			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/cocainebunch.jpg' alt='cocainebunch.jpg' /><br />
Big news! <strong>Maureen McCormick</strong>, better known as the actress who played Marcia Brady on the <em>Brady Bunch</em>, admits to <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10132008/entertainment/marcia_brady_traded_sex_for_coke_133440.htm" target="_blank">trading sex for cocaine</a> in her new tell-all book. Yay. Guess what honey: you&#8217;re not the first chick to become a cokehead and occasionally bang her dealer. Get over yourself. </p>
<p>One good thing to come of this though, is the reminder that impressionable young girls are susceptible to the white arts. Peep our list of 8 other great falls from grace by young actresses who discovered the dark side of &#8220;the party&#8221;&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-18130"></span><br />
<strong><u>DREW BARRYMORE </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarsbarrymore.jpg' alt='childstarsbarrymore.jpg' /><br />
Drew Barrymore is one of the coolest actor chicks there is, and while her current drug use seems limited to a little weed from time to time, she used to be quite the little party girl. The young Barrymore was a regular at Studio 54, drank when she was 11, and had her first toot of cocaine when she was 12. A suicide attempt at 13 put her into rehab, and while she was a nutso party chick then, she&#8217;s turned out just fine. If anything, her return to grace can be a template for when Miley Cyrus goes off the deep end.</p>
<p><strong><u> JODIE SWEETIN </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarssweetin.jpg' alt='childstarssweetin.jpg' /><br />
When your <em>Full House</em> co-stars move on to become <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/06/09/48hours/main557671.shtml" target="_blank">filthy rich</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfRJSmrQSDk" target="_blank">disgustingly awesome</a>, or <a href="http://www.johnstamos.net/" target="_blank">the dude who bangs Rebecca Rojimn</a>, it becomes hard to stand out. Cue the meth addiction. Sweetin is now clean and attempting to make a comeback by filming a reality show with her husband, an idea that seems even worse than hitting the pipe.</p>
<p><strong><u> BRITNEY SPEARS </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarsbrittneyspears.jpg' alt='childstarsbrittneyspears.jpg' /><br />
Britney started strong with the Mickey Mouse Club, moved into &#8220;Hit Me Baby One More Time&#8221;, sexy videos like &#8220;Toxic&#8221; and then that banger <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHF1DiWDffs" target="_blank">VMAs snake performance</a>. Then she dropped KFed, met Paris Hilton, showed everyone her <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/britney-hangs-with-paris-drops-pants-in-public/" target="_blank">pee hole</a> and <a href="http://www.jjsdirt.com/2007/09/britney-spears-does-cocaine.html" target="_blank">allegedy</a> jammed enough cocaine up her nose to earn her a whole wing at Promises Rehab. She&#8217;s made progress as of recent but for the most part, she&#8217;s still seems like she&#8217;s trying to get her shit together.</p>
<p><strong><u> DANA PLATO </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarsplato.jpg' alt='childstarsplato.jpg' /><br />
It would be uncouth to tell too many jokes about the dead, so we&#8217;ll just say this: Dana Plato loved drugs. So much so that she let them get in the way of her <em>Different Strokes</em> TV gig. From there, the downward spiral picked up steam and she wound up doing all kinds of crazy shit including a softcore porn with the same <em>Different Strokes</em> name before ODing and dying. Like we said, we&#8217;re not going to get grimy, but you can Google an image of her with a johnson in her mouth if you really want. </p>
<p><strong><u> LINDSAY LOHAN </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarslohan.jpg' alt='childstarslohan.jpg' /><br />
Oh Lohan, with your antics. The heavy-freckled cutie came up strong in <em>The Parent Trap</em> remake and then rocked some shitty movies we all watched just to see that pretty face. We believe that you&#8217;re recovered from <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20412029/" target="_blank">your drug problem</a> about as much as we believe you&#8217;re a lesbian. Even if you&#8217;re being serious we&#8217;re not gonna listen. Lalalalalalalalalallala. Not listening. lalalalallaalala. Afterparty at the Complex offices, leave Samantha at home.  </p>
<p><strong><u> KEISHA KNIGHT PULLIAM </u> </strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarspulliam.jpg' alt='childstarspulliam.jpg' /><br />
Apparently &#8220;multiple sources&#8221; can attest to the fact that Rudy from <em>The Cosby Show</em> is a fan of cocaine. The sources are unconfirmed, <a href="http://www.bossip.com/?s=keisha+knight+pulliam+cocaine" target="_blank">of course</a>, but we believe it. Hell, even if we don&#8217;t, girl&#8217;s looking real good these days.  </p>
<p><strong><u>TATUM O&#8217; NEAL </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarstatum.jpg' alt='childstarstatum.jpg' /><br />
Tatum O&#8217;Neal came up as a child actor in <em>Paper Moon</em> and the original <em>Bad News Bears</em>. She has had a lifelong battle with the white, and poor thing just got caught again this fall when she was researching a <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/06/01/2008-06-01_tatum_oneal_in_crack_bust.html" target="_blank">new role</a>. Oh, that&#8217;s right. What&#8217;s the name of that movie about doing coke on the Lower East Side again? I think it comes out around Christmas. Yeah right.</p>
<p><strong><u> THE OLSEN TWINS </u></strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/childstarsolsens.jpg' alt='childstarsolsens.jpg' /><br />
We&#8217;re not allowed to say that these two enjoy getting rocked on cocaine. We can&#8217;t even say that the pills that Heath Ledger OD&#8217;d on came from Ashley to help him calm down from a night of too much partying. Just because they hang out in NYC, date a bunch of rebel dudes and go out a lot doesn&#8217;t mean either of them have drug problems. Oh wait, maybe we <a href="http://www.hollywoodgrind.com/mary-kate-olsen-partying-too-hard-needs-rehab/" target="_blank">can</a>. </p>
