Today's Blind Items - The Dealer

This actor was permanently A list. He was an Oscar winner. He was an Emmy nominee. He also was one of the biggest drug dealers in Hollywood. It was all an accident. He loved cocaine and bought some nearly every single day. This was when cocaine was not everywhere in Hollywood. This was the late 60's and early 70's and everyone would always ask him for some. So, eventually he just started buying it and selling it. He loved it because it made him also much much more popular with women than he had been. Women started throwing themselves at him to get coke. One of those women co-starred in a movie with  him. She played a waitress. He loved her. He was all over her. The thing is, the guy who thought he was her boyfriend got upset. He beat the crap out of our actor so badly that he couldn't really walk right for the rest of his life. But, that led him to trying other drugs and he also became one of the largest dealers of LSD in the whole state.
