How much of Steve Martin's brilliance was on the page versus pure improv genius?

I've always thought you were a fantastic actor. Particularly loved Slums of Beverly Hills. Any insight as to what exactly happened to Natasha? One day, she's on the path to a pretty strong character/indie acting career, then all of the sudden she's tabloid fodder. Then, next thing you know, she's back to acting and seems really together. Did she struggle with the post-child star mania, or was it something deeper?
Also, you seemed pretty well prepared for stardom. What do you attribute that success to?
Finally...at auditions...it pretty much always comes down to you and Jason Schwartzman, right? Have a great day!

It depends on what you mean by open, and where you're asking about.
In our area, the criminal and civil courts are conducting hearings remotely, but no one wants to enter criminal pleas over Zoom, because we'd be dealing with post conviction hell for the next three years, and the civil courts are never in a rush to do anything, so they are loving the break from pro sups and discovery disputes. And eviction work? Forget about it. Closed down until probably August (because a lot of properties are Federally backed, and the CARES act prohibits even initiating evictions for ANY reason until the end of July). The family courts, like the civil courts, are slow moving, so they're just accepting continuances without agreement from opposing counsel. It won't be a problem for a while, but if it keeps up for the rest of the year, it's going to start to get tricky. What do you do when you have an emergency custody motion, and the Court isn't allowing in-person hearings, and the GAL's are not able to conduct interviews? I shudder to think about it, but never touch family law myself. And thank god for that.
It's a mess. But the short answer to your question is yes and no. Where I am, they're open, but they're a damn sight from actually functioning to dispose of cases or get anything substantive done right now.
Edited to remove a redundancy.

I'm struggling with this definition. Are we talking pure population numbers? How, precisely, are you using the words "minority" and "majority?"
Maybe the easier question to ask: why not just focus on Gen Z generally, rather than create content from the loaded position of "us" versus "them?" Aren't you kind of contributing to the the "problems that many democracies today face with populism...?"
