In the last episode of Dinner is on me with Jesse Tyler FergusonFerguson asked Plpton what it was to be a young high level couple when she left Phoenix at the end of the 80s.

THE Sludge The actress shared that she and Phoenix were not interested and uncomfortable with the attention of the public on them. She added that Phoenix, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in the years 1988 Run on vacuum, had struggled with his growing reputation as they get older.

“He was not as equipped, I think, because maybe other people could be to manage this kind of thing,” said Plpton. “Because he was a very, in the soul, very innocent and a motivated human being. So, the contradictions of Hollywood and show business were much more difficult for him.”

“We were the first love of the other,” said Plpton. “This relationship never really disappears. You can never leave something like that. It’s just too important and also, like, I mean. I mean, it is you who you are, especially in these really formative years. I mean, it’s a large part of whom I am.”

Phoenix died in 1993 of a drug overdose outside the vipers room in Los Angeles. He was 23 years old.

Plpton said it was difficult for Phoenix to manage his drug addiction and that he was unable to get the help he needed before dying.

“I think he would have been an incredible defender of sobriety and people struggling with dependence,” said Plpton in tears. “Unfortunately, it just got him before he had a chance to do that. But yes, I miss every day.”
