Today's Blind Items - The Movie That Got Her Hooked

This actress is probably C list. Name recognition is probably A list. She has had a long battle with drugs and booze and addiction. It can all be traced back to one particular movie. Our actress was just peaking. She had a television show and then she decided to take on the filming of a movie while she was also filming the television show. Her boyfriend at the time was an A list celebrity. Now he is probably a C list celebrity. He gave our actress her very first bump of coke and said it would help her get through the day. Yeah, it helped her get through that day but there were 40 more days of filming and she increased those bumps from one a day to 20 a day. Things got so bad, no one was sure that the movie would ever be finished. The tv show had a definite change from ones she filmed before getting hooked and those after. Her boyfriend at the time got her pregnant but blamed it on some other guy even though our actress was only seeing him. Our actress had a miscarriage and dumped the boyfriend soon after but then went on a crazy bender where she was with multiple guys and was just out of control.

  3. Re Pam: looks like she was still married to Tommy when she made Barb Wire, for what that's worth.

  4. Pam and Bret Michaels

  5. Could it be Lara Flynn Boyle. Maybe 'peaking' was a hint, bc of Twin Peaks. She was in a few movies, including Afterglow.

  6. This could be anybody from Amanda Bynes to Pam A.

  7. I thought of LFB, too. Who was she dating during Twin Peaks?

  8. Isn't Pamela Anderson described as a celebrity now rather than an actress? She's more famous for being famous than for acting.

  9. Karen, I also think Pam stil has A name recognition, not just almost A.

    OT, so sue me, but too good not to share:

  10. If you check out the link, you'll see Richard Dean Anderson with a sweet blond mullet. You're welcome.

  11. I could see this being Amanda Bynes and Frankie Muniz (movie would be Big Fat Liar) but I'm not sure they ever actually dated.

    ReplyDelete
  12. If this is Lara Flynn Boyle, I would think that the TV show referenced would be Boston Legal or The Practice, not Twin Peaks. I can't recall any of her boyfriends except Jack Nicholson.

    1. David Spade dated her. That has always seemed really weird to me.

  13. @Jennifer H., David Spade also dated Heather Locklear. I don't get it. He looks like a rat.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm thinking Heather Locklear. Trying to make the rest fit. As far as I'm reading it doesn't look like the celeb bf was in the movie, so it could really be anyone.

  15. I was thinking Demi Moore, on General Hospital at the time they filmed St Elmos Fire. Joel Schumacher almost fired her because of the drugs. Wasn't she dating Emilio Estevez at the time?
    I know I'm wrong, but she instantly popped into my head!

  16. LFB did MM3 during The Practice
    early 2000's
    Ms Anderson did Barbwire mid
    1990's.
    Can't believe either of these gals waited that long to sample cocaine.
    It's Hollywood!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. What about Heather Graham? Was also in twin peaks and dating James Woods around the same time.

  18. LFB dated kyle maclachlan in the Twin Peaks days. I hate to admit it, but it fits.
    (and since Kyle was also in Lynch's Dune, this TOTALLY asks for dune/spice related jokes.)

  19. Mischa Barton filmed "The Oh in Ohio" while still on The O.C. & her character definitely changed. She ruined that show. I guess her boyfriend was either Brandon Davis or Cisco Adler.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Love the MacGuyver link! I had NO IDEA he dated so many from hollywood! He certainly has a type though, doesn't he!?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Helen Hunt. Hank Azaria. She got really thin after her movie career took off with "Twister." She and Hank didn't last much longer.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm in with ulalume on the Mischa Barton guess.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm thinking Mischa Barton also.

    Janine Turner. She was on "Northern Exposure" when she did "Cliffhanger" with Sly Stallone.

  25. I like the Misha guess!

    1. movie was American Graffiti and tv was One Day at a Time.

      Delete
    2. I like this guess, Agent. Especially since this BI kinda sounds like it was drawn from the pages of a tell-all. And I believe Mackenzie wrote one of those a while back. Anyone out there read her book?

      Delete
    3. Well, sadly, American Graffiti was two years before One Day at a Time started.

    4. Fru, so close:)

  27. From the reading I was thinking Mischa Barton. Glad to see others agree.

    ReplyDelete
  28. My first thought was LFB, but then it often is.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm thinking this is Mischa too, fits perfectly.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Mischa was the name that immediately popped into my head while reading.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I read Mackenzie's book. Her first time trying cocaine was at age 11 or 12, her and her brother stole it from their Dad's stash. She was using cocaine long before One Day At A Time

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks, Cecilia. I thought her dad had a hand in Mackenzie's drug use, but thought maybe he just (!) smoked weed with her. Silly me.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Mackenzie and John used to do great interviews on Howard Stern's show, you know, way back when his show was interesting and funny. She told a story of how her pop used to own a pharmacy and he would order shitloads of pharmaceutical cocaine to trade with gangsters for smack. This was back before the Colombians figured out the smuggling game and cocaine was still a rich man's sport.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Mischa B is a great guess.

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Count-and that fits with the story in Keith Richards book about John Philips offering him some pharmaceutical grade cocaine and Keith giving him some pure heroin. He claims that JP got hooked on heroin faster than anyone he's ever known.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I thought Mischa while reading it too - but none of her boyfriends have been A list anything so that is a little confusing.

    The OC sucked when she was no longer on it.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think Hayden P. She dated Stephen Coletti from Laguna Beach (big at the time).

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah, Poppa John was really a horrid human being, absolute mess, but holy shit could he right a song. I also like the furry hats he wore in the early days.

    ReplyDelete
  39. No guess but Kyle Maclaclans is from my town. Still boggles the mind

    ReplyDelete
  40. Shannen Doherty - mallrats w jason london.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Rose McGowan and Manson? Charmed being the show and possibly jawbreaker for the movie?
