There have been countless racists and anti-Semites over the years in the arts; Virginia Woolf, Patricia Highsmith, T.S. Eliot, Flannery O’Connor, H.P. Lovecraft, Dr. Seuss, Walt Disney (!!!) just to name a few. William S. Burroughs killed his wife, Phil Spector is also a murderer and, yet, his immaculate wall-of-sound productions are still blasting, justifiably so, on the radio on hot summer days (is there a better sensory-filled, audio-driven feeling than those great songs he created back in the 60s?) J.D. Salinger was, supposedly, a pedophile; Lord of the Flies author William Golding tried to rape a 15-year-old girl, both of these men have written books that are practically mandatory reading at almost ever high school in this country. Caravaggio was a pimp and a murderer. Charles Dickens, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald all treated their wives like total crap. Chuck Berry, by all accounts, was a hot-tempered asshole that also tried to sleep with a 15-year-old girl. I could go on and on.
History has always found a way to separate art from the artist.
Marvel's "Ghost Rider" just hired one of the best cinematographers working today. Linus Sandgren will serve as DP on Shawn Levy's MCU flick, and, most notably, the project will be shot on film.
