TODD BRIDGES WAS A HOLLYWOOD DEALER

Todd Bridges

Former Different Strokes star Todd Bridges was so desperate to make money when the hit television show ended, he became a Hollywood drug dealer to pay the bills. The star was only 22, out of work and in debt for $300,000 and so he decided on desperate measures to pay off what he owed and get rich quick. In his new book, Killing Willis, Bridges tells Access Hollywood, "I worked four different hotels and I had five girls that worked on the streets." But he couldn’t stop using what he sold, and quickly became a drug addict. He also is admitting that was the lowest point of his life: "I hated myself. I hated the way I looked in the mirror. I believed everything people said about me."
