Midnight Man

Brett Butler is an American actress, writer, and stand-up comedian, best known for playing the title role in the comedy series Grace Under Fire. From 1993 to 1998, the Golden Globe-nominated actress was living the high life, thanks to her wildly popular show, but when ABC cancelled the series, due in part, to her rampant drug addiction, she quickly lost everything. She bounced from her LA mansion to a Georgia farm, and ended up destitute in a homeless shelter.
