The road to stardom is often paved with amazing and devastating public and private events. In hour-long episodes of The Price of Fame, see the heartfelt stories of Shania Twain, Johnny Depp, Carrie Fisher, Patrick Swayze, Prince and Robin Williams. Whether it's turbulent family drama, harrowing substance abuse, outlandish spending habits or a combination of those and more, these celebrities all paid a hefty price for their fame. Giving viewers an intimate perspective on each story are personal accounts from the celebrity's family members and friends in addition to entertainment journalists who covered the rise, fall and sometimes rise again of the stars.

The life of an A-list superstar doesn't come easy; and Johnny Depp has learned this lesson the hard way. Known for his portrayal of eccentric characters in films such as Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Edward Scissorhands, Depp's success has also been met with harsh criticism. His famously lavish spending and $30,000 a month wine habit have left him nearly broke. Although adored by millions of fans worldwide, Depp's drunken moments of rage have also been well-documented and he is now attempting to reboot his life and career for the better.

The odds against Shania Twain becoming the biggest-selling female country music artist in history were against her. When both of her parents were killed in a car accident, the teenaged Twain struggled to raise her siblings. After linking up with then-Producer and future-husband Mutt Lange, Twain's career skyrocketed to awards and Billboard success with the release of her second album. Years later, when it was revealed that Twain's husband was having an affair with their assistant, her life and career began spiraling downwards. Alone, suicidal, and afraid, Twain was also left with a condition that robbed her of her singing voice. In a shock to the world, Twain went on to marry the husband of her ex-assistant.

Few artists can compare to the talent and mystery of Prince. Despite his overt sexuality and performing prowess, the painfully shy artist spent much of his career secluded from the public eye and battling his record company over music rights.

Known around the world as Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" franchise, Carrie Fisher was an actress and award-winning writer; Carrie was introduced to drugs at a young age, which marked the beginning of her struggle with addiction.

A true dancer at heart, Patrick Swayze has the talent and rugged good looks to justify his status as a teenage heartthrob after the smash hit "Dirty Dancing."

Often considered the most unique mind on Earth, the life of Robin Williams as a brilliant actor and comic gets overshadowed by his own personal demons.
