The Trivia page said she was arrested for cocaine overdose in 1988, not long after "Flowers in the Attic" came out.
Was she already an addict when that movie was made?!! Or did she become entangled in it from the popularity that resulted?

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

If she overdosed on cocaine not long after the movie, I'd be willing to bet that wasn't the first time. Don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet she was an addict while the movies was made.

You can't be sure she was an addict during filming of that movie. I became a coke addict within a month of trying it. It's a hard drug to kick too. Messes with one's seratonin, and getting off of it makes one tired, depressed, and gain weight.
