One of the best young actor of his time. Sure, this guy was EXTREMELY
hot, but thats not all there was to him. He was an
AMAZING actor. Best films included Stand By Me, My Own Private Idaho and Running on empty, among many others. No doubt, that if he had not died of a drug overdose on October
31, 1993, he would be considered one of the greatest actors of this time, along with the likes of Johnny Depp.
River
Phoenix was a truly
amazing human being with a heart of
gold, who just wanted some privacy in his life, and did not want to be an open book.
