Matlin also reveals that she was addicted to cocaine at the time, while Hurt was battling an addiction to alcohol. When O'Dell asks her if she considered leaving Hurt, Matlin replies, "I was so wrapped up in his world and my drugs. The drugs took over my life, took over my brain. I was 19 and I was alone in New York City. I had no friends there except my drug dealer."
Matlin also says she didn't contact Hurt when writing the autobiography, saying “He knows what happened, I know what happened. We both were there."
