Re: Corey Haim...dead

Corey Haim seemed set for success comparable to his brat-pack contemporaries, but personal problems scuppered his career.

Haim did not come from a showbiz family but his parents, concerned at his shyness, put him into acting classes. By ten he was appearing in commercials, and in the mid 80s had a regular role in the TV comedy series The Edison Twins. After a few films, he scored a hit as Liza Minelli's dying son in the 1985 TV movie A Time to Live. In the post-divorce Murphy's Romance he played Sally Field's son, though it got limited distribution after a troubled production period.

After starring in the sub-John Hughes teen-comedy Lucas (1986) he fought teenage vampires in The Lost Boys (1987). A cult hit, it made Haim and his co-stars teen idols. It also introduced him to some important long-term friends and collaborators, notably Corey Feldman.

But he was succumbing to addiction, from cocaine through to crack, and eventually prescription drugs. The struggle crippled his career: the 90s saw a series of poor films and straight-to-video releases. Eventually his manager, Lost Boys co-star Brooke McCarter, dropped him and in 1997 he filed for bankruptcy.

Yesterday I was in a pub and the song Whatever Happened to Corey Haim by The Thrills came on. I had known that he'd died back in March, but it's spooky that this thread should come up.



Naff song, like.
