Party Hardy.
After River Phoenix took 11 fatal overdoses one Halloween in 1993, my editor sent me to tour the L.A. druggy underworld with Julia Phillips as my Virgil. Phillips, who died of cancer on Dec. 31 at age 57, had long since vanquished her coke problem, with the same iron will that won her an Oscar, forced Scorsese to cast De Niro not Keitel in "Taxi Driver" and enabled her to dynamite her bridges with her book "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again," which could've been called "Take This Oscar and Shove It." Phillips was, in my opinion, Hollywood's queen of the night, a scene who couldn't wait to happen, a talent magnet.
