POISON CHARLENE’S HELPING CHILDREN!
FORMER Dallas bad girl Charlene Tilton is shooting the romance movie Starting Up Love after beating the bottle. She tried to drown “pain like none I have known” in a sea of booze following the sudden heart attack death of her beau Cheddy Hart, 56, in 2009. But the actress, now 60, quit and joined Actors for Autism, which leads improv and acting workshops for kids and adults with the disorder. The beauty was nicknamed the Poison Dwarf for her role as scheming Lucy Ewing on Dallas from 1978 to 1991. The twice-divorced mom of
Cherish, 36, also starred in Knots Landing and
2012’s Dallas reboot.
