It doesn't have to be this big, negative bummer. Steve Earle afterlifebigbummer share on social
I got to work with Dustin Hoffman on a film called 'Billy Bathgate.' I got to work with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn and Bob Zemeckis on 'Death Becomes Her.' There are still a few actors out there that I would like to work with. Bruce Willis actorbathgatebilly share on social
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous. Gloria Steinem concorporationdeath Change image and share on social
