I just watched a Biography doco about Vanessa Marcil.
Her father was an alcoholic and abusive to her whole family. She was drinking heavily at age 11 and spent many years drinking heavily and abusing drugs.
Then she found acting. She got her job on General Hospital, gave up the drnking and drugs, and blossomed into someone beautiful inside and out.
She wasn't happy on the set of 90210 but she found love with Brian Austin Green (David) and they had a baby together in 2002, a son named Kassius.
I am in complete awe of her. I didn't really know much about her except that she was on 90210 and Las Vegas. She is truly an amazing person, to overcome personal horrors and become a loving mum and a telanted actress. Her life could have been so very different, had she continued drinking and using drugs, she may not even be here today. I will certainly take more notice of her now that I know what a wonderfully amazing human being she is.
