Mackenzie Phillips Arrested For Heroin Possession

When it comes to drug dependency, age ain’t nothing but a number. Mackenzie Phillips just joined Tatum O’Neal in the “oh wow, still?” Celebrity Drug Arrest Hall of Fame after police found small amounts of heroin and cocaine on her during a search at LAX airport. Phillips’ drug problems first became known when she took a hiatus from TV’s One Day At A Time for a rehab stint in 1980. In 1983, she left the show for good rather than take another drug test. Phillips has claimed sobriety since the early nineties, returning to TV after an eight year break to play a drug counselor on the classic “Intervention” episode of Bevery Hills, 90210. Phillips is the daughter of John Phillips of The Mamas And The Papas, and the half-sister of Bijou and Chynna Phillips. [LA Times]
