This just in from the G4:
We lost one of the biggest icons of the late 80's early this morning. Former teen idol, Corey Haim has succumbed to a long battle with addiction. After an apparent accidental overdose, he was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles apartment and passed-away in a nearby hospital in Burbank. He was 38 years-old.
Besides achieving fame in his own right in such films as Stephen King's Silver Bullet and classic feel-good film, Lucas, Haim was also one-half of the duo of "Two Corey's" along with fellow child star, Corey Feldman. Together, they lit-up, not only the tabloids, but the box-office. Of course, they gave great performances in the still-awesome update of the vampire genre, The Lost Boys, and appeared together in some disposable romp comedies like License to Drive and the Dream A Little Dream films.
There's a weird dynamic that goes with teen idols. I was a just a kid when the Two Corey's were tearing it up. It was a time when teen-idoldom was surging with the New Kids on the Block phenom, and even at my young age, I felt "too cool for school" in regards to the Coreys' role in the world. (And justifiably so.) However, one still can't help but look back at those days and concede that teen idols are an important part of the spirit of a particular era. (For better or worse.) So, while you won't catch me going out to Wal-Mart to fill a cart with Jonas Brothers posters and CD's, I think I can objectively look back at Corey Haim's contribution to pop culture and give him his due respect.
RIP: Corey Haim
