Actress pleads guilty to drug charge

LOS ANGELES The 48-year old actress agreed to enter an 18-month drug deferment program. If successfully completed, the case will be dismissed.

Phillips was arrested in August after airport police found her carrying what appeared to be cocaine and heroin.

Friday, she said thank you to law enforcement, telling the judge that the arrest probably saved her life.
