I have a house built in 1952 with plaster over drywall. The paint sheets right down to the original perfectly smooth plaster skim. What gives? This has happened in every room in the house, so it is not a localized problem. No water leaks, nothing. Is there some special priming or sanding I should do before repainting? The plaster is extremely smooth, as if it is a skim coat or something.

We had a similar problem. It turned out glue residue from wallpaper remained on the walls when the paper was removed. There are products to remove the glue. You put those products on the spots first and then the paint will stick. It worked for us.
