Sad! TV actress Mackenzie Phillips has been arrested by federal security agents at the L.A. airport on suspicion of possessing small amounts of cocaine and heroin.
Phillips has long been open about her struggles to recover from drug addiction, and even played a drug counselor on the original Beverly Hills, 90210.
Phillips, of course, is most famous for playing one of two teenage daughters in the '70s-to-'80s single-mom sitcom One Day at a Time. (Her sister was played by Valerie Bertinelli, best known lately for her Jenny Craig commercials.) In real life, she's the daughter of John Phillips, of the '60s rock group The Mamas & the Papas, and she toured with the group for several years in place of her stepmother, Michelle Phillips. She's also the half-sister of singer Chynna Phillips (of the '90s pop group Wilson Phillips) and model-actress Bijou Phillips.
A few years ago she played a rock-star mom on the Disney Channel kids' mystery show So Weird, and most recently she guest-starred on an episode of Cold Case.
