maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 3, 2017 Fair bit of sitcom relevance here in a discussion of 70's child stars who had significant meltdowns: http://dannybonaduce.net/dannybonaduce/2017/07/03/9-big-stars-70s-went-wild/ Still around and middle-aged (mainly still active as well); but there's some physical and mental damage in there. For stomach churning misbehaviour the ten year incest between Mackenzie Phillips and her dad probably shades it, though for sheer car-crash comedy Danny Bonaduce's 1990 arrest for trying to score pretty much within sight of the anti-drugs event at which he was a speaker is a worth a chuckle.

You get your leads where you can find them, but the incessant autograph hunters do tend to have a higher hit rate than, say, the Inquirer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
