'Roseanne' Star has premonition he'd die young

Roseanne star Glenn Quinn,who died of an apparent drug overdose, had an eerie premonition of his own death!
"Glenn always said he had this dark, foreboding feeling that he was going to die young," said a source close
to the 32-year-old actor. "Sometimes he'd say it as if he were joking but deep down I don't believe he was
kidding. Maybe he just knew that one day, he was going to end up killing himself with his self-destructive behavior. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy." Quinn,who played Mark Healy,the husband of Roseannes daughter Becky on the hit show from 1990 to 1997, died tragically of what police believe was a heroin overdose on December 3 in the North Hollywood home of a friend. "Everyone in the cast and crew loved Glenn. We adored him," Roseanne told the ENQUIRER. "He will be missed horribly." Quinn's death was a sad end for the Irish-born actor whose once-promising career had hit rock bottom. A friend of Quinn told the ENQUIRER that the actor's last years were marred by bankruptcy and stints in and out of rehab for booze and drugs. "Quinn couldn't stop drinking and doing drugs and he lost everything he ever had because of it," said the friend. "I remember one time he came around with his car trunk full of recess lighting fixtures he'd stripped out of his own home and he was trying to sell them for quick cash. The last time I saw him about five weeks before he died, he was begging for gas money. It was pathetic."
With his good looks and piercing blue eyes, Quinn was a hit with female fans of Roseanne. "Women were always
coming on to him....he could have had his pick of numerous women....he was a babe magnet and he had a happy-go-lucky, carefree demeanor." 'Roseanne' made Quinn a millionaire, with a posh home in Hollywood Hills, a Mercedes and a share in a rock club called Goldfingers. But what started as a taste for Irish whiskey, turned to a liking for cocaine and finally heroin, say those who knew Quinn. "The drink and the drugs eventually got the best of him." said the close source. "He lost everything,because of his addictions to booze, coke and heroin." "He lost the house and he started having trouble finding work. He was reduced to living in a one-bedroom North Hollywood apartment." A chance to jump-start his career came in 1999, when Quinn landed a part as the demon Doyle on the show "Angel", a spin-off from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." "But his drinking and drug use were bad by then and he became very confrontational," said the close source. "The show's producers got rid of the character." Two months ago, Quinn's partners in the rock club bought him out because he was an embarrassment. "He was begging money off customers and staff and sometimes he'd get nasty when he was drinking and start fights," said the friend. "He had fallen so far, that he really wasn't a pleasant person sometimes." The week before he died, Quinn failed in another attempt to rid himself of his demons. "He was booted out of the Sober Living Complex at Wavelengths, a Malibu rehab center,for using (drugs) again,"said a source. On the day before he died, Glenn showed up at his good friends Dwayne Higgins' apartment in North Hollywood for a visit. "Dwayne offered him a place to stay on the couch because Glenn was down and out," The Source said. "When Dwayne went to bed around 9:00pm, Glenn was sitting ont he couch and seemed fine. "The next morning Dwayne saw Glenn lying on the couch and thought he was sleeping, So Dwayne went out and did some errands.When he got back around 11:00am, Dwayne went to shake Glenn to wake him up. Glenn was stiff and cold, so he called 911. Police found a syringe among Quinn's possessions and his death,pending autosy tests,was ruled a suspected drug overdose. "It's sad that his life went so far downhill," said the actor's friend." His Irish luck ran out in the end."


Now this is the article that I read and found out about his death, I know alot of it is probably a lie
and is sad to read. Most stuff said in the ENQUIRER is most likely BULL SHlT, so don't take it seriosly, I am dissapointed that his close friends would even say most of the stuff they said about Glenn, if it be that this is true.
I've read this article almost every day since I got it, and it has not changed anything about Glenn. If it
weren't for this article I probably still wouldn't know about Glenn's death, honestly.

Do you have scan of that article? If it's the one I'm thinking of, it had some pics of the cast, at least Roseanne and Sara Gilbert, at his funeral.

Okay,this is an old post,but I have to reply:

I HATE that article.I have to agree with you DuhDuh539,I cant believe people who knew him would say such things like that.I have to agree that that whole article seems like bull**** to me.All it did was talk bad about him.When I read it,it p!ssed me off.I mean,talk about having no respect for the dead.How can you talk that way about someone who cant even defend himself??:mad:

And even if some of it is true,even if ALL of it is true,I dont care.I'm a very huge Glenn fan,and I wouldnt care if he was a male prostitute,I would still be a fan.To me,in my general opinion,he seemed like a genuinely nice person,was devilishly handsome,and was a d@mn good actorm,and no amount of trashtalk articles would change my opinion about him.

Also,Kudos to Roseanne for saying what she said.

Now yes,I do realize this is an old article and an old post,but it bothers me,so I had to say it,lol.

Also,I had this really sad tribute page somewhere,but I cant seem to find it.If I find it,I'll post it here for you all to read,if youre interested,with the 2nd year anniversary of his death coming closer.....

Peace,
Amanda
