  <about><![CDATA[Laura Mackenzie Phillips (born November 10, 1959) is an American actress and singer best known for her roles in <em>American Graffiti</em> and as rebellious teenager Julie Cooper Horvath on the sitcom <em>One Day at a Time</em>.<br/><br/>In September 2009, Phillips' memoir <em>High on Arrival</em> was released. Phillips appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an hour-long interview. She told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old, and that her father did drugs with her and injected her with cocaine.<br/><br/>During the interview, Phillips read excerpts from her book. She said that at the age of 19, on the night before her first wedding, &quot;I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.&quot; Both reportedly were under the influence of drugs at the time. Phillips then told Winfrey, &quot;It became a consensual relationship,&quot; describing her participation as &quot;sort of Stockholm Syndrome, where you begin to love your captor.&quot;<br/><br/>Phillips said the incestuous relationship lasted ten years, and that she ended it when she became pregnant and did not know who had fathered the child. She stated that her father paid for her to have an abortion, &quot;and I never let him touch me again.&quot; <br/>]]></about>

    <![CDATA[Not long before her fiftieth birthday,Mackenzie Phillips walked into Los Angeles International Airport. She was on her way to a reunion for <em>One Day at a Time</em>, the hugely popular 70s sitcom on which she once starred as the lovable rebel Julie Cooper. Within minutes of entering the security checkpoint, Mackenzie was in handcuffs, arrested for possession of cocaine and heroin.<p>Born into rock and roll royalty, flying in Learjets to the Virgin Islands at five, making pot brownies with her father's friends at eleven, Mackenzie grew up in an all-access kingdom of hippie freedom and heroin cool. It was a kingdom over which her father, the legendary John Phillips of The Mamas &amp; the Papas, presided, often in absentia, as a spellbinding, visionary phantom.<p>When Mackenzie was a teenager, Hollywood and the world took notice of the charming, talented, precocious child actor after her star-making turn in <em>American Graffiti</em>. As a young woman she joinedthe nonstop party in the hedonistic pleasure dome her father created for himself and his fellow revelers, and a rapt TV audience watched as Julie Cooper wasted away before their eyes. By the time Mackenzie discovered how deep and dark her father's trip was going, it was too late. And as an adult, she has paid dearly for a lifetime of excess, working tirelessly to reconcile a wonderful, terrible past in which she succumbed to the power of addiction and the pull of her magnetic father.<p>As her astounding, outrageous, and often tender life story unfolds, the actor-musician-mother shares her lifelong battle with personal demons and near-fatal addictions. She overcomes seemingly impossible obstacles again and again and journeys toward redemption and peace. By exposing the shadows and secrets of the past to the light of day, the star who turned up <em>High on Arrival</em> has finally come back down to earth -- to stay.</p></p></p>]]>
