James Dean is the only Hollywood star that comes close to matching River Phoenix’s meteoric rise and tragic demise. Phoenix became a teen star after his incomparable acting talent made pictures such as “The Mosquito Coast” and “Stand by Me” instant successes. Bigger roles followed with “Running on Empty” bringing an Academy Award nomination and “My Own Private Idaho” becoming a cult classic. Fame soon enveloped the young star, and he sadly succumbed to an overdose outside Hollywood’s Viper Room on Halloween Night, 1993. He was just 23, leaving the movie world to wonder, “what could have been…” The Type 1 image has all four borders. The reverse of the photo has the Steve Granitz/Retna Ltd. credit stamps and “River Phoenix” hand written in pen. Encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
