Today (Oct. 31) we remember one of Hollywood’s most promising talents, River Phoenix. The young star died from a drug-related heart failure outside the Viper Room 20 years ago.
Phoenix rose to fame after 1986’s “Stand By Me” and earned an Academy Award two years later for his role in “Running On Empty.” He appeared in over 20 films and television projects throughout his career, though he said his first love was music.
The actor remains a legend for his expressive range and continues to resonate with audiences. Below, we pay tribute to the star with a look back at 10 of his most memorable moments — onscreen and off.
