High on Arrival
Author: Mackenzie Phillips
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 073181536X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Not long before her fiftieth birthday,Mackenzie Phillips walked into Los Angeles International Airport. She was on her way to a reunion for One Day at a Time, the hugely popular 70s sitcom on which she once starred as the lovable rebel Julie Cooper. Within minutes of entering the security checkpoint, Mackenzie was in handcuffs, arrested for possession of cocaine and heroin. Born into rock and roll royalty, flying in Learjets to the Virgin Islands at five, making pot brownies with her father's friends at eleven, Mackenzie grew up in an all-access kingdom of hippie freedom and heroin cool. It was a kingdom over which her father, the legendary John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, presided, often in absentia, as a spellbinding, visionary phantom. When Mackenzie was a teenager, Hollywood and the world took notice of the charming, talented, precocious child actor after her star-making turn in American Graffiti. As a young woman she joinedthe nonstop party in the hedonistic pleasure dome her father created for himself and his fellow revelers, and a rapt TV audience watched as Julie Cooper wasted away before their eyes. By the time Mackenzie discovered how deep and dark her father's trip was going, it was too late. And as an adult, she has paid dearly for a lifetime of excess, working tirelessly to reconcile a wonderful, terrible past in which she succumbed to the power of addiction and the pull of her magnetic father. As her astounding, outrageous, and often tender life story unfolds, the actor-musician-mother shares her lifelong battle with personal demons and near-fatal addictions. She overcomes seemingly impossible obstacles again and again and journeys toward redemption and peace. By exposing the shadows and secrets of the past to the light of day, the star who turned up High on Arrivalhas finally come back down to earth -- to stay.

Papa's Girl
Author: Eva Hodges Watt
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781932738438
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Becoming "Papa's Girl" after her older sister defied Frederick G. Bonfils and married a man against his wishes, the second daughter of the infamous Denver Post owner lived a colorful and free-spirited life despite a strict and socially-deprived upbringing in the class oriented, inhospitable environment of early 1900s Denver. In her book, author Eva Hodges Watt paints a detailed, multi-layered picture of Helen Bonfils. Through interviews with those who knew the enigmatic Helen best, and by providing insight obtained through her own association with Helen, Watt puts supposed scandals, personal vendettas, colorful observations, and countless contradictions to paper for the reader to absorb and contemplate. Who was this complex woman who "gifted" Denver with a downtown church (the Holy Ghost), a little gem of a theater (the Bonfils), an elephant for the zoo, a Rembrandt for the Denver Art Museum, and much, much more? Who was this woman who inexplicably at sixty-eight and widowed, married her chauffeur, a high school dropout half her age? Why, she was none other than Helen Bonfils . . . Papa's girl.
