Some of the many celebrities that have died from alcoholism over the years include Veronica Lake and Richard Burton. These two stars were two of the most notable celebrities of Hollywood’s Golden Age. However, finding fame and success in Hollywood wasn’t enough to keep them from turning to the bottle. In addition to alcoholism, Veronica Lake suffered from schizophrenia during her final years. Her abuse of alcohol only made her mental health worse, and she spent her last days believing that the government was spying on her. Richard Burton turned to alcoholism due to his dissatisfaction with his Hollywood career, as well as his marriage to fellow star Elizabeth Taylor. Richard preferred acting in plays to acting in films and hated himself for all of the time that he spent pursuing success doing the latter.

While Veronica Lake and Richard Burton are still remembered fondly by film fans, other celebrities who died tragically of alcoholism have been essentially forgotten. One unsung star that died tragically from alcoholism at a young age is Barbara Payton. Though Barbara never achieved fame like Veronica Lake, she was successful enough to star alongside stars like Gary Cooper. Sadly, that didn’t stop her from dying at the age of only 39 after suffering from alcoholism for a number of years. Join Facts Verse as we take a look at celebrities who died from alcohol.
