WIKIPEDIA has a long list of BP people as well as other list on the internet. Vincent Van Gogh - artist and Ernest Hemingway - writer are there. Among them many more such as Robin Williams. Many BP people are indeed creative. But I can only guess many years back, everyone just did not have a long life span. Probably many more health issues, diseases, and pledges. Early people, I can only guess, did not have the tools of recent history, and probably spent their time trying to survive working with animals and crops. When in depression or racing like crazy, I could not guess what happened. Not too long ago they were placed into mental institutions to rot out the rest of their lives being treated in unspeakable ways. If they were not already crazy, I think they went that direction. As I recall, correctly or not, all a family member had to do is get them taken away to such places where they may never have been released. I think many were put through untold horror. I also read it was cold as hell with little beading or clothing. Book I read - "Ten days in a crazy house." The lady who went in there was not crazy, but a reporter, and said even the sane was there. There was zero real help offered to anyone inside. No hope at all. She helped change laws years ago.
