I think everyone remember “Lucas”, that cute 1986 movie starring Winona, Charlie Sheen and… Corey Haim.
The ‘poster guy’ (9 between 10 teenagers at 80’s had his posters on the wall), star of “The Lost Boys” (one of my favorite movies all time!) was found dead this morning, after an accidental overdose. He was 38.
My condolences to family and friends.

In her latest GOOP newsletter, Gwyneth Paltrow talks about why the media spins stories negatively and mentions a “frenemy,” most likely referring to her former best friend, actress Winona Ryder. (Their friendship ended when Gwyn reportedly stole the part of Shakespeare in Love from Winona. Industry insiders have denied this rumor.)

Actor Brad Renfro, famous for his role in the movie “The Client,” was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Tuesday morning. He was 25.
Official cause of death has yet to be released, though the sometimes-troubled actor had spent 10 days in jail in 2006 after pleading ‘no contest’ to driving while intoxicated, and ‘guilty’ to attempted possession of heroin.
Renfro had recently finished working with Billy Bob Thornton and Winona Ryder on “The Informers.”

The same-but-different philosophies of Richard Linklater’s Cannes twofer
