“She started to look sickly and very thin, and then the rumors started—you know, was she taking drugs? Was she anorexic?” Coombs recalls. “And she denied all those things, but people started to really be concerned about her.”
Caplan included. “She was going through a bad time,” the actress says. “They said she was late to a lot of sets and not herself.”
