River Phoenix & Martha Plimpton

“Once when we were fifteen, River and I went out for this fancy dinner in Manhattan and I ordered soft-shell crabs. He left the restaurant and walked around on Park Avenue, crying. I went out, and he said, ‘I love you so much. Why?’ He has such a pain that I was eating an animal, that he hadn’t impressed on me what was right. I loved him for that, for his dramatic desire that we share every belief, that I be with him all the way.” ~ Martha Plimpton

Aleka's Attic - River's Band

Aleka's Attic had a 2-year development deal with Island Records, which was not accomplished in the time allotted due to River's ongoing film work schedule. In 1997, River’s friend, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., bought over the rights to all of Aleka's Attic's material from the record company.

The Thing Called Love (1993)

"The nicest memory I have of him is when we went down to his family's property in Costa Rica, and we'd eat these mangoes for breakfast. River had them dripping all over him. When he ate, he ate with his hands. For me, he'll always be that beautiful, drippy mess." ~ Samantha Mathis.

River's Incomplete Final Film - Dark Blood

However, the film’s director, George Sluizer, held on to the footage and in 2011 decided to “complete” the unfinished film without his star. He replaced the missing scenes with his own narration of what was supposed to take place. The film finally premiered to an invited audience on September 27, 2012, at the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands.
