B-cyclepedia Heather Thomas

 Heather Thomas started using cocaine, but it wasn’t until her casting in “The Fall Guy” in 1981 that her drug problem escalated.

Even though Heather had been in denial about her drug addiction for four years, she agreed to enter the hospital’s drug program. “It was a big relief to me, I’d been on a roller coaster, and I wanted to get off.
