KimiSueGirl, so very true. i used drugs off and on for 25yrs. I definitely was self medicating myself. It's a hard life on drugs...its a more fulfilling beautiful life without. Ive been clean for 5 1/2 years...and those my friend has been the best. Now I'm a recovering addicted. :)

Joaquin Phoenix was with River Phoenix when he collapsed outside The Viper Room. Can you imagine watching your brother die right before your eyes?!!

May his gentle soul help to heal what he yearned for yet as a mortal, was an impossible feat -- to educate the masses and actually get something done about the misuse of our planet and try to leave it for m/billions of evolving generations to come.

Player #177599Kataclysmic, Joaquin Phoenix, rain Phoenix and his gf were all with him when he died and then one of the members of red hot chili peppers came out after and Johnny Depp was there too.

Can't believe it's been 25 years since his death- I thought he was a very good actor. "Running On Empty", was one of his best performances :-)

Player #4191131, Brandon Lee was accidentally killed during the filming of The Crow by the actor who played "Funboy" and Lee was only 28 at the time of his death. He was the only one on the list that didn't die due to substance abuse.

Hollywood is dangerous for the talented. choices are so clouded in fantasy and wishes for success and happiness in a world not easy to find it. RIP

BrinyEggman2405, congratulations, May God continue to bless you.

Player #177599Kataclysmic, Can you imagine watching someone make fun of them dying as the person was dying? Yup, Christina Applegate was the person. Disgusting. I don't watch tv or movies she's in. She is morally corrupt.

He died at just the right time to ensure his legacy.

They never mention The Mosquito Coast. He was spot on in that.

Player #177599Kataclysmic, yes, but it was my sister.....

Dr. Michael Hunter, the Medical Examiner on the TV show, "Autopsy, the Last Hours of," said that River Phoenix had been in Utah working on his current movie for ten weeks. He used no drugs during this time, and his body lost its tolerance. When he returned to LA, he started using the same amount where he'd left off ten weeks earlier. His clean body couldn't handle the amount, and he overdosed. Another sad loss. He was brilliant in "My Own Private Idaho."
Lionessa
River Phoenix and his siblings were raised inside a notorious cult called The Children of God. The adults in the cult, including Ma and Pa Phoenix, forced sexual behavior between children as young as four. It's probably a miracle any of the kids are alive and/or sane.

Pallie Nardali, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING ABOUT THE QUESTION ❓⁉️😂

spyguy13, My goodness; some Hollywood parents don't have a lick of sense when they name their children!
Cat Mom
Lionessa, WHAT? FOR REAL?
Cat Mom
DeeJay #OU812, yes, someone put live ammo in a prop gun & he was killed while pretending to be shot up in a scene from the movie! The movie was finished when several other great actors stepped in and played his roll, somehow!
Cat Mom
BrinyEggman2405, you mean a recovering "addict" :)

Illegal drugs...can make you a slave, and dead!

I remember this day because I had a crush on him
Sher
Special Patrol Group forgot "I Love You to Death". River was great in that, too. Oh, and the beginning of I.J. and the Last Crusade, as young Indy.
Nellz Plural
My first true tv crush! I still tear up thinking about him today! Love you ALWAYS River!! God knows what he could have accomplished in his field as an actor. For he did a great job in the films he left behind!
