6. Kristen Johnston
Okay, no more dead people, and especially no more people dead by their own hands. Next up is Kristen Johnston, who you remember from 3rd Rock From the Sun. While she is a blonde with a pill problem, unlike the previous two platinum pill poppers, she's managed to clean up (or at least, not kill herself...yet) and find work without being limited by being a tall, beautiful blonde lady. What, you didn't hear about the addictions? That's okay, because neither did anyone else until her autobiography came out in 2012. Titled, simply, Guts (and subtitled, not so simply, The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster), Johnston details the nitty-gritty of being a comedic actress, from the terrifying to the sublime. In an age when most celebrity biographies are ghostwritten, Johnston went balls (ovaries?) to the wall and wrote it herself. Even more shocking when it became a bestseller and received rave reviews from literary critics to Joe-blow Amazon users alike for her wit and humor. Celebrities, after all, aren't always the most eloquent among us. As they say, "The proof is in the publishing." Wait, nobody says that? Oh well. Aside from kicking addictions like they were field goals, Johnston has kept busy with all kinds of respectable acting prospects. Some of her film prospects have been, well, lukewarm (The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas? Vamps? Life Happens?) but others have been pretty solid (Bad Parents). She has her own very funny show, The Exes, and is part of The Atlantic Theater Company's Acting School. Johnston has been heavily involved in founding a sober high school in New York City to help teens with addictions, making her not only a funny actress but all around good person. Oh, and she's pretty funny in that show about aliens, too.
