Lisa Robin Kelly, who rose to fame as Laurie Forman on That 70s Show died on Wednesday night, her manager told FOX411.
She was 43.
Unfortunately, Lisa Robin Kelly passed away last evening. Lisa had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility early this week where she was battling the addiction problems that have plagued her these past few years, her manager Craig Wycoff said. I spoke to her on Monday and she was hopeful and confident, looking forward to putting this part of her life behind her. Last night, she lost the battle.

Red kicked ass.

I only watched a few of the episodes. Was not my cup of tea. Still, she had success and a bright future as an actress, but threw it all away for her addictions...which took her life. Sad and pathetic. Lots more like her.
He was good in ‘Robocop’ too.
I agree, though seeing the teeth would seal the deal. Alcohol does kill early though, I have seen it in my work in the health field. You can die from acute pancreatitis.
I usually post with zero empathy, but will not do so this time. This just increases my conundrum with drugs and drug law. Apparently there are some people that cannot protect themselves from drugs, no matter what. Unfortunately, neither can I, or anybody else protect them. |
You are correct. We can pass a hundred more laws - and yet these individuals will still screw up their lives.
On the other hand.... When libertarians who advocate surrendering on the WOD also claim that - when drugs are legal - there won't be more drug users and more crime and all that.... They only look like the complete and utter idiots they are.
whoa, I wonder if that is why she disappeared from the show for really long periods of time.
Yes he was!
I think “Jackie” died, not Donna.
Only if you didn’t live it (also the show was best the first few years.....then became really boring)
I have trouble with reality v. TV.
good thing Gilligan is coming back this Fall.
No, Jackie is alive an well, trashing Christians and Republicans plus being the voice of Meg on Family Guy
People use alcohol as a crutch, as a numbing agent, as a feel good substance, as a way to not think about disturbing thoughts.
But addiction implies there is no choice.
I can only speculate — but many times alcohol addicts have underlying psychological issues for which they seek to self-medicate using booze.
She was already checked into a rehab facility where she died.........
It's unfair to any friends, co-workers or family to imply that there is some way they could have intervened in someone's addiction. I'm sure there's a lot of "One Steppers" here that will tell you that there is nothing one can do for a substance abuser, drugs or alcohol, unless they want to do it themselves.
I suspect that her addiction involved more than just alcohol. Such a tragic and unnecessary death.......
She was older on the show than i realized....
I find it hard to believe that this is a real picture of her... why would she allow this pic to be taken? She didn’t realize how bad she looked?
I just can't accept that it's an addiction, which implies out of their control. That's all.
