Google the list of famous actors dying from OD. Its astounding
We have a fundamental value difference here in how we see the content. You see it the same as Hollywood and for most of this, I just don't. So maybe we just agree to disagree, and that's totally okay. Hollywood pays actors hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars for movies. They're also in the SAG and that has its benefits.

At the low end here, and for MOST instances, we are talking largely about actors paid a few hundred to a thousand or more dollars for a whole spectrum of hardcore activity. In fact, most people come and go in a short period of time, and statistically don't do many scenes. The question (in my mind) isn't what should someone do with a Jenna Jameson or a Bree Olsen, because they're the one percenters, that's our Hollywood. Of course this is completely subjective, but I'm not suggesting that such content come down.

I thought the question here was about the real entry level here of one or multiple scenes. This is what I've seen cross my desk in the past. Usually from surviving family members, usually on people who didn't do very much. Holding on to a piece of truly unimportant content that's already aged when a mom or dad reaches out to tell you that their daughter committed suicide or died of an overdose doesn't really seem worth the rub to me.
