Im OK, a little shocked but not completely shocked that this happened. My thing is, I feel bad because her whole life, she was troubled, could never find what made her happy and content. For me, you do drugs or drink, youre gonna die. Im sorry if thats cold, but God gave you a brain, gave you the will to live and thrive and you gotta take care of yourself.
During his interview with the WABC radio show, Baio added, Im saddened by what happened. I dont know if it was drugs that killed her, I read one report said it might have been and I hope it I dont know what I hope. Its what it is. What can you do?
I knew Erin well, over the last many years I have not spoken with her. She was just an insecure human being and fell into this world of drugs and alcohol. Again, I dont know if thats what killed her, Im sure it was a culmination of years and years of doing it that might have had something to do with it. She just never found her way.
How do you help somebody that doesnt want to help themselves? You try a couple of times and if they dont want the help, I gotta go, sorry.

(7,646 posts)I guess no one ever told Baio that if you can't say something nice, you shouldn't say anything at all. He's always been a colossal jerk and always will be.

(90,787 posts)That she didn't die from drug use matters not to him. Only that she once used drugs and his need to spread his own drug.

(3,569 posts)Your going to die. Anyone wanna bet Keith Richards lives longer than the "once famous child actor" does? I'll take Keef disproving that theory.

(32,082 posts)There are exceptions to every rule in life and Richards is one of them --- and he has said he no longer lives that lifestyle. Most people who try and live like Richards are dead by 40. Look at the ages of death of all the rock stars.
ghostsinthemachine
(3,569 posts)I think death happens in every walk of life. We all dig our own graves, in our own ways be it diet soda or heroin. There's an awful lot of living rock stars that lived a life approaching that of Keef that are still alive and touring as well.

(32,082 posts)Even past 50. Even past 60. If you are doing a lot of drugs and hard alcohol you have a very slim chance of getting past any of those ages.

(6,041 posts)He can't figure it out. He started around the same time as Tom Hanks, Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams but they got all the plum movie roles. It can't be lack of talent so it must be liberal Hollywood that held him back and promoted liberal actors.
Sorry Chachi. You just proved again what a classless narcissist you are.

It's the talent. Charles in Charge never really had any.

(53,061 posts)We have let these assholes take over the discussion. Instead of talking about solutions to the nations problems we talk about Trump.
Instead of talking about who Erin Moran was and how she touched people's lives we talk about Scott Baio.
It is insidious.
