Mini Biography
His father John had been a carpenter, his mother Arlyn was a secretary in the Bronx. They met in California in 1968 where they worked as itinerant fruit pickers. By the time River was two, they were members of the Children of God, living in South America, where John was the sect's Archbishop of Venezuela. In 1977, they moved to Los Angeles, and changed their last name to Phoenix. His parents encouraged all of their children to get into movies and, by age ten, River was acting professionally on TV. His film debut was in Explorers (1985), followed rapidly by box-office successes with Stand by Me (1986) and The Mosquito Coast (1986), and as young Indiana in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). His role as Danny Pope in Running on Empty (1988) earned him an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor. His best role was probably Mike, the hustler in My Own Private Idaho (1991). He died at age 23 outside the Viper Room, Johnny Depp's Los Angeles club.
We will always love and miss you. xxx

river phoenix, a outstanding actor, musician, humanitarian, and person. i am so thankful to have discovered river because he has altered my life. through river i have given vegetarianism a try and i'll tell you this i have never felt more better! i really wish river was with us today but everyone dies and its a shame that he had gone too soon :( like anybody river had issues and the only time when he was truly happy was when he played his music, which is better then anything i've been hearing today. it pains me to see river hurt, (photos, film) his smile always seemed so haunting. my favorite actor ever and i am glad that i was alive before he passed (7 months old) i love you river phoenix, thank you for being who you are even till today, you're always missed but never forgotten. you'd be doing wonders if you were alive today but I hope that wherever you are now that you're more happy and relaxed then you were on earth. rest in peace river and i hope we will meet one day :)
a poem i put together:
heart of gold, mind as pure. eyes unfold endless tears.
thoughts as dark yet as light, taken away by the night.
flows through our hearts, streams through our memory
never forgotten and never will be.
a legend in fact who graced us with his soul
beautiful man so fresh, so whole. 17 years and still influential
he's forever young because uncareful.
nonetheless he'll live on with us forever
because he's everlasting just like the waters of a river
