Last night at the Viper Room : River Phoenix and the Hollywood he left behind

Edwards, Gavin, 1968-2014
Books
Raised in Venezuela under the aegis of the cultish Children of God, 18-year-old River Phoenix took Hollywood by storm when he starred in 'Stand By Me', and soon won an Oscar nomination for 'Running on Empty'. Praised by his peers as the most talented actor of his generation, River came of age in the spotlight. Yet, on October 31, 1993, at the age of 23, River Phoenix died of a drug overdose in front of West Hollywood's storied club, the Viper Room. Gavin Edward tells the story of the night River Phoenix died and explores the world he lived in, his life, and lasting legacy.
