Today's Blind Items - Want Some Money?

This actress was probably never higher than B- list. I am probably being generous with that listing. The only reason I am even putting her that high up is that she did have a nice recurring role on a hit show during one season of its run. Our actress started off young. Very young. She probably couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 when she worked with this former A+ list mostly movie actor. He was someone she would turn to as she moved into her teens and started using drugs and was always in need of money.

When she was about 16 or 17, she started using and it wasn't long before she made a call to him asking for money. He was happy to help. No questions asked. After a half dozen times asking though, he changed the script on her. If she wanted money she had to have sex with him. She was so addicted to drugs she willingly went along with it. Instead of trying to get her help, the Oscar winning actor just used her to fulfill his own twisted fantasies. When she was about 18, it was not just him that she was being forced to service. Our actor would ask if she needed money which was code for he had someone who wanted to sleep with her. She would always say yes, and actually began landing parts again because many of these men were producer and directors. None of the movies were memorable or ever really saw the light of day, but she did get some work. She thought she was going to make a comeback and even went to rehab. The thing is though, our actor liked her hooked and desperate and got her to start using again and servicing his friends.

Our actress finally broke free of his clutches and went back to her hometown but she couldn't kick the drugs and was seeing guys for money and drugs right up to her death.

  5. Bridgette Anderson for the actress.
    Ryan O'Neal for the A+ mostly move actor.

  6. I'm gonna go with Dana Hill, National Lampoons European Vacation and the A+ actor as Chevy Chase.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Dana Hill died of diabetes.

  8. My god this couldn’t be Amanda Peterson/River Phoenix? They were in explorers together at that age. She moved back to Colorado and died there but worked a bit in between. I loved him so can’t wrap my head around it....
    My first thought was Mickey rourke

      Trisha, first you suggested that something nefarious might have taken place on the Harry Potter set, and now you’re implying that River Phoenix was anything but the sweet, kind gentleman I’ve always thought he was. If you try to ruin pizza for me next, you and I are going to have words, haha. 😂😂

    Not Andersen, She died in LA, and then was transported and buried in her home town. ENTY states that she went back to her hometown and continued to turn tricks for drugs, right up to her death.

    1. Someday we'll get a blind about her, dammit. I know everyone here wants the scoop.

  10. The girl who played Eric Forman's sister in That 70s Show? Lisa Kelly was it? Something Irish anyway.

    1. Not her, but I'm sure Masterson had something to do with her downfall. Kutcher too, probably.

  11. "Instead of trying to get her help, the Oscar winning actor just used her to fulfill his own twisted fantasies."

    MG is the only Oscar winner here. The rest are either Oscar nominated or do not have one.

  12. Dana Hill was 21 when she worked with Chevy Chase, not 8 or 9, and European Vacation certainly saw the light of day. She also kept working in the industry up until the year she died, including a multi-season role on Duckman. Other than the fact that she died young, she doesn't appear to fit at all.

  13. Skye McCole Bartusiak was 8 or 9 when she did the Patriot with MG.

    She went on to do a few more relatively big movie roles as a kid, as well as a recurring role as Megan Mathesen in a season of 24 (which is described in the blind).

    Had a lull of work between 2006ish and 2009ish, when she was in her late teens. Then after 18th birthday, got in some projects like Good Day for It, Sick Boy, and a few short films none of which really ever got off the ground.

    She passed of a drug overdose/seizure in her hometown of Houston at the age of 22 in 2014.

  14. Skye was on 24 (recurring role on hit TV show) and died in Houston, her hometown. Only thing that doesn't really fit is that she was getting pretty steady work throughout her life.

    ReplyDelete
  15. +1 for Skye McCole Bartusiak, the hit show she was on being 24.

    ReplyDelete
  16. +1 pkelly, Skye McCole Bartusiak is the best fit so far.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I know this isn't a HIMMM BI but doesn't HIMMM always list MG as one of the good guys?

    1. Same question I have. RDJ also listed him as a good guy. I don’t buy it. Especially after some of his alcohol fueled rants.

