Former Teen Star, Mackenzie Phillips, Charged
Former Teen Star, Mackenzie Phillips, Charged

Mackenzie Philips, 48, was charged with two felonies after a last week’s drug bust at the Los Angeles International Airport. On August 27, she tried to pass small packs of narcotics past security at the airport and she is charged with drug possession, like cocaine and heroine.

She was also carrying an unauthorized hypodermic needle or syringe. Mackenzie Philips’ attorney said that the former star has entered rehab and she is following a drug-treatment program. But for now she stays in police custody.

Mackenzie Philips paid $10,000 bail to be free again, after she had spent a night behind bars.

Authorities at the Los Angeles Airport said that the staff found the drugs after they had asked the actress-singer to submit to a secondary screening. She declared that she was “holding,” but she later declared the officers that she had a “drug problem.”

Mackenzie Philips said that she had been exposed to drugs since she was only a child. Her father, John Philips, the founder of “The Mamas & The Papas” seemed to not care about his daughter’s future as long as he exposed her to such dangers.

The singer spent many nights in rehab over the last three decades.

Mackenzie Philips was discovered by a casting agent who offered her an audition for a role in “American Graffiti” in 1973. She was only 12 years old when she started filming the movie and only 14 when the movie was released.

Between the 1970s and the 1980s she was best known as Bonnie Franklin’s rebellious elder daughter Julie Cooper Horvath, in the show “One Day at a Time.” She was fired from the sitcom in 1980 because of her alcohol and drug problems.
