addict  Florrie Fisher (qv), who talked to kids in schools about the  dangers of drugs during the 1970s. Many of the shows story lines  mirror Fishers account precisely, including Jerris joining a cult,  lesbian compulsion and in the series finale, her relapse and return  to the streets. In real life, Fisher mysteriously disappeared after  her high school lecture stint, having presumably relapsed to a life  of addiction, prostitution and thievery.
