From the wikipedia Talk tab

quote:

I know people here love to hide the truth, but we really need to comment about the crack smoking, gay sex with homeless people reference. Apart from ALF, that's where people remember Max from. 118.90.50.22 (talk) 02:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC) I guess they won't be happy until they find him dead from a coke binge with male hookers. If they would at least print the truth here, maybe Benji Gregory would come to help him, or maybe that girl that was on Uncle Buck.

quote:

They interviewed one of the tricks that he was having interracial gay sex with, and he confirmed the story. That interview should be substantial enough to put the truth on the front page.

yeah sounds like things went downhill in his life and went to drugs but lol @ that person being sure to point out he had "interracial gay sex". Not only was he a gay man, but he was attracted to nonwhite men and had sex with them! how scandalous!

seriously if without context you have the urge to point out that 2 people having sex happen to have different skin color then you're a racist fucktard who misses jim crow laws

It really is fairly easy to argue that the sudden revelation of crack addiction and prostitution not too long after his ALF fame is Wikipedia material but if it is making that lovely guy angry to not include it that is a positive too

One of the writers of Alf was also a hard drug addict and wrote the memoir Permanent Midnight, later made into a movie featuring an early attempt by Ben Stiller at dramatic acting.

So I have a Max Wright story. My wife, in a past life, worked in film and TV, and she was a PA on the Norm show. One day, Max Wright did not show up for work. The immediate thought everybody had was "Oh, jeez, Max is dead. Who's going to go see if he is dead?" Being a lowly PA, my wife had to go check on him.

Max lived in the Melody apartments at the time, which happen to be directly across the street from the Warner Bros. lot, where they filmed Norm. She got the apartment manager to go up to Max's apartment to open the door for her. The entire walk to the door, my wife is just freaking out that she's going to find an ODed body; she's just ready to leap out of her skin. The manager, who really shouldn't have let her in, won't go into the apartment. So my wife creeps along, ready to bolt at any weird noises, to Max's bed, and touches him to see if he's alive...

But he was fine, he just overslept for many many hours because he, y'know, had problems. He was apparently perfectly fine and nice to work with, though.

He found put he had cancer and went full Live Like You Were Dyin’, which for him meant drinking a LOT and then he and his extramarital partner would pick up homeless men and pay them to smoke crack and have bareback orgies. Some were filmed, many weren’t. (Un?)Fortunately, he spent a few years living like he’d die any moment and ended up making it another 30 years before succumbing to lymphoma.

It’s a bit skeezy because of the exploitation of unhoused men and that, according to his partner, Max didn’t care if he got (and therefore spread) HIV/AIDS. But the hysteria was primarily “man is different than man was on funny alien TV show! man willing to be filmed kissing Black man on mouth! this is literally the end of civilization!”

"Celebrity abuses power and money to make homeless people prostitute themselves for their own entertainment" seems like an incredibly hosed up story regardless of era, gender or sexuality
