Sorry, Maggs --- I wrote my reply in bits, as I had time or needed a break from work, over several hours...so, by the time I finished the Reply from some short notes I took after reading your post (to make sure I didn't forget the points I wanted to respond to), things conflated somewhat, including melding LVC into the "decline in fame" comment. ;P
But, Lee's career *did* decline in his latter years....due to several causes, as noted.
I'm glad Weinstein's fall (and I hope he never recovers, the jerk!) has finally created a major discussion on the Sexual Harassment and Abuse of Women in Society at large -- there have been more jerks getting the spotlight shone upon their behaviors, and they're paying for it: usually losing their jobs, and often facing legal action.
While the focus is mainly on wHorleyWood (director James Tobak, Amazon Studios head Roy Price, ex-Nickelodeon producer Chris Savino), the media lens is widening to other executives, including: Silicon Valley entrepreneur Robert Scoble, fashion photographer Terry Richardson, NEW REPUBLIC's Leon Wieseltier, celebrity chef John Besh, Olympic doctor Larry Nassar, Vox Media’s editorial director Lockhart Steele...and even female staffers supporting the European Parliament have come forward to voice allegations.
#MeToo helps Get the Word Out, of course, and -- with other outlets -- is building what I hope is a genuine Movement...
It's way, way overdue.
U go, Grrlz!! ;)
DCG.
