While some managed to keep their careers on track, others saw their lives and careers fall apart due to their drinking. Some even caused scandals by being blatantly drunk on set. So, without further ado, here are the 25 worst alcoholics in Hollywood history

    My uncle was a steward on Qantas Airlines. He once had Sinatra on a flight. Frankie became so loud and obnoxious and billigerent, that the Captain emerged from his cockpit and got right in Sinatra's face and told him if he didn't shut the hell up he'd land at the next airfleid and throw him off the plane.

      You know all these guys said stupid shit to justify drinking but being an alcoholic is not pleasant, right? Like the one that said he wished he could have drank every drop on earth and slept with every woman alive. They sound like they are 12 years old. Their brains are stuck in adolescence and it's funny to people except that they were killing themselves, costing studios millions, beating their wives, and destroying their children.

    I was a standby prop for the 10 month shoot of a movie 'Where Eagles Dare", shot in the very late 60's.Three months in Germany shooting the exterior scenes and seven months interior scenes in England at the MGM studio. Every day Burton was working my first duty was to take his expensive watch and switch it with a WWII military watch then back when he finished his shots for that day. Burton was always on time and knew he's lines never drunk so that he walked, talked or acted inebriated. Nice guy and very funny with the jokes.

      Burton stood up for the powerless on set, I didn’t work with him but I had a friend who did and he was friendly and approachable to everyone and if some snotty 3rd assistant director was disrespectful towards junior crew or extras he would go ballistic. Whatever faults Burton had there was not a snobbish or elitist bone in his body and he never forgot where he came from (some contemporary A listers should take note)

    Dean Martin died the day his son slammed his fighter into a mountain.

      The people who worked or were friends with Dean said it was apple juice. Dean's TV show was huge and I think he got the first million dollar contract for the TV show. Someone asked him about his drinking. He said roughly, " Do you think NBC would pay me $1 million if I was really a big drinker?"
      He was great with his family, did not stay out late and one of his real obsessions was golf. He was a pretty good golfer too.

It took a hell of a lot of alcohol before he would show any outward appearance of intoxication. But he was a lovely drunk. He sang songs, and never became aggressive. He never even raised his voice.

      O Toole did get into some heavy drinking, but he largely over stated it to be "cool" and with the times and to fit in with the others of his time. His diaries and documents he left behind show a man very organized with clear goals. Burtons Diaries on the other hand show him to be an erratic drunk with months years missing because he was too drunk. You don't live to your 80s if you are a hapless drunk. Burton was dying by the time he 50. O Toole and Harris reeled it in and stopped when they were in their 40s, they weren't as bad as Burton.

      I love that movie! Despite the serious subject of the movie, there are a lot of laughs, too. "I swear if you existed, I'd divorce you." and
      "You are going to regret this."
      "No doubt; I I regret everything."

    My brother was addicted to alcohol from a young age myself I was a heavy smoker consuming 40 per day, when I asked my brother about his drinking he said, "You know when you crave for a cigarette when you haven't got one. That's how I feel when I need a drink". I gave up smoking 32 years ago without a problem. It doesn't matter how much help you get with an addiction, the first thing you need is will power anything else is secondary.

    I was a hard core drug and alcohol abuser for 22 years. My mom once said "I'd write a book but no one would would believe it." At 35 and nearly dead I asked Christ to save me, and all desire for all addictions immediately stopped. Last November was 28 years free from all that nearly destroyed me. Life is filled with difficulties, no matter who one is, but Christ and the life He gives with the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit along with His Word and real prayer make all the difference. Look up 1 Corinthians 15:1-5. He loves you all!!

    You omitted English actor Richard Harris. His alcoholism and hellraising antics with Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton are legendary. Despite this, he made some incredible movies. While Burton was a proud Welsh man, O'Toole and Harris wouĺd say that they relished their Irish background and drinking heritage. In his later years, Harris occupied a suite at the Savoy Hotel in London. He was taken ill and carried out on a stretcher. As he passed through reception, he sat up and said,, 'it was the food!'. He died shortly after..

      Ava Gardner was really shy. She started drinking when she and Mickey Rooney went out which was literally at the beginning of her career. He was very loud and she hated being around a bunch of people at nightclubs. So she started drinking to calm her nerves. Her family back home in NC never drank.

    Peggy Castle could have been in this as well. Starting in radio in the mid 1940s, beautiful and talented Peggy Castle was discovered by a talent agent in 1947 while having lunch at a Beverly Hills restaurant. She went on to appear or co-star in a number of movies. Castle went on to TV, and appeared in a number of series throughout the 1950’s. Her first co-staring and long running role was in the series Lawman. Alcohol caught up with her quickly, and she died of cirrhosis of the liver at age 47 in 1973.

The late great Paul Newman finally admitted to being a lifelong alcoholic in his auto-biography and his wife of 50 years, Joanne Woodward stated that she helped get him off the hard stuff and down to just drinking beer! It's also a known fact, that both nicotene i.e. cigarette/cigar smoking and alcohol are known carcinogenics and cause cancers of different organs, not just the lungs! Also, not so great for the heart as well, contributing to heart disease as these deaths have proven! May they rest in peace~
