Today's Blind Items - Killing Herself

It has been awhile since you thought of this person. By thinking of her, I mean having her enter your brain when you saw her on a program talking about her past. If you are of a certain age or enjoy reruns she was a part of your weekly life. For a few years. She disappeared like so many actresses her age. There was not much more for her after her early success other than made for tv movies and a failed pilot or three. Still out there trying to earn a living as an actress she has dropped to C+ list. I might be willing to give you B- just because of the show and her past but to anyone who has not seen her show or known of her past it is C+ for sure.

A couple of years ago she was forced to take a break from acting because no one would hire her. She looked like death. Her issues coming back. Not drugs. Almost as devastating to her health though. She said she fought back and landed a role. A decent comeback role. Some schlock where she in the top ten of billing. You take what you can get though at this point. The thing is when she was filming, they had to reduce her part. Significantly. Her issues were front and center. She was so weak she could barely stand some days. People on the set seriously thought they would find her dead whenever they went to knock on her trailer. She needs help. People are trying to help but are having no luck. Unless she gets help within the next few months, she will die.

Tracey Gold or Lara Flynn Boyle. Justine Bateman's retreat from the limelight was caused by a stalker. She might have also had a drug problem while dating Leif Garrett but she's never looked ill.

maybe Scarlet Pomers from Reba

but Scandal is not "schlock"

Elisa Donovan/Clueless perhaps.Film and then TV show between '96-99 I think.

Derek Harvey said...

nevermind completely dropped out of acting in 2007

Derek Harvey said...

pretty sure this is the answer

" By thinking of her, I mean having her enter your brain when you saw her on a program talking about her past. "

She was on shows like ET almost every week for 10 years talking about her anorexia

I like this, but I googled a pic of her from a week ago and she looks normal hollywood 50 yo actress thin.

Tia said...

Just saw Tracy on Hollywood Medium, no way is she ana anymore. Very healthy looking, probably a US sized 10/12.

Tootie said...

This is Kate Jackson

Kathy said...

Kim Delaney. Heavy drinking

SnJ said...

She's has nothing on her filming schedule since 2007, according to IMDB. Are you thinking of the other one, Jaclyn Smith? She was in some awful looking Lifetime movie last year.

TrueDat said...

Who cares. Wahhh

Guessing said...

Justine B is a senior at UCLA. She has a blog about being a re-entry student.

Katie said...

Skinny woman from spin city and hot in Cleveland

Turimukitu said...

Katie, I think you might have it: Heather Locklear. She was first on my mind.

Dee Dee said...

Heather Locklear?

Bootsie said...

Cybil Sheppard????

AJ said...

Sarah Michelle Gellar

"I hope not sporadically...". Lol

Charles said...

I"m thinking someone older, who was big on TV years ago- Tina Louise, perhaps? Several generations have grown up on reruns of "Gilligan's Island" and she recently gave a print interview about film she just made. She also happens to be 81 now, so it would make sense if she were ill on the set.

My two cents said...

Tara Reid? Perhaps Sharknado was the movie?
