Toxic Groupie: Cathy Smith Documentary

Who was Cathy "Silverbag" Smith, involved in comic actor John Belushi's 1982 death at the Chateau Marmont, after briefly meeting his pals Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro? What other celebrities did Smith know, who may have helped her attain a 15-month plea deal for involuntary manslaughter charges? Was Belushi's dislike of needles involved in his demise?

Corrections:

At 4:26, the woman pictured between Aykroyd and Belushi is Penny Marshall, not Cathy Smith.