      Delete
  18. With the combination of drugs that she died from, and if this is indeed her and she had a long history of drug use I don't understand how according to Wiki her Mom is quoted as saying...

    "Her mother said Skye "had been healthy and did not drink or do drugs", but had recently been suffering from epileptic seizures; she believed that this fact had likely played a role in her daughter's death."

    Denial maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  19. A+ actor could be Michael Douglas too they worked together in Don't Say a Word. Would he be considered "former" A+ though?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Lot of ugliness on that set, I'm sure.
      But I think you're right, Michael Douglas would be more permanent A. But ratings are iffy.

      Based on previous blinds, I'd say Douglas is a more likely suspect than Gibson.

      Delete
  20. Could be denial, or her not knowing the truth (being protected by lies from her daughter or other family members), or her trying to publicly protect her daughter's memory instead of going on record about any substance abuse.

  21. Good points @daria morgendorffer

    ReplyDelete
  22. This made me think Erin Moran

    ReplyDelete
  23. I just checked Skye McCole Bartusiak's imdb page. Half of her credits in later years are listed as "short" films, which I imagine are low-budget mini-films that might pay only a few thousand dollars. To say she was "steadily working" doesn't mean she was making a living.

  24. it's probably not MG because he's only referred to as an actor, not an actor/director.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Michael Caine won a Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules filmed in 1999 (which may be a little early to fit the "8 or 9" reference in the blind).

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yup pretty sure it's Michael Douglas, not Mel Gibson. Looking back on past Enty blinds that have been revealed this wouldn't surprise me for MD. Also he has at times been listed as Former A+.

    +1 on it being Skye Bartusiak/Michael Douglas

    ReplyDelete
  28. "I know this isn't a HIMMM BI but doesn't HIMMM always list MG as one of the good guys?"

    Mel may have some of his own personal demons, but I don't take him as the predatory type. Plus, when mot of H'wood was trying to take him down and get him perm blacklisted, if there was anything in his past close to this, it would have been "leaked" to the gossip rags for public consumption.

    ReplyDelete
  29. She was in a movie with James Woods in 2001.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I noticed the blind says "probably couldn't have been more than 8 or 9" when she worked with the actor. There's no "probably" to it; you can look it up. So that sounds like a bit of evasiveness, to keep from narrowing it down too closely. I wouldn't rule out a year or two younger or older.

  31. What about Heath Ledger?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Skye McCole Bartusiak and Heath Ledger

    I think that's it.

  35. dont think it is heath cause she was only 16 when he died

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ledger died when she was 16. Not him.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Adrian Brody is a pretty good guess. Smarmy AF.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Skye was so beautiful. This is sad.

    ReplyDelete

    1. My guess would be Douglas or Caine, whole have been implied to be pervy scumbags in other blinds.

      Delete
  39. Another of these appalling blinds where there are just so many possible villains. My $.02 worth -- not Mel Gibson. He's got other issues, but I don't see him doing this one, and as another poster noted, everything bad about him has probably already been leaked.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Gibson, Douglas and Caine are all permanent A+ list.

    ReplyDelete
  41. "Do you want some money? "I'll never teeeeeeelllllll"

    ReplyDelete
  42. If Mel Gibson is a good guy the world is a very effed up place. Pled out in court to beating up his ex.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I want some money...

    ReplyDelete
  44. If Enty considers wife beating, misogynistic, anti-semitic Mel Gibson to be one of the "good guys," then I'm exceptionally disappointed. As for the blind, I don't think MG is a paedo. It would have been leaked when he pissed off most of Hollywood. I think those who suggested Michael Douglas have got it right.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Former A * actor = James Woods, Riding In Cars With Boys. Likes them young.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't think James Woods has won an Oscar, but he's been nominated a couple of times. Not him.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Mel was listed as a 'good guy' because he took care of friends/colleagues and was generally pleasant to work with/for. His private behaviour is another matter.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Mickey D is definitely his fathers son.
