Today's Blind Items - Exhaustion
Earlier today one of my most favorite people tweeted this. "I feel like I've lived a sheltered life. To this day, I've never met anyone hospitalized for 'exhaustion'."
The person who Tweeted it is, Lisa Rieffel Dunn. So, I checked her IMDb page to see if this was possible. I ran across a few people right away so with her permission to use the Tweet but in no way shape or form did she contribute to this blind, lets have some fun.
- Go to her second credit. There is an actress from that show that I once saw unconscious from drugs. She basically ruined her career with drug use.
- I forgot she was on Ann Jillian's show. I miss Ann Jillian. She needs to come back to tv.
- The Cosby Show. Three actresses from that show had some serious nose candy issues. One still does.
- The Trials Of Rosie O'Neil. Did Sharon Gless use some drugs? Probably, but this is not about drugs on this one. You will have to click full cast to see this person. He used to be a B-/C+ list actor. He had a chance to go higher, but his first big break as a main cast member in a show was short lived because he had sex with the director's teenage mistress and the director said all kinds of things about him to everyone so he was only able to get mostly one offs or a couple of minor recurring type roles so he quit.
- Blossom. Click on full cast. There is an A list actress (for her genre) on there. I'm surprised she is alive after the 90's from all the drugs.
I could go on all day with these. So, I will. The later blind items will just be a continuation.

ReplyDeleteIt's a living. My guess is Crystal Bernard because I remember her being an innocent type, and then she started dating drugged out celebrity types, can,t remember who off hand, but remember being surprised by them.
ReplyDeleteShe hasn't changed much in thirty years either.
ReplyDeleteBernard dated Rush Limbugh
ReplyDeleteI remember watching something with her in it (could have been Blossom-I remember she played her dads gf) with my mom and my mom would just gush over "HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS, HOW STUNNING, A TRUE LOOKER" and just thinking "Is my married mother a lesbian or what "...lol..she does the SAME thing with ScarJo ...
ReplyDeleteThought maybe he was looking for an actress from the show, but maybe not lol. Or maybe I'M translating enty speak.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that show!!!
ReplyDelete3) Bonet, Keyshia, and Raven(still). Explains everything she says and does these days.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it's not Bonet.
ReplyDeletesay it ain't so!! love her. she always looked fab -- didn't LOOK like she was an addict.....didn't mess up her lines, either!
ReplyDelete3 Could also be Keshia Knight-Pulliam-whateverthefuckhernameisnow. Lots of talk about her over the years. Mostly alleged lesbo/beard type of stuff, though.
ReplyDeleteI would take Phyllicia off that list & add Lisa Bonet.
ReplyDelete"It's a Living" loved that show:)
ReplyDeleteActually I'm way off. He"s referring to the show that went by Ann Jillian, not It's a Living. Oops.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not Fionola.She always seemed so sweet, classy and put together in interviews
ReplyDelete#5 - Phyllis Diller?
ReplyDeleteI love Ann Jillian too. She played Dainty June in "Gypsy"
ReplyDeleteOf course nobody gets hospitalized for "exhaustion". That's not a medical disease/diagnosis.
ReplyDeleteBasically, anything that lands a celebrity in a hospital that would be embarrassing, damaging to their reputation or marketability gets labelled by their publicists as "exhaustion".
Typical causes for hospitalization/observation labelled as exhaustion include: Alcohol or drug overdose, other substance abuse related complications (including complications at the end of a lengthy drug binge, withdrawal, or detox), psychiatric incident (including manic episode, suicide attempt, hypoglycemia from anorexia/food absention).
