'American Pie' star Natasha Lyonne was close to death at the height of her drug addiction. The actress - who played Jessica in the hit teen movie - was in hospital for five months in 2005 after her drug abuse spiralled out of control.She said: "I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, could hardly talk and could barely walk."Lyonne, 28, admits she was on the path to self-destruction and was no longer concerned about her acting career.She told the New York Post newspaper: "It definitely felt like I was on a mission, and working was not high on my priority list. I just did not foresee myself being an actress when all was said and done." Lyonne also insists she is grateful for the second chance she has been given.She said: "I took it about as far as I could. And I didn't die, so I decided to live, basically. Obviously it's complicated, but it's also very simple. I wasn't dead at 27, so I might as well be 30. You're already in it. You may as well be in a rocking chair some day eating a lobster club."(C) BANG Media International
