River Phoenix
You might not know River Phoenix. But the Hollywood you know now wouldn’t exist without him. He’s many things in his life. An activist. Musician. An object of teen adoration. And that’s before he appears on screen. But, despite all that, he’s known for something else. An overdose. The death of a young man. Death of a dream. And, quietly, the start of a change.
