"He just wasn't ready to stop," Bridges said of his child star colleague, adding that any drug addict's recovery needs to be fueled by a genuine desire to stop using.

Bridges said he had also tried, unsuccessfully, to help refer his TV co-star Dana Plato to a recovery program just three days before her fatal overdose in 1999.

Bridges, who just released his new book, Killing Willis, complained he gets a bad rap for his past problems, adding he has been sober for 17 years.
