Actress Jan Smithers, a star of beloved TV sitcom WKRP In Cincinnati, was driving naked when she stopped for help after her car broke down on a remote California highway in the middle of the night.

She was hit by a truck after the driver caught sight of the 58-year-old waving him down too late. She has been recovering from her injuries ever since the September accident, but family members fear her health issues might be more than a few broken bones.

A family friend tells the tabloids she fears Smithers suffered a mental breakdown following the death of her father. The pal says, "Everyone thinks Jan felt abandoned and snapped - a complete meltdown."

Ironically, police called to the scene of the accident found nothing wrong with her car and are puzzled as to why the actress stopped for help. Smithers can't remember anything about the accident or why she was driving naked in the middle of the night.

She and Brolin wed in 1985 and had one daughter, Molly, together. They divorced in 1995, three years before the actor wed Streisand.

:eek2: I hope Jan has a full and speedy recovery! Didn't something like this happen to Margot Kidder some years back??

is this from a reliable news source??? :eek2:

I was just reading about this on her Wikipedia page. I hope she's going to be alright.

She use to be married to Josh Brolin. That's what surprised me too. I hope she's getting better. I'm rooting for her.

She used to be married to JAMES Brolin. Josh Brolin is James' son with his first wife, if I'm not mistaken. I too hope Jan is OK.

I don't buy it...it's a fake. And, wikipedia is hardly a reliable news source.
