"Spares no details." --Starred "Publishers Weekly" Review
"An incredible read." --Richard Donner, Director
"People always ask me about life after childhood stardom. What
would I say to parents of children in the industry? My only advice,
honestly, is to get these kids out of Hollywood and let them lead
normal lives." --Corey Feldman
"A deeply personal and revealing Hollywood-survival
story."
Lovable child star by age ten, international teen idol by fifteen,
and to this day a perennial pop-culture staple, Corey Feldman has
not only spent the entirety of his life in the spotlight, he's
become just as famous for his off-screen exploits as for his roles
in such classic films as "Gremlins, The Goonies, "and "Stand by
Me." He's been linked to a slew of Hollywood starlets (including
Drew Barrymore, Vanessa Marcil, and adult entertainer Ginger Lynn),
shared a highly publicized friendship with Michael Jackson, and
with his frequent costar Corey Haim enjoyed immeasurable success as
one half of the wildly popular duo "The Two Coreys," spawning seven
films, a 1-900 number, and "Coreymania" in the process. What child
of the eighties didn't have a Corey Feldman poster hanging in her
bedroom, or a pile of "Tiger Beats" stashed in his closet?
Now, in this brave and moving memoir, Corey is revealing the truth
about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that
included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family
from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile
arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a
long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.
While Corey has managed to overcome the traps that ensnared so many
other entertainers of his generation--he's still acting, is a
touring musician, and is a proud father to his son, Zen--many of
those closest to him haven't been so lucky. In the span of one
year, he mourned the passing of seven friends and family members,
including Corey Haim and Michael Jackson. In the wake of those
tragedies, he's spoken publicly about the dark side of fame,
lobbied for legislation affording greater protections for children
in the entertainment industry, and lifted the lid off of what he
calls Hollywood's biggest secret.
"Coreyography" is his surprising account of survival and
redemption.
