Movies, comedy, music, but someone who’s a star, well known. I used “had” because someone living can still change, and make friends. If you can only think of living people, try to pick the oldest, since chances are someone isn’t going to suddenly start becoming social at the age of 80.
It could be a loner, or it could be someone who has a spouse and children and prefers being a homebody when they’re not on the road or in the studio.
Artists tend to be introspective, but I heard from one that being famous is very lonely. It could be someone who might have wanted friends, but being a star might have made it difficult to hanging out with guys you went to school with, or even going out in general to have the chance to meet new people. It could be the nicest star, too. But it could be something related to something like agoraphobia, too. I just didn’t want the title to automatically give the idea that a certain star has a personality defect - but it could be.
Hard to define what really qualifies as a “friend” to someone who is famous. I’m sure they’re always surrounded by those in their line of work, those who work for them, fans, etc. but it would be hard to tell who they would consider a real friend.
I’m sure Michael Jackson always had people around but I don’t know of many outside of maybe Macaulay Caulkin or Corey Feldman who would have said “yeah, Michael Jackson was a really close friend of mine.”
Donald Trump has his family and plenty of business and political acquaintances that attend his gatherings but do you really think he has any close friends?
Liz Taylor seems to have been a good friend, insofar as any of us who only know what we read in the popular press can tell.
I suspect it’s hard to know if someone famous has friends or not, unless it’s well documented that they were peculiarly reclusive - Howard Hughes comes to mind, though he doesn’t fit your other criteria.
Benny Hill may qualify. Tremendously famous in the UK in his time, he lived a quiet and frugal life. He rarely socialized. Wikipedia says he liked to travel to France, where he could move anonymously in the crowds, and chat up folks.
One wonders if that was also the case for Kevin DuBrow, who was believed to have been dead for about a week, also from an overdose, before anyone noticed he was missing.
Kevin was the singer for Quiet Riot, and his brother is a well-known plastic surgeon who does a reality show called “Botched.”
I’ve always heard that Gene Simmons has gone through life with lots of girlfriends and sex partners, but no other friends.
Alan Ladd was not at all abrasive or snooty. My grandmother, a bit player without even an IMDB listing, was gifted his wire recorder to mail back and forth to my dad in military school (postage being cheaper than long distance phone). But Ladd would hide out alone on dark patios at Hollywood parties, unable to make small talk or find friends. Maybe it was the sense of isolation after his mother committed suicide by eating ant paste.
