Corey Feldman
Corey Scott Feldman was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1971. He was the second of five children of Bob Feldman, a musician who had his own talent agency, and Sheila Goldstein. He has an older sister Mindy, a younger sister, Brittnie, and two younger brothers, Eden and Devin.
At the age of three, Corey Feldman starred in a Clio Award-winning McDonald's commercial, the first small step on the road to becoming a very successful child actor. He began his career with minor roles in television series such as Alice (1978) and Mork & Mindy (1980), before landing a regular part on the sitcom, The Bad News Bears (1980). His first film appearance was in Time After Time (1979), which he followed up with a small speaking role in Walt Disney's The Fox & The Hound (1981).
Feldman's break-through roles which established him as the top child actor of his time came in two blockbuster movies. In the comedy horror Gremlins (1984) he played Pete Fountaine, whilst in The Goonies (1985), based on a Steven Spielberg story, he is cast as Mouth, one of a group of kids who embark on a wild adventure after finding a pirate treasure map.
Feldman had a memorable leading role as Teddy Duchamp, alongside River Phoenix and Kiefer Sutherland in the 1986 hit, Stand By Me, and a year later made his first on-screen appearance with his close friend Corey Haim in the cult hit The Lost Boys (1986). Feldman and Haim soon became known as 'The Two Coreys', and were widely followed in a number of pre-teen magazines such as BOP and Tiger Beat. They went on to star in a string of successful late-teen films including License to Drive (1988) and Dream a Little Dream (1989).
By the early 1990s Feldman grew tired of the "Corey Mania" and he and Haim decided to go their separate ways professionally, and focus on their own personal careers. Haim died in 2010 at the age of 38 of natural causes, although it was initially thought to be from an accidental drug overdose.
At the height of his popularity during the late '80s, Feldman partied wildly using alcohol and drugs to excess. Feldman's drug addictions became public knowledge, and he was arrested in 1990 for possessing heroin, requiring him to spend time in rehab.
Feldman's parents probably deserve some of the blame for the way he turned out. Apparently his parents squandered much of the money he earned in his youth, and Feldman was so upset about this that in 1986 when he was 15 years old, he sued to be 'legally divorced' from them.
After leaving rehab in the early '90s, he found that he was no longer 'hot property' in Hollywood. However, he has had a steady stream of roles as an adult actor (many of them quite insignifcant) in a number of films including the horror thriller Voodoo (1995); the comedy She's Too Tall (1999) with Brigitte Nielsen, and the horror film Seance (2001). In the comedy horror The Birthday (2004), a film that he feels to be his best work to date, Feldman plays Norman Forrester, a role that won him the 'Best Actor' award at the Luxemburg Film Festival in 2006.
Another award came by way of the thriller Terror Inside (2008), in which Feldman starred as Allen, and won him a 'Crystal Reel' Best Actor Award. In the German comedy Lucky Fritz (2009), he plays a country bumpkin who, after being struck by lightning, becomes irresistable to everyone.
Feldman has also done a lot of TV work including ten episodes each of the series Dweebs (1995), and Splatter (2009) in which he played the title role of Johnny Splatter. There have also been TV movies like Legion (1998), Lovesick (2001), From Rags to Reuben (2011) and Crash & Burn (2012).
Depressed by his lack of film roles in the early 1990s, Feldman decided to reinvent himself as a pop singer. In 1993 he released his debut album Love Left, but unsurprisingly, the album sold poorly. His second album Still Searching for Soul also had no appeal for the record-buying public. Despite his lack of singing success, Feldman has continued to make new music albums, all of which have been commercial failures.
During the 1980s & 1990s, Feldman was a friend of Michael Jackson. He idolized him during the height of Jackson's career, and visited the famous Neverland Ranch on many occasions. However, the friendship ended when Jackson suspected that Feldman was going to write a 'tell-all' book about him.
In 2012, Feldman was a contestant in Series 7 of ITV's Dancing on Ice. He was paired with American professional skater Brooke Castile. He was eliminated by the judges in week 4, after losing a skate-off with Dallas actress Charlene Tilton.
Away from acting, Feldman supports a number of charities including PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals); the Amie Karen Cancer Fund, and the environmental charity, Global Green.
In 1989, at the height of his drug and alcohol fuelled partying, he married the actress Vanessa Marcil, but the marriage only lasted for two years. In 2002, Feldman married another actress Susie Sprague in a ceremony presided over by early 1990s rap artist, MC Hammer. They had a son, Zen Scott Feldman, before they divorced in 2009.
