She was arrested for heroin and coke just recently.
According to Phillips, she had locked herself in the bathroom so she could inject herself with heroin when her young son began banging on the door.
After her arrest, Phillips realized she had hit bottom and enrolled in a drug treatment program.
In mid-1961, at age 17, Phillips relocated to to live with her friend and began working as a model.
That, she said, led to a big dose of reality hitting her over the head.
She had a supporting role in the comedy 2002 , the controversial -themed drama 2004 , and as a waitress in the independent comedy 2006.
