“The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree,” is a truism that is particularly crystallized in the case study of beleaguered actress Lindsay Lohan.

As Lohan swears off alcohol even as her mother continues to struggle with her addictions, we take a look at other A-list celebrities whose parents are or were addicted to drugs.
