Most of them have business managers who only give them so much cash - walking around money really. Not enough to pick up a check. And most of them listen to their business managers - there are exceptions, of course. I remember a story, third hand, about Dustin Hoffman when he was filming "Little Big Man" in the Billings area. They hired a driver for him, who was used to being on the straight and narrow, as he was a laid off Forest Service employee. They gave him a bunch of money, say a grand, for expenses. The story goes something like this: Hoffman: "Did you spend any of that money yet?" Driver: "No need." Hoffman: "What? You didn't buy any fishing gear or anything like that? Come on, let's go buy some." Something like that. In other words, people like that live in a different world. I do not know any of them. But I have a friend who drove for this guy (click) when he was filming "White Fang" in Alaska. As a committed Mormon she does not stray out of her marriage(s) and rebuffed all his attempts to seduce her. I can't really blame him for trying.
