This is very true. It's probably even harder for someone in Hollywood where people are judged mostly on their looks. |
| She’s struggling with mental illness. Rich, poor, young, old, white, person of color are all at risk. Be grateful it isn’t you or someone that you love. |
What? How could not remember Sammy Jo??? |
Maybe PP is too young? I never knew she was almost let go from TJ Hooker. Agree that her life would make for an interesting memoir. |
| She’s struggled for years. I don’t think it’s about aging or her career; she’s an addict, and suffers from mental illness, which can affect anyone, even those who are rich, famous, beautiful. It doesn’t discriminate. Hope she gets healthy. |

This. Her addiction and resulting behavior has been public since her time with Richie. |
Agreed. It seems like things started to go downhill when when they split up and Sambora hooked up with neighbor/friend Denise Richards. Of course, things could have been going downhill privately before that, and Locklear and Sambora could have split up because of their respective addiction issues. |
| I feel badly for her. Always enjoyed seeing her on Melrose Place. |

Mental illness. Everything else is the result of the underlying mental illness—addiction, violence, etc.
It’s sad. |

I think if she had steady acting gigs, she would be fine.
But after consistently working for 35+ years, then suddenly having all this free time on her hands must be tough. Aging is not for the faint at heart. Roles have shrunken up and she is no longer the Dream California blonde bombshell she was during the eighties. Instead she is fifty-six, unemployed and has two divorces under her belt. Plus hasn’t been doing well finding a suitable life partner and may be terrified of being alone & jobless the rest of her life. That could make ANYone have a mental breakdown in my humble opinion. |
OP should know her posts are easily identifiable - I'm picking up on them, and I'm hardly on here all the time. |

And that is okay....
Everyone has their own, unique writing style. As long as posts do not contradict each other then what is the problem of posting different posts on different forums? |
YOU ARE A BLOCKHEAD |
| My uncle worked with her on set (key grip) and said she was very standoffish with everyone so most people thought she was a b!tch. He said she seemed nice enough when he had to talk to her but she did have diva behavior... late, couldn’t remember lines, needed lots of breaks. He thought back then it was drugs. Sad. |
