another child star bites the bullet, it's really sad how many child star grow up to be rejected by Hollywood and then turn to drink and drugs..RIP...

I quite fancied her when I watched the re-runs in the late 90s as a 13/14 year old.

I must admit I opened the thread expecting more shenanigans from that Josie Cunningham knacker!

yes I was hoping it was a typo
 
Pretty little lass back in the day. Never quite got on with the follow on series with Scott Baio

Hmmmm, I'd disagree there. She had a 'character' look about her.

I think her looks were probably one of the reasons she didn't succeed in the business TBH. There's loads of journeyman actors who manage to succeed on their looks, and sadly she was not exceptional in either way. She also needed to break her 'Joanie' typecasting, which again requires an extra 'something' she didn't have.

Still, I do have happy memories of her. Very sad news. Not just her death, but her decline into drugs and poverty.

Beautiful part of Japan, apparently!

Didn't know she'd visited it, nowt in the media.

Entirely expected, sadly. Seems she had a pretty horrible middle-to-end of her life.

RIP
