U.K. network Channel 4 has commissioned a new documentary from Curious Films about TV host and author Paula Yates, who died following a heroin overdose at the age of 41 in 2000.
The two-part doc, titled simply “Paula,” will explore the “life and legacy” of the wildchild presenter, whose relationships with Boomtown Rats’ vocalist Bob Geldof and rockstar Michael Hutchence dominated the headlines in the late 1990s. Yates and Geldof’s daughter, model Peaches Geldof, also died of a heroin overdose at the age of 25 in 2014.
The doc promises to “reveal the real Paula Yates behind the tabloid-driven narrative, drawing on an extraordinary set of never-before-heard interviews, the words of some of those who knew her best and a wealth of archive to tell her story in her own words.”
Yates was a Channel 4 staple during her prime, fronting shows including “The Tube” and “The Big Breakfast” for which she interviewed...

Richard Lowenstein takes away the myths, but adds to the legend in his documentary Mystify: Michael Hutchence.
Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of Inxs, appeared to live a life in excess of the flavors of even some of the most hedonistic rock stars. He toured the world, dated pop idols and international models, and explored pleasure in all forms. His death, on Nov. 22, 1997, achieved equally mythic status.
The 37-year-old singer apparently hung himself with his snake skin belt in room 524 of Sydney's Ritz-Carlton hotel. The coroner's report said there was alcohol, cocaine, codeine, Prozac, Valium and prescription benzodiazepines in the artist's blood and urine. Paula Yates, who jilted her rock royalty husband to be with the "elegantly wasted" singer, added to the myth by theorizing Huchence died of autoerotic asphyxiation. Richard Lowenstein's documentary Mystify: Michael Hutchence, which Fathom Events will present in theaters for one night only on Jan.

The film about the Inxs frontman follows Surviving R Kelly and Leaving Neverland in upping the stakes considerably
What killed Michael Hutchence? Mystify: Michael Hutchence brings new information to light. According to then-girlfriend Helena Christensen, in 1992 the Inxs frontman got into an altercation with a taxi driver which led to him falling and hitting his head. She remembers him lying unconscious in the street with blood coming out of his mouth and ear. Hutchence woke up in hospital angry and confused, and refused to be treated. After that, friends say, he was never quite the same: he became aggressive, erratic and “seemed to crave more danger”. His death, five years later, was ruled to be suicide by hanging but, Mystify reveals, the autopsy revealed large areas of brain damage.

“Mystify” — a portrayal of charismatic Inxs singer Michael Hutchence, who committed suicide in 1997 at the age of 37 — makes powerful use of family and personal footage to tell the story of a talented man beset by personal demons, but illuminates the influence of a serious head injury that he hid from the public. The doc premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday night.
Voiceovers from Hutchence’s intimates — family members, Inxs bandmates, record producers, managers and girlfriends — along with press interviews, concert footage and home videos, give context to the unexpectedly intimate film. The singer is seen with former girlfriends like singer Kylie Minogue (their relationship gave Hutchence his first taste of tabloid fame) and model Helena Christensen on personal trips on the Orient Express, at beaches and decadent parties in France.

Peaches Geldof, the TV host, socialite and former model, most likely died from a heroin overdose, according to a coroner’s report.
Heroin Cited As Cause In Peaches Geldof Death
Geldof’s death at age 25 on April 7 shocked her family and friends, which includes her father, Irish musician Bob Geldof. Initial reports left investigators stumped as to her cause of death.
