Additional Comments: My mom told me about this this morning. My favorite film with Corey was LUCAS and then maybe LICENSE TO DRIVE and THE LOST BOYS with Corey Feldman. Wow, wasn't Feldman friends with Michael Jackson too? Here is the link to the article:

While the definitive tests won't be back for some time yet, I read yesterday(?) that the prescription drugs he had taken weren't legitimate. That they were found to have been illegal copies of real drugs, which means that he very well may have thought he was taking something safe, when he wasn't. There will probably always be some questions left unanswered.

It wasn't all that long ago that the Johnson & Johnson heiress died & there was all sorts of speculation, then it was finally revealed that it was basically complications from her diabetes that killed her. Someone with a compromised system is always going to be vulnerable to drugs & interactions--whether they were illegal or prescription.

I loved that movie Lucas.

I will never understand why people get into drugs.  From the first time your judgement is impaired.  Maybe I answered my own question.

  • Lucas just came on AMC not too long ago. I DVRed it and my husband and I watched it. It's still a great movie.eom/Raena

    I just read about that,  that is so sad.  I was such a fan of his,  especially when he was younger.  I loved the movies Silver Bullitt and First Born.  He was such a talented young man.  Too bad he started using drugs,  it destroys so many peoples lives.  RIP Corey.

  • Hollywood must be a hard place to exist in because it seems that every other actor comes into contact with drugs at some point. eom/Raena
  • Drugs are everywhere, from small town to big cities. It is about addiction & dysfunction, not about Hollywood. Hollywood is where a lot of very damaged people gravitate, for a variety of reasons. Along w/those dysfunctional elements come drugs & alcohol. There are lots of actors who DON'T drink or drug, but they don't make the tabloids. They don't hold up video stores, sleep in the homes of strangers or make situations for the paparazzi to feed on. The non-celebrities in the world get to grow up, make mistakes & move on. Hollywood & the celebrity driven media hangs onto every unfortunate situation, inflates it & fixates on it. Most of the actors who started out as child actors had HUGE adjustments to make to effectively transition from child star to adult, working actor. Add that to coming into it all, usually, from a dysfunctional family & it is bound to happen. eom
