My Take
Corey Feldman occupies a poignant place in my movie memory. For a few years in the mid-1980s he was in seemingly everything that defined adolescent adventure — Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand by Me, The Lost Boys — a run of classics most actors never touch in a lifetime. The decades since have been rockier, marked by reinventions in music and producing, and by his outspokenness about the dark side of child stardom. I find myself rooting for him precisely because of that honesty. The kid on screen gave my generation real joy, and the adult fighting to be heard deserves a fair hearing too.
