As I recall, that was the problem of her career.

Valro,
Exactly.
Hollywood doesn't care if actors are drugged out day and night, as long as they make a profit. Judy Garland is a prime example - the studios even drugged her.
Linda Blair simply spent too much time with drugs and partying and not enough time on her career. She derailed it. -

Everyone assumes that just because it was the 70's and 80's that drugs where everywhere. This is not true. In hollywood during the late seveties and early 80's, there was not a buzz around drugs. The media actually left celbs alone for the most part. it wasn't until the show trials of the late 80's and early 90's that tabloids started stalking celebs.
People go to drugs for a variaty of reasons. And lets remember something, we dont know linda or her situation. -

When I interviewed her in the late 80s or early 90s (I forget), she was totally straight-edge. She gave the impression that her few personal follies were a long time ago. She was also nicer, funnier, and less pretentious about herself than almost any celebrity i've met.

not,it's not "utter rubbish", and why are you so hostile?
We are talking about 1980's ,an arrest, and a moderately successful actress. Were you around in 1980? Was Blair some huge bankable star? Did you read her imdb bio?
Do you think before speaking? -

Which celbs do you mean, and did they have more clout? It's not using the drug, but being arrested for it,and resulting damage to one's reputation. Even if Blair's controvery simmered down, the momentum of her career could still had been affected. I don't wish Blair any ill,just stating how the biz can lose their trust in an actor for doing certain things. She couldn't even book TV films after that incident.

I completely agree. Hollywood probably didnt want to publicize her life at the time and you knew it was going to come out so they just said the hell with it.
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.
