Growing up as a movie star in the 1980’s was no easy deal. There were no boundaries, no rules. The people surrounding me acted like they were God. But that was probably due to all the cocaine that flowed in on every breeze. Sure, from the outside everything looked fine and dandy.And I won’t lie, it certainly was a lot of fun. But after a certain point the fun stopped and an ugly world took its place. The blow began to take hold on pretty much everyone I knew. Very successful people in the industry, who had the world in the palm of their hands, now had a coke addiction in the core of their beings. No one knew it would happen. It always started out innocently enough. Just try a little at an event and have a good time. Pretty soon parties would be fueled by cocaine. Everyone thought that they were immune or not doing coke enough to become addicted. They told themselves that one bump in the morning to get going was normal and o.k. Maybe have another one because lunch was rushed. And maybe a few in between meetings. But before anyone knew, it would be dark out, and that’s the time to party so… And in the 80’s it basically was normal, but never o.k.
