Culture - Famous Cocaine Users List

[frosty]

Okay so what are the most famous powder heads in history?...I know of a
couple...Stephen King who self admits to not being able to remember
writting 10 novels from the late 70's to mid 80's 10 whole freaking
novels.....his novels are always at least 400 pages long...SWIM wants
what he was getting.....Then of course there was Siegmund Freud....

[Zach Swan]

That will be a very long list since powder and celebrity go together like priests and choirboys.

Couldn't begin to list all the celebs who've admitted to doing blow (R. Williams, R. DeNiro, J. Nicholson, ...) but I suspect the following great quote from Sean Penn may suggest he also has a propensity for partying with peruvian:

"...If you want entertainment, get a couple hookers and an eight-ball" - attributed to Sean Penn

Then I suppose there is your current president (allegedly.) I guess he's pretty famous.

Johnny Carson.

Jack Nickolson

John Belushi

Robin Williams

Jessica Savage

Stacey Keach

David Crosby

...

This may not be exactly what you intended, but...

Article scares the crap out of me, the guy's about my age. Except that I don't mix sports, steroids & cola -- horrible combination if you ask me. Wonder how many times that guy went to practice right after a long night of partying, or even while still high.

P.S. add the famous screenwriter Oliver Stone to the list. Apparently cola was something of an inspiration to his screenplay for "Scarface" (no surprise there)... in the DVD interview he claims writing it helped get the desire to use cola out of his system.

While making Heaven and Earth Oliver Stone adopted the Buddhist faith he had explored as a soldier in Vietnam, yet his religion does not appear to have brought him peace. An affair and divorce from his second wife, Elizabeth, followed. In 1999 he was arrested for drunken driving and possession of hashish; Stone had spent time in a Mexican jail aged 21 for possession of marijuana, and quit cocaine while writing Scarface. The need to live life fast, on the edge and take risks remains.

Lots of male coke-lovers mentioned in this thread, now some famous female celebrity cokeheads-

The British actress Claire King was mentioned above- she got blackmailed by an ex-boyfriend who sold pictures of her snorting coke and told salacious stories about their steamy sex life and her voracious coke habit to the tabloids.

Well, there are quite a few models and glamour girls, apart from Kate Moss. Naomi Campbell is a notorious cokehead, as was that Belgian model(Ingrid Parewijck) who got caught at the airport in New York when she apparently put a bag of cocaine on the check-in desk while searching in her purse.

Page 3 girls have been notorious lovers of the marching powder, going back to the 70s when Jilly Johnson and Nina Carter were the first page 3 models. Carter admitted snorting so much cocaine that she was amazed her nose did not suffer the damage Daniella Westbrook's did. Johnson was photographed snorting coke off a coffee table during a party in the 1980s. Bond Girl Barbara Bach was snorting a gram and a half a day by the time she ended up in rehab with husband Ringo Starr in the mid-80s.

London mayor Ken Livingstone said he organised a Grace Jones gig when she asked for a £3,000 rider- when he asked her what it was for, she admitted that it was for her coke. He said he couldn't justify spending taxpayers money on that so had to turn her down!

In the 90s, Gail McKenna, Kathy Lloyd, Kirsten Imrie and Helen Labdon were British models/page 3 girls and notorious party girls. It is rumoured all four were cokeheads. Lloyd and Imrie were particularly heavy users. McKenna and Lloyd were photographed snorting cocaine at London club El Cid and splashed over the tabloid newspapers in 1994. McKenna later cleaned up her act, became a christian and a childrens TV presenter. Kirsten Imrie went into rehab to treat alcoholism and a serious coke habit. Labdon cleaned up her act and is now married to Greg Kinnear. Kathy Lloyd is still modelling and presenting adult television shows.

in the 00s Sophie Anderton, Daniella Westbrook, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson and Kate Moss are particularly notorious for their cocaine use. Kate Moss' best pal Sadie Frost (Jude Law's ex) was pictured recently in tabloids leaving her birthday party with white powder marks around her nostrils. Socialite Tara Palmer-Tompkinson recently admitted she requires surgery after her nose collapsed due to heavy cocaine use.

She said :I've given myself a nose job because of all the cocaine I shoved up it," she said. "My cartilage is gone. I just have fresh air."


"I would do more than five grams of coke a day. In the end, I didn't do lines - I did the whole lot as one. I threw the stuff in the air and sniffed clouds of it."

I can't believe no one's yet to mention the master of the yayo: Keith
Richards. Tons of musicians, especially blues musicians, were also into
cola - stevie ray vaughn and eric clapton to name a few.

[Nature Boy]

Oliver Stone was big into it in the 80s.

Most 80s pro wrestlers did coke too.

The Grateful Dead were into coke, like most other things. Casey Jones Edited by: nature_boy_liam

Rick James

There was a bad period in my life some years ago when I got into a serious cocaine habit; $10,000 to $15,000 a week,

I was gonna say... if he managed to *maintain* that habit for any length of time ($60k/month) he'd be rich enough so it couldn't have been all THAT bad...

Hell, how bad could it be if you could afford a personal physician standing next to you at all times with a defibrillator & tray of anti-O.D. meds ready...

[motorhead]

lol ya i read somewhere that it was around 400k/year he was going through. I imagine it got bad in the end. Man he must have been so wired and paranoid after piping up so hardcore for so long. He and a girlfriend held some chic hostage for a few days, which landed him in the clink. He died recently, not very old either.

[blackbastard]

what about DeLorean? he was a fucking mad cokehead! he did something like $14m of powder of company money while working for pontiac
