Summary
Mackenzie Phillips, once a star of One Day at a Time, revealed shocking backstage secrets: she and co-star Valerie Bertinelli regularly used cocaine together on set, even in dressing rooms, amid wild parties and wine-fueled swims. Phillips admits she was the one caught—and credits that moment as a life-saving turning point. Bertinelli, too, has openly detailed her descent into drugs, tied to her turbulent marriage to Eddie Van Halen—whose wedding included cocaine, and whose death in 2020 left a void in her life. Their stories expose the hidden chaos behind Hollywood’s glittering facade, where fame and addiction collided for young actors in the 70s and 80s.
