Corey Haim

Corey Haim breaks my heart a little every time I revisit his work. In Lucas and The Lost Boys he had a rare, unguarded vulnerability that no acting class can teach — you believed every flicker of hope and embarrassment on that young face. To me he embodies both the magic and the cruelty of 1980s teen stardom: the industry adored him at fifteen and had little use for him at thirty. I choose to remember the performer, not the cautionary tale. Watch Lucas again and you will see a genuinely gifted actor whose best scenes still feel painfully honest decades later.
