RE: CINETV COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER | 2023 | ISSUE 7

The first time I saw Jim Carrey was in a movie in the Dirty Harry series called Dead Pool, he was a rock musician who is murdered with a drug overdose, his performance really wasn't too long to judge. I remember seeing him in Peggy Sue Gor Married singing with Nicolas Cage. I had a video club and one of the movies I rented the most was Ace Ventura. I saw it, and for the sake of my finances I never told my customers that I didn't like it at all. However, that year, given my clients' preference for the actor, I managed to acquire The Mask and Dumb and Dumber. Dumb and Dumber was another disappointment for me, but in The Mask I did discover Carrey's comedic side, it was as if I was watching the characterization of a Cartoon.

I would highlight his dramatic performances in The Truman Show, Man on the Moon, and The Number 23. Among other comedies he was great in The Grinch, Liar Liar, Dick and Jane, Yes Man, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. His performance in Kiss Ass 2 was passable and I prefer to see him comedic and overacted as the macabre Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog and 2. He has participated in a TV series called Kiding, which I have not had the opportunity to see. This actor in many occasions reminds me of Jerry Lewis.

I knew that he had a sentimental relationship with singer Linda Ronstadt, married and divorced actresses Melissa Womer and Lauren Holly. He has been seen and related to Laurie Holden, January Jones, Anine Bing, Renée Zellweger and Jenny McCarthy. All this had cemented his reputation as a casanova.

Among his personal problems was the suicide of one of his partners Cathriona White, who left a letter in which she blamed Carrey for having been responsible for the end of the relationship. This fact unleashed in him a high level of depression which has affected him since 2015.
