Natasha Lyonne Fighting For Life

You may remember her from "American Pie". I'm not too familiar with her, but this story is just sad. Natasha Lyonne, 26, is currently in intensive care in a New York hospital after being found with hepatitis C, a collapsed lung, and a heart infection. Her dad believes she got a liver virus while shooting a film abroad 3 years ago. But it is rumored that she is dealing with a heroin addiction.

...it has been rumoured that she's also fighting a battle with heroin - the primary mode of transmission of hepatitis C is via contaminated blood - through needles shared by drug users or through blood transfusions.
The article also said that she hasn't had a publicist or any Hollywood representation for the past several months.
She was charged in December 2004 with criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing after she allegedly exploded in a temper tantrum on her New York neighbour, ripping a mirror off the woman's wall and threatening to sexually molest her dog.
Let's hope all turns out well for her.
