I would never put a needle of anything in my arm, but I understand choices. I know I can't equate my love of butter with a full blown heroin addiction but this death has stirred a raw compassion deep within. For whatever reason this revered and beloved young actor left this earth too soon. Whether it was a choice or a demon, I am sad.Lonely Rivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419404284743404488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-66317753498192987972014-02-04T18:37:38.751-08:002014-02-04T18:37:38.751-08:00You're found Mage!

I only knew Mr. Hoffman as a most gifted actor--if he was in a movie, I almost always went and always enjoyed his performance. That said, I was shocked to see the announcement Monday morning, as I had no idea about the drug problem. A dreadful disease, that addiction is! Worse than cancer, huh?!Alicehttp://wintersong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-41377293736502408452014-02-04T14:22:58.930-08:002014-02-04T14:22:58.930-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-36815634884795770452014-02-04T14:22:56.639-08:002014-02-04T14:22:56.639-08:00My daughter is having a hard time with this news. ...My daughter is having a hard time with this news. The anniversary of her first husband's death is this month. He was found with a needle in his arm, just like PSH. SAme drug. News said PH had 70 bags of the stuff. <br />My daughter and I saw her husband 'in situ.' God awful. So very sad.
