In 2010, Cameron Douglas,
the only son of actor Michael Douglas and Diandra Douglas, was
sentenced to five years in prison for pleading guilty to selling bulk
quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine at Manhattan's upscale Hotel
Gansevoort in 2009. His father, the Oscar-winning actor, pleaded for his
son to get less jail time and ultimately got his wish. In a five-page
letter to the judge, Michael Douglas wrote that his son had been in and
out of rehab since he was 13, and Douglas blamed his family's history of
addiction as well as his own fame and that of his father Kirk Douglas
for his son's difficulty in finding his own way. He added, "Cameron
grew up a single child in a bad marriage."
