Celebrities—especially those in the arts—may seem like naturals for speaking about depression, as it has been well documented that a large number of musicians, writers, poets, and actors have reportedly had depression and/or bipolar disorder. That long list includes composers and musicians Ludwig van Beethoven, Samuel Barber, Frederic Chopin, Eric Clapton, Dolly Parton, Sting, Sheryl Crow, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys; writers Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, Truman Capote, Virginia Woolf, Mary Shelley, Leo Tolstoy, and F. Scott Fitzgerald; poets Emily Dickinson, Dylan Thomas, Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, and Walt Whitman; and actors Marlon Brando, Jim Carrey, Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Lange, and Linda Hamilton.
