Search Terms for youtube River Jude Phoenix (né Bottom; August 23, 1970 – October 31, 1993) was an American actor. Phoenix was known as a teen actor before taking on leading roles in critically acclaimed films. He received numerous accolades, including the Volpi Cup and the Independent Spirit Award as well as nominations for an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award. Phoenix grew up in an itinerant family, as the older brother of Rain Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix, Liberty Phoenix and Summer Phoenix. He began his acting career at age 10 in television commercials.[2] His early film roles include Explorers (1985), Stand by Me (1986) and The Mosquito Coast (1986). Phoenix made a transition into more adult-oriented roles earning a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the Sidney Lumet drama Running on Empty (1988). He earned the Volpi Cup for Best Actor and the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead for his performance as Michael Waters, a gay hustler in search of his estranged mother in the Gus Van Sant drama My Own Private Idaho (1991). Phoenix died at age 23 from combined drug intoxication in West Hollywood in the early hours of Halloween, 1993, having overdosed on cocaine and heroin (a mixture commonly known as speedball) at The Viper Room.[3] Early life Phoenix was born on August 23, 1970, in Madras, Oregon, the first child of Arlyn Dunetz and John Lee Bottom.[4] He had four younger siblings, Rain (born 1972), Joaquin (born 1974), Liberty (born 1976) and Summer (born 1978), as well as a paternal half-sister, Jodean (born 1964).[5] Phoenix's parents named him after the river of life from the Hermann Hesse novel Siddhartha,[2] and he received his middle name from the Beatles' song "Hey Jude". In an interview with People, Phoenix described his parents as "hippieish".[4] His mother, Arlyn, was born in New York to Jewish parents whose families had emigrated from Russia and Hungary.[6][7][8][9] His father, John Lee Bottom, was a lapsed Catholic from Fontana, California, of English, German and French ancestry.[7] In 1968, Phoenix's mother travelled across the United States. While hitchhiking in California she met John Lee Bottom. They married on September 13, 1969, less than a year after meeting. Phoenix's family moved cross country when he was very young. Phoenix has stated that they lived in a "desperate situation." Phoenix often played guitar while he and his sister sang on street corners for money and food to support their ever-growing family.[10] Phoenix never attended formal school. Screenwriter Naomi Foner later commented, "He was totally, totally without education. I mean, he could read and write, and he had an appetite for it, but he had no deep roots into any kind of sense of history or literature."[10] Filmmaker George Sluizer claimed Phoenix was dyslexic.[11] 1985 Explorers Wolfgang Müller 1986 Stand by Me Chris Chambers The Mosquito Coast Charlie Fox 1988 A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon Jimmy Reardon Little Nikita Jeff Grant Running on Empty Danny Pope 1989 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Young Indiana Jones 1990 I Love You to Death Devo Nod 1991 Dogfight Eddie Birdlace My Own Private Idaho Michael "Mikey" Waters 1992 Sneakers Carl Arbogast 1993 The Thing Called Love James Wright 1994 Silent Tongue Talbot Roe Posthumous release 2012 Dark Blood 1982–1983 Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Guthrie McFadden 21 episodes 1984 Celebrity Jeffie Crawford (Age 11) Miniseries ABC Afterschool Special Brian Ellsworth Episode: "Backwards: The Riddle of Dyslexia" It's Your Move Brian Episode: "Pilot" Hotel Kevin Episode: "Transitions" 1985 Robert Kennedy and His Times Robert Kennedy Jr. (Part 3) Miniseries Family Ties Eugene Forbes Episode: "My Tutor" Surviving: A Family in Crisis Philip Brogan Television film 1986 Circle of Violence: A Family Drama Chris Benfield Television film The autopsy report, finished on November 15, 1993, stated that there were "high concentrations of morphine and cocaine in the blood, as well as other substances in smaller concentrations." The cause of death was "acute multiple drug intoxication".[73] On November 24, 1993, Arlyn Phoenix (who later changed her name to Heart) published an open letter in the Los Angeles Times on her son's life and death. It read, in part: His friends, co-workers and the rest of our family know that River was not a regular drug user. He lived at home in Florida with us and was almost never a part of the "club scene" in Los Angeles. He had just arrived in L.A. from the pristine beauty and quietness of Utah where he was filming for six weeks. We feel that the excitement and energy of the Halloween nightclub and party scene were way beyond his usual experience and control. How many other beautiful young souls, who remain anonymous to us, have died by using drugs recreationally?
