Corey Haim 1971 – 2010

There once was a story. A story with two Coreys. It was a story Hollywood would tell many times with Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. One Corey was good; while the other Corey not so good. One was a clean-cut kid that seem to have everything and the other seem to find his way into a lot of troubles. In many fans eyes, the good Corey was Corey Haim and the bad one was Corey Feldman. If there was ever a time we would wake up to shocking news about an overdose on drugs; many would have believe the headlines would have read “Actor Corey Feldman Found Dead” and not the one we all woke up to this morning, that had it the other way around. Both Coreys had a lot of good times and their fans saw them as the best of friends on and off the big screen in Hollywood movies. The reason I mention Corey Feldman, is because you really can’t have one without the other. They were like twins, brothers, or maybe just like peanut butter and jelly. They went together and they was a perfect fit for each other. As a fan, I admire both Coreys and sad to see one-half gone today; when I woke up to see that actor Corey Haim was found dead in the early morning hours in Burbank, California.

Corey Feldman & Corey Haim

Corey Haim was only 38 years old and even though he was took away from us all too soon, he has lived more in his 38 years; than most of us will ever live in our own lives. We could live to be 100 years old and I think Corey Haim would have still lived a fuller life. He was very young when he started acting and met up with his good friend Corey Feldman. Both of the Coreys played in a lot of good movies, but I think the one I like most or will remember the most is a 1992 movie called Blown Away. This movie featured Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, and Nicole Eggert. We got to see little Jamie from Charles in Charge grow up in this one and she wasn’t so innocent in this Corey Haim flick.

Corey Haim’s life today can be called a tragic one and one that didn’t have a happy ending on March 10th. If you were doing the story of Corey Haim’s life on March 9th in 2010; then you would have seen a great Hollywood story and one that was taking a few bumps as he was approaching 40. Now we will never get to see a 40 year-old Corey Haim, due to an accidental over dose in Burbank, California in the early morning hours local time. I look forward to seeing which TV stations will honor the legacy of Corey Haim and all the upcoming specials that will soon be airing his life story. RIP Corey Haim…
