River Phoenix, Remembered
After Stand by Me, Phoenix was in both blockbuster and indie flicks such as The Mosquito Coat, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and My Own Private Idaho. Phoenix died tragically of a drug overdose in 1993 at the age of 23. “When River passed away, we all went to his funeral,” Jenkins says. “It was a heartbreaking, heartbreaking thing to participate in the funeral of somebody so young, so talented, and the waste of such a promising life.”
