor told him if they had to do surgery for tongue cancer, "it's not going to be pretty. You could lose part of your tongue and jaw."
Michael Douglas' public relations team went into damage control mode Monday, insisting the actor never said he contracted throat cancer from oral sex.
“He wants to make it very clear he never said that was the particular cause of his particular cancer,” Douglas’ publicist, Allen Burry, told the Daily News.
Douglas’ flack was forced to backtrack after his boss, in an eyebrow-raising interview with The Guardian newspaper, blamed his cancer on “a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer.” “This particular cancer is caused by HPV," he says in a recent interview.
“This particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from oral sex, he said.
The 68-year-old star of “Basic Instinct” and “Wall Street” had previously blamed the cancer that sidelined him on nicotine and alcohol.
Burry refused to concede Douglas’ words might have caused people to conclude he got cancer from sex. And when pressed whether Douglas tested positive for one of the human papilloma virus strains linked to oral cancer, Burry said, “I don’t think it’s really anybody’s business anymore.”
At the time, he attributed the illness to stress, his previous alcohol abuse and years of heavy smoking.
But in June this year he made comments saying the HPV virus - which is contracted through oral sex - could have been the cause of his cancer.
Embarrassed: Catherine was reportedly humiliated after Michael claimed on Graham Norton in April that the HPV virus, which is contracted from oral sex, caused his cancer and didn't clarify it was before he met her.
Douglas backtracked on his remarks, but Catherine was ‘embarrassed’ because he didn't clarify he was exposed to the virus before meeting her, according to People magazine.
It has been claimed that this was the tipping point and a source told the publication: ‘Things went downhill from there.’
Director Steven Soderbergh first spoke with Michael Douglas about the idea of doing a Liberace film during the production of Traffic (2000), but had trouble figuring out an angle for it that would differentiate it from a traditional biopic.[8] In the summer of 2008, Soderbergh contacted screenwriter Richard LaGravenese with the idea of adapting Scott Thorson's memoir Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace.[9] In September 2008, the project was officially announced with Matt Damon close to signing on to play Thorson and Douglas in talks to portray Liberace.[10]
The following year, Douglas officially signed on to play Liberace alongside Damon.[11] The film spent several years in development while Soderbergh had difficulty securing funding, with Hollywood studios saying it was "too gay".[12][13][14] During this time, Douglas and Damon remained adamant that they would appear in the film despite its lengthy development.[9] Ultimately, the film was picked up by HBO Films and shot on a budget of $23 million over thirty days in 2012.[2]
