Herald Sun: Shelley Long overdoses
CHEERS star Shelley Long is recovering after taking an overdose of pain killers.

The 55-year-old was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after the apparent suicide attempt.
She had become depressed after the end of her 22-year marriage to securities-broker Bruce Tyson, friends said.

Long, best known as waitress Diane Chambers in the 1980s comedy series Cheers, is said to have barely eaten or left her bed for months.

I used to have a wicked crush on Shelley back when I was a teenager. Hope she gets through this.
