RIP Philip - what a loss, so young, such an amazing actor.
Absolutely fave movie of mine is him in Capote, for which he won the Oscar.

I liked him as a sleezy reporter in Red Dragon (a smallish role) and the sleezier campaign manager in The Ides of March.

Sadly, for some, the addiction is so strong that even after being clean for decades, it only takes one exposure to the addicting drug to relapse. Sometimes the relapse is worst than before the person quit.

So sad -- thinking about his 3 children

some reports are saying that he recently was on pain medication and there is a very large chance that is the reason for the relapse (there are many medications out which are highly addictive and will give you a similar high then crash when coming off them leading to a slippery slope)

he also went back to rehab back in may as a preemptive fear that he was going to relapse and use again, it reminds me a bit of what happened with Corey Monteith he also went back to rehab just a few months before he died of a relapse

i feel horrid for his family and children it's hard to grieve over a sudden death when it's all over the papers and media (you can't even check your email without being reminded)

He was so great in his Capote role...such a wonderful character actor...what a waste; he had so many, many years ahead of him, so many roles yet to fill. I don't know much about those addictions, thankfully, but when will people realize that crap like that will kill them? It's always fun until someone dies.

What a career she had!

She was 85.
Temple had married Army Air Corps private John Agar, the brother of a classmate at Westlake, her exclusive L.A. girls' school, in 1945. He took up acting and the pair appeared together in two films, Fort Apache and Adventure in Baltimore. She and Agar had a daughter, Susan, in 1948, but she filed for divorce the following year.


She married Black in 1950, and they had two more children, Lori and Charles. That marriage lasted until his death in 2005 at age 86.
