Troubled Maia Campbell
Rumors about Campbell's drug problems and erratic behavior in Hollywood began to surface shortly after In The House was canceled, in 1997. Suggestions that her problems stem from a mental illness apparently derive from the best-selling novel 72 Hour Hold.American Chronicle: Maia Campbell Internet Video Shows a Sad Display of a World Gone Wrong (January 6, 2007)
Campbell's mother was Bebe Moore Campbell, a best-selling novelist who died of brain cancer on November 27, 2006. Many of her books contained a common theme of mental illness, and 72 Hour Hold is about a mother coping with her daughter's bipolar disorder. Before her death, Moore Campbell said that the story was based on the struggles of a family member.American Chronicle: Maia Campbell Internet Video Shows a Sad Display of a World Gone Wrong (January 6, 2007)
