Times Online has published an interview with Jack Nicholson where he talks about the death of Heath Ledger at 28. Heath Ledger was reported to take drugs for anxiety and insomnia, including Ambien sleeping tablets.
“I warn them about Ambien,” said Nicholson. “I don’t take sleeping pills, but somebody said, ‘Take this – it’s mild.’ I then got a call in the middle of the night, an emergency, and almost drove off a cliff 50 yards from my house up in the mountains in Aspen.” He breathed out, for effect, and watched the trail of smoke. The message was clear.
Jack Nicholson talks about his own experience in surviving Hollywood, including pills, pot, LSD, drink, shrinks and legions of women.
