Lisa Nicole Carson Talks Being Black-Balled In Hollywood
Lisa Nicole Carson Talks Being Blackballed In Hollywood After Bipolar Diagnosis
Lisa Nicole Carson was, undeniably, one of the “it” actresses of the 1990s. No matter the movie or television show, Carson’s bright smile and curl fro always made an impression as she captivated viewers with witty one-liners. However, as the industry transitioned into the next Millennium, fans saw less and less of Carson, leaving many to assume that she traded in fame for a quiet life. Unfortunately, that was not the case; Carson was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and since then the mental illness has affected her ability to work.
Until now.
Deciding to heal, recover and reclaim her love for acting, Carson has chosen to share her story on Centric’s BEING, a documentary series where lauded figures in Hollywood share the poignant lessons they’ve learned as they rode fame’s wheel of fortune.
Premiering, Saturday, August 6 at 7 pm EST, BEING: Lisa Nicole Carson will give fans insight on how the actress became a mainstream icon in such a short period of time and the stigma and rejection she faced when news of her mental illness broke. Check out the preview below.
