One of the highest paid child stars of the 80’s, Feldman was the star of The Goonies, Stand By Me, and The Lost Boys. He attempted to revive his career with the TV show The Two Corey’s with his friend and former co-star Corey Haim. However, this failed and he fell into a party lifestyle where he became a drug addict and alcoholic. He is, however, one of those who rose above their personal struggles; though there are few of them. After 10 months in rehab he was able to become sober and today he is a father and makes music with his band “Truth Movement.”
