Daniel Day-Lewis Breaks Up by Fax

There are a few ways to take
this Daniel Day-Lewis piece from the Daily Mail, by Paul Scott, and while some are flattering (reuniting father-in-law Arthur Miller with his estranged Down's Syndrome-afflicted son before the former's death in 2005), it's mostly
a hit parade document of take-down gossip, even if seemingly not sharply honed by personal animus.
All the juicy chart-toppers are here — breaking up with baby mama Isabelle Adjani by fax when she was pregnant with his son, breaking down on stage during a performance of
Hamlet, pissing off Liam Neeson and weirding out crew members by aggressively staying in character, plus other tales of carpentry and psychological duress. Good stuff, really. It's just that Day-Lewis is older (50), actually talented, highly respected and reclusive to boot, so he doesn't get any paparazzi shine for his act.
Don't let those smilin' eyes fool you, though... some true turbulence lies within. For the full read,
