Quotes

* Corey: (revealing he briefly dated Victoria Beckham in 1995) I did date Victoria Beckham. When she kisses she does this funny thing. She does this gnaw thing. She liked to gnaw on my lip.
* Corey: (on his drug-induced stroke) I was numb and I had lots of swollen lymph nodes, my heart was hurting and I had blood clots in my arm and leg.
* Corey: (on his prior drug habit) I was working on The Lost Boys (1987) when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986). I lived in Los Angeles in the ’80s, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack. I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day - the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the valium - I’m not talking about the other pills I went through.
* Corey: (on his previous drug use) I don’t even know why I’m still alive. My mum says I have angels and I hope that’s true.

According to Los Angeles police, the Mr. Haim died of an apparent drug overdose, he was discovered in his apartment.


Mr. Haim is perhaps best known for his role in the 1987 movie The Lost Boys. He recently starred in the reality show the Two Coreys with fellow 1980s star Corey Feldman.

He was 38.

His official website has not been updated with news of Haim’s death.

Corey Ian Haim (December 23, 1971 - March 10, 2010) was a Canadian actor, known for a 1980s Hollywood career as a teen idol. He starred or co-starred in a number of films such as Lucas, Murphy’s Romance, The Lost Boys, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. Most notably, he collaborated numerous times with Corey Feldman, the pair being dubbed “The Two Coreys”. Haim and Feldman starred in a TV ‘reality’ show titled The Two Coreys, which aired on the A&E Network from 2007 to 2008.


Early life and career

Haim was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the son of Judy, an Israeli-born computer operator, and Bernie Haim, who worked in sales. Haim was Jewish. He was enrolled in acting lessons by his mother in an attempt to help him overcome his shyness. Haim, not particularly fascinated by acting, participated in other activities, such as ice hockey, playing music on his keyboard and collecting comic books.

Haim first broke into mainstream acting playing the role of Larry in the Canadian family oriented comedy television series, The Edison Twins, which ran from 1982 through until 1986. Haim made his first cinematic appearance in the 1984 feature film, Firstborn, which starred Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. In 1985, Haim appeared in minor roles in Secret Admirer and Murphy’s Romance and starred in the leading role in a feature film version of Stephen King’s novella, Silver Bullet, playing a paraplegic boy alongside Gary Busey. Haim started to make a name for himself in the industry, notably by earning his first Young Artist Award as an Exceptional Young Actor Starring in a Television Special or Movie of the Week for the television movie A Time to Live.

Haim’s major break was in 1986, billed as the main star alongside Kerri Green, Charlie Sheen, and Winona Ryder in the popular movie Lucas. Haim would receive a nomination for an Exceptional Performance by a Young Actor Starring in a Feature Film - Comedy or Drama at the Young Artist Awards for his role as the title character. Film critic Roger Ebert gave Haim good reviews.Following the success of Lucas, Haim starred in the 1987 television series, Roomies.

Comeback

On December 4, 2006, Haim began taping an improv/reality show with Feldman titled The Two Coreys. The show premiered on the A&E Network on July 29, 2007. Haim and Feldman signed on for a second season of the show, which aired starting June 22, 2008.

Haim was nominated for a Viewer’s Choice Award at the 22nd Annual Gemini Awards in Canada for his role in The Two Coreys. He was voted #8 in the category of “Favorite Canadian” on a TV Series (not eligible for a Gemini) for his role in the A&E show.

On February 7, 2008, Haim ran a paid ad in a Hollywood trade publication, Variety, stating “This is not a stunt. I’m back. I’m ready to work. I’m ready to make amends.”

In February 2008, filming resumed in Vancouver for Lost Boys: The Tribe. Haim reversed his previous decision to not participate in the film, but did not appear on-screen until the closing credits.

Feldman stated his refusal to have further contacts with Haim until he recovered from his addiction. A & E decided against a third season of The Two Coreys and canceled it in July 2008. Amid their estrangement, there were unconfirmed reports that Warner Brothers plans to release a Lost Boys 3–with both of their characters facing off. In that scenario, Jamison Newlander would join the cast. Feldman is confirmed to star in, and executive produce, Lost Boys: The Thirst.

In 2008, Haim joined the cast of Shark City, which filmed in Toronto with Vivica Fox, Carlo Rota, David Phillips, and Jefferson Brown, and premiered in 2009. Haim was reported to be in two films scheduled for a 2010 release: The Pick Up and SAD (Standard American Diet).

Actor Corey Haim died this morning of an apparent overdose — possibly accidental - according to LAPD. He was 38.

Haim shot to fame in the 80s -when he co-starred in a number of films, including “The Lost Boys,” with Corey Feldman.

Haim reportedly suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center.

Haim also reportedly was in and out of rehab 15 times, but cleaned up in 2004 after moving to Toronto.
