Jeff Conaway

After starring in “Grease” on Broadway, he transitioned into a successful television and film actor. His drug problem caused a health scare in the 80’s and he was forced to come face to face with his addiction. Conaway kicked the habit and continued to pad his resume with tons of roles but after relapsing, his drug problem came back with a vengeance. On VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” he confessed to being addicted to cocaine, alcohol and painkillers. Three years later, Conaway was found unconscious and although it was originally thought that he suffered from a drug overdose, the “Taxi” star had pneumonia. Doctors reasoned that his drug use dampened his ability to see how sick he was. His drug addiction was listed as a contributing factor in his cause of death.
