'Can't Buy Me Love' Star, Amanda Peterson Died Due to Drug Overdose
Amanda Peterson, best known for her role in the 1987 film “Can’t Buy Me Love” opposite Patrick Dempsey, died from an accidental overdose of a deadly combination of multiple drugs, including morphine, according to a coroner’s report obtained by TMZ.
The “morphine effect” reportedly caused respiratory failure, leading to her death.
The retired actress’s body was discovered in her Colorado apartment on July 5, two days after her death. She was 43.
Her mother, Sylvia Peterson, tells Entertainment Tonight that her daughter struggled with drugs when she was younger, but had been clean for a long time and this "this was not, in any way, a drug thing."
Sylvia also spoke with People and said that she suspects her daughter's sleep apnea may have contributed to her death.
She also shared some of her daughters final moments.
"She was in bed, and she'd had a wonderful day, and we were planning on a dinner the next day," Sylvia says of her daughter, "so it was just a very, very big surprise."
The ’80s star had a long history of substance abuse. She was allegedly arrested four times over the last 20 years in her hometown of Greeley, Colo. — most recently, she was booked in May 2012 on a DUI and drug paraphernalia charge.
She reportedly took a friend's morphine medication one week before her death.
The twice-married mother of two was arrested several times in Greeley, Colo. over the past two decades.

Eddie Redmayne Stars As Transgender In The Danish Girl
After winning the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, Eddie Redmayne is hitting the awards circuit again for his role in The Danish Girl.
The trailer for the drama, directed by The King’s Speech’s Tom Hooper, has just arrived and it gives us a closer look at the fact-based tale. Redmayne stars as Einar Wegener, one of the first recipients of sexual reassignment surgery, who became Lili Elbe.
The film opens in UK cinemas on January 1 2016.
The trailer for the drama, directed by The King’s Speech’s Tom Hooper, has just arrived and it gives us a closer look at the fact-based tale. Redmayne stars as Einar Wegener, one of the first recipients of sexual reassignment surgery, who became Lili Elbe.
Elbe was born Einar Magnus Andreas Wegener, and before transitioning lived well as a famous artist with her wife, another famous artist named Gerda Gottlieb (Alicia Vikander). As we see in the trailer, Gottlieb accidentally causes Wegener to realize her true self by having the artist pose for a portrait. (Apparently, the original model just never showed up.) From that moment, as we see, their partnership is tested in ways neither of them could have anticipated.
If you’re operating under the illusion this movie isn’t going to wreck you emotionally then you’re a monster. Both the subject matter and the performers could not be more timely.Entertainment Weekly heralded “America’s Transformation” in its recent LGBT issue, with Laverne Cox as Lady Liberty on the cover. And over in Hollywoodland, Redmayne is the fresh and freckled Best Actor Oscar holder while Vikander is simply smashing 2015. She stole one of the year’s best movies (Ex Machina), starred in one of its sexiest (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.), and got rave reviews in the art house scene (Testament of Youth). Redmayne looks perfectly delicate and fearlessly prepared for the challenge of playing Elbe, and Vikander is in full Academy Award mode with all those strong-vulnerability tears streaming down her face. Oh, and Amber Heard is here! With a real role! Director Tom Hooper came at our emotions hard with The King’s Speech and Les Misérablesand he’s back for all our hearts with The Danish Girl.
The Danish Girl, which will premiere at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, reunites the Oscar-winning actor with Les Miserables director Tom Hooper, who also directed The King’s Speech.
The film opens in UK cinemas on January 1 2016.

Wresler Hulk Hogan begs forgiveness for slurs caught on secret audio recording
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has broken down in tears as he begged forgiveness and denied he was racist following the emergence of a tape where he used the word "n----r".
The most recognizable face in wrestling has been pilloried after the emergence of an audio recording of him making racist comments during a sex tape recorded between 2006 and 2007.
The scandal has seen Hogan, born Terry Bolea, wiped from the WWE Hall of Fame and shamed across the USA.
In an interview with US ABC’s Good Morning America, Hogan — the iconic wrestling persona of the man born as Terry Bollea — apologised for his racist outburst in the ‘pillow talk’ segment of a secretly recorded sex tape.
Hogan, 63, said he was angry at his daughter when he referred to her boyfriend, an African American, using the n-word.
Hogan said he had “no idea” that he was being taped, explaining: “I was to the point where I wanted to kill myself, you know?”
He described how he sat in his bathroom by himself, his estranged wife and children gone.
“I was completely broken and destroyed and said, ‘What’s the easiest way out of this?’ I mean, I was lost,” he said.
Eight years ago, Hogan was secretly filmed having sex with Heather Clem, the wife of Hogan’s former friend and radio host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
He is now suing Gawker Media, which published excerpts from the sex tape, for a reported $US100 million ($140 million).
That trial is set for next year.
In March, Hogan travelled to Australia and, in an exclusive in-depth interview withThe Advertiser, admitted he was rebuilding his life.
He said a series of setbacks including divorce, his son’s dangerous driving conviction, career injuries and repeated surgeries had left him bitter and emotionally distraught.
Hogan said returning to World Wrestling Entertainment — the company that made him a household name — was part of his rebirth as a better person.
“That Hulk Hogan character saved me, too ... when we came up with that character, it was up here (morally) and the man was down there,” he said.
“Through all these things in my life that happened, these worst-case scenarios, all these setbacks, I needed to take that character and find out who I was really supposed to be — someone who’s better than I thought I was, the better person I was meant to be.”
Weeks later, audio from the sex tape revealed the semiretired wrestling star’s expletive-laden racist rant.
Its publication caused WWE owner Vince McMahon to fire Hogan, erasing all mention of him from the company’s website and in their Hall of Fame.
Hogan said he was dismayed to wiped from the WWE Hall of Fame.
"I've worked for the WWE for almost 30 years off and on ... and then all of a sudden, everything I've done my whole career and my whole life was like it never happened," he said.
"I mean, I love this business. I mean, it's been my life. I've given my life to this business.
"I've destroyed my body because I love doing this so much ... And I knew great things were still coming. And - it just destroyed me."

First Fight of Ronda Rousey in MMA proves she was destined for greatness
This footage is five years old. Maybe you've seen it, but we haven't so we'll wager you haven't. This is Ronda Rousey's first MMA fight in 2010 when she took 23 seconds to beat Hayden Munoz at CFL - Ground Zero.
Kudos to the person who uploaded this video, because their description was prophetic.
"On August 6, 2010 Olympian Ronda Rousey made her MMA debut as an amateur for Combat Fight League's Ground Zero. Her first opponent was Hayden Munoz. Don't blink and make sure to follow this girl. She's for real."
Ronda looks legitimately concerned about her opponent too. This is her first ever fight. Gosh she's the best.
