The Tragic Side of Fame (2011)

FAME: It's the American dream. The pinnacle by which success is measured. But beyond the glitz, the glamour, the million dollar lifestyles exists a dark side--one we rarely see, until it's too late. Part one of this two-part special exposes the dark side of Hollywood fame. Includes the tragic stories of Dana Plato, the Diff'rent Strokes TV star who struggled to survive outside the celebrity life; Rob Pilatus, who was emotionally destroyed when his Milli Vanilli band was exposed as a sham; and Anna Nicole Smith, who dreamed of becoming the next Marilyn Monroe but whose life ended in a nightmare of drug abuse.
