The River Phoenix I will remember is the gentle young man I met three years ago at a grape boycott rally in front of a supermarket in Miami. He had already had a brilliant career as an actor, was on the cover of all the teen magazines and had just been nominated for an Oscar. His clothes looked fresh, his hair was creased–apparently from wearing a baseball cap–and he wore a small, St. Francis-style wooden cross around his neck.

I wondered what this Hollywood star was doing at a modest little rally in Miami on that day, with no sign of any young fans around, just a few dozen middle-aged do-gooders like myself. He had been fasting for the grape-picker cause, and he gave a little talk over a megaphone that ended with “God bless you.” He hugged a Mexican American next to him, to whom he passed along his fast.

How strange to hear that he left us in the middle of the night in front of a Sunset Strip nightclub.

“It’s really designed, I think, to strip you and blend you. It’s like feeling like the invisible man. You just stand there, and you start disintegrating, and you can’t see yourself, and you just feel like you’re being absorbed into this big blob of glitter. I just can’t hang”

“He knows his mind and speaks it, even if what he says doesn’t fit in with his peers. You could call River the ultimate individualist. A vegan in the day of McDonalds, a pacifist in the era of nuclear weapons” - Teen Beat, 1988

My aesthetic is Gus Van Sant in the ‘90s making the Phoenixes play LGBTQ+ characters in different movies, happy pride!

“Suddenly, River was a Hollywood name and girls everywhere were falling for his cherubic good looks. But the young actor was determined not to let success go to his head. “People get lost,” he said. “They think they have it under control, and their lives are in pieces.””
