I just saw the E True Hollywood story on Anissa Jones and it made me sad to think that she passed at 18 years old.
She was such a beautiful girl. It pained me to hear that she and her mother did not get along and how hard she had to work. All for the GLORIOUS MONEY............ How sad..........

It is even worse how she died, from an apparent suicide. I think her parents divorcing may have played a role in this, but I am not for sure.
But from all that I could gather, she was content, if not relieved that she was no longer a star. She apparently wanted to have just a normal life. But if you are a former child star, your life can never be normal. Living for only 18 yrs is not enough! There is no telling what she may have accomplished had she lived a long life. I know that she was hiding a lot of pain for many years. Only Anissa knows the true source of that pain, the rest of us will never know exactly what she was going through, but I bet it was something very significant. |

I also saw the True Hollywood story, and apparently they didn't get all the facts right. For example, it wasn't mentioned that their father was an alcoholic. The story was told from Anissa's father's side of the family, so totally one-sided. Nor did they mention that the doctor who gave/sold Anissa the pills, gave Anissa another kind of pills because he ran out of the the ones she was accustomed to. Why was this doctor's license not revoked? We don' t know. Also this story about Anissa didn't come out until after Brian Keith's death, because he wouldn't have allowed such distorted facts as was on True Hollywood. It's true, it's a very sad and tragic end. A real shame.

Anissa's mother could have talked if she wanted to but she declined to be interviewed. What really saddened me was Anissas' brother also dying from an overdose. Anissas' mother may have had her faults but no one deserves to lose both of their children so tragically.
