Holland Taylor Says Sheen Was Great Until His Brain Exploded

Holland Taylor is blaming Charlie Sheen’s rush to get off drugs for the way he self-destructed in public. Taylor played Sheen’s mother on “Two and a Half Men.” Taylor says Sheen “obviously had some sort of brief psychotic break” when he quit drugs cold turkey. She notes doctors say that’s a very dangerous thing to do. Taylor says Sheen “cut it off and he had an explosion in his brain.” Taylor says Ashton Kutcher has replaced Sheen seamlessly and everyone in the cast loves him. Taylor is in Washington, where she’ll open in her one-woman show about former Texas Governor Ann Richards next week at the Kennedy Center.
