Mackenzie Phillips allowed her half-sister Bijou Phillips to bail her out of a Van Nuys, Calif. jail yesterday.  As we previously reported, Mackenzie was arrested at a California airport for alleged possession of cocaine and heroin.  At first Mackenzie denied bail but gave in and Bijou posted the $10,000 to get her released.  Hopefully Mackenzie will get the help she needs and get this mess cleared up!

     

Mackenzie Phillips, who has long battled substance abuse problems, was arrested at LAX yesterday for alleged possession of heroin and cocaine.  At 10:00 AM, officers responded to Terminal 4, where 48-year-old Phillips was being screened by TSA. During the screening process, some baggies and balloons believed to contain heroin and cocaine were recovered.

Mackenzie's half-sister Bijou Phillips tried to bail her out later that night but Mackenzie refused her money, saying that she'd rather just stay in the cell. Sad.

Let's take a look at Mackenzie in happier times.  Check her out at a fan convention in May.  Mackenzie is best known for her role of Julie on 70s classic One Day at a Time.
