It's real. And jerks who have the money, nothing better to do with themselves and have been criminally lazy most of their lives will do this to people. It has happened to me, as well as at least thousands of others.
Stephen Shellen was in the midst of starting a production company out of Vancouver , Canada when all this exploded. First he came home after being away shooting a movie to discover bruises on his then wife's face and then shortly after his 4 year old son was threatened to be hurt if he talked to his daddy. He has been tracked, followed, smeared and blacklisted. Sounds crazy but I know him and he is telling the truth. A real shame as he still is an amazing actor, writer artist and writer.
In the 1980s at the height of his acting career, Steven Shellen owned an exclusive, avant-garde, underground nightclub on Main Street in Santa Monica, CA called “In The Pink.”. I was very fortunate to have been his employee working at Pinks, his character was pure energetic creative genius with a heart of gold.
The opening weekend, we had movie producers and directors, A-listed actors, Los Angeles ecliptic eccentric artists, high-class people mingling with the hippiest Los Angeles 80’s underground party goers, all pack inside a small hole-in-the-wall, New York style raw brick interior building with local artists paintings hanging in the wall. We charged $50 dollars per guest at the backdoor during that weekend with people lining up outside in the dark back alley and wearing the latest fashion clothing; the back door was the only entrance and you can hear thumping music reverberating from inside the club out into the back alley by our DJ spinning the latest 80s music and some International songs that our DJ would find while traveling the underground nightclub circuits in Europe.
Steven Shellen would showcase, among with other directors including Sean Penn (“The Kindness of Women” that Sean Penn playwrote while serving his time in a Los Angeles jail an exclusively showcased at Pinks), doing theater plays at the club too, Steven would act on a small stage that was constructed with props during the day that he wrote with his fellow actor friends.
Pinks closed on Monday to Wednesday, transforming the club into an actor class studio or a local art auction, and on occasions had avant-garde artists from around the westside subtlety changing the theme inside the club’s atmosphere with creative freedom for the weekend club goers.
He started opening on Wednesday nights, showcasing Poetry Reading Nights that Hollywood movie stars, famous poets, playwrights, and screenwriters doing their stand up poetry reading in front of an exclusive crowd… plus who ever happened to be walking by the club from off of Main Street with the club’s front door being opened to the public.
Pinks was hippiest nightclub on the westside in the 80s, I remember bartending for the menbers of the Brat Pack, Robett Downey Jr, Sean Penn and Madonna (regulars), Chris Penn, Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols, U2 band members, Charles Bukowski, actors from Repo Man, Surf Nazi’s Must Die after acting in the club’s theatre plays, Bruce Willis, Leif Garrett and Justine Bateman, Meg Foster, Katey Sagal on our stage singing in her band “The Group With No Name,” Rob Lowe, Sandra Bernhard, Prince…just to name a few.
Steven Shellen is the real deal, and I am very fortunate to have met and talked with him on a regular basis. He once told me his story how when he was one of the top male models in Europe, that he spent a million dollars in just one year and was partying with Andy Warhol and his crowd in New York.
If he said he was involved in the high level Hollywood scene and the CIA corruption of Hollywood elites….I for one, have first hand knowledge that he was.
Love Ya brother, keep fighting the good fight man!
