She died from an overdose of Quaaludes, Secobarbital, cocaine, and Angel Dust. What a mix. Just 18 years old.
My mom told me "Buffy" was my first crush when I was 3 or 4 (when the show came on the air)

Janis and Jimi died when I was pretty young. When news came of them dying, within a few weeks of each other, I asked my parents 'Who are they?"

So they said something said "They are rock stars..they are all drug addicts or prostitutes or thieves and they kill people" Yup, that's what my parents thought of 60s rock stars.    So when I listened to some Janis songs, some Hendrix tunes and the Doors...They were great! I wanted to be a rock star!!  So I told my parents. That discussion went nowhere.  :D

Some say the same about Bruce Lee, but does Bruce Lee really belong on this list? The original report was an allergic
reaction to the muscle relaxer he was given for a headache. Some say it was a reaction between the muscle relaxer
and medication he was taking for a ruptured disc. Though, drugs played a roll in his death he didn't die by taking too
much of it.

Eh, that's not quite true. It would be more fair to say that they brought DRUGS into The 27 Club, but I'm quite sure the founding member was the murdered Robert Johnson, Godfather of the Blues. Look it up if you wish confirmation.

And as long as I'm on the thread, I should add actor Trevor Goddard, best known as Australian Mic Brumby in the TV drama JAG

Exactly.  Mindy did have issues with bad relationships and men beating on her.  She had a seizure on camera and Mackenzie Philips thought that she was joking until she realized that Mindy wasn't kidding and she called for a nurse.

She was litterally saying to the judge that sentenced her in her armed robery case that she needed help.  I think she wanted someone to help her get into a rehab facility but nobody seemed willing to help her.  Todd Bridges was there at her sentencing hearing and she told the judge that she wanted the help but it just wasn't there for her.
