Full Corey Feldman Biography
Corey Feldman started work in the movie industry at the tender age of three - and this was the start of one of the most turbulent movie careers ever. He is most remembered for his part as one of the 'Frog' brothers in the horror movie Lost Boys, The (1987) - however the characters that he has played in most of his movies have always been slightly 'way-out'. His major part alongside Meredith Salenger in 'Dream A Little Dream' was the first time he had played a part like Bobby Keller - and he handled it very well.
Corey Feldman has also teamed up with his friend and co-star in 'Dream A Little Dream' - Corey Haim a few times for various movies. In the early 1990s he was sadly arrested for possession of drugs, but he has now bounced back from this stage in his life and is back doing movies and is better than ever, with his performances in 'Meatballs 4' and even the early 1990's movie 'Edge Of Honor' with his `Dream' co-star Meredith Salenger, things are now looking up for Corey Feldman. All of his movies are definitely worth a watch - no matter how hard they are to find in some cases (Edge of Honor is one of these..) |

Additional Corey Feldman Biography
Feldman, the second of five children, was born in Chatsworth, California to Bob Feldman, a rock producer and musician and Sheila (née Goldstein), a cocktail waitress. Feldman is Jewish and has two brothers, Eden and Devin, as well as two sisters, Mindy and Brittnie. Mindy Feldman started her career at age six, as the youngest member of the new Mickey Mouse Club in the '70s.
In 1989, Feldman appeared in The 'Burbs opposite Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher, and provided the voice of Donatello for the first and the third Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. Since Feldman was entering rehab, he asked Adam Carl to fill in for him in the second film.
After a public battle with drugs, Feldman fought to re-establish his life and career by working with teens, starring in several lesser-known films, and branching out with an album. His first musical release, in 1993, was titled Love Left and featured a the moderately successful single "Honesty". He returned to the big screen with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III where he again did the voice of Donatello, re-teamed with Corey Haim in Blown Away, and starred in the Richard Donner/Robert Zemeckis/Joel Silver film Bordello of Blood, opposite Dennis Miller.
In 2002, Feldman released a solo album, Former Child Actor, and promoted it with a US tour. In 2002, he appeared in the first celebrity-driven reality series The Surreal Life on the VH1. On the show, he publicly married Susie Sprague. The next year, he made a cameo appearance in the movie Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star starring David Spade.
In 2005, Feldman had his stage debut in the positively reviewed off-Broadway play Fatal Attraction, a Greek Tragedy, a parody of the seminal 1987 film Fatal Attraction directed by Timothy Haskell. Feldman played the lead character named "Michael Douglas" (as opposed to the "Dan Gallagher", the name of the character played by Douglas in the original film). Feldman recently appeared in the theatrical release My Date with Drew and is currently the voice of "Sparx-77" in the Toon Disney / ABC Family series Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!.
In 2007, Feldman and Corey Haim have a scripted reality TV show lined up entitled, "The Two Coreys", on the A&E Network. Portraying fictional versions of themselves, Haim and Feldman began taping on December 4, 2006. The show's premiere is scheduled for July 29, 2007, at 10:00 p. m. (PT/ET)
In the Winter of 2007, Corey's new film "Terror Inside" will be his first to be released since the premiere of his A&E show. It was filmed in the Greater Orlando area by Minott Lenders, an independent film company based in Florida. The offbeat horror film also stars Tanya Memme (A&E's "Sell This House"), Susie Feldman, Chad Jamian Williams, and other new names. Terror Inside Official Trailer
Feldman was once a friend of Michael Jackson until a visit to Manhattan, where Feldman claimed that Jackson abandoned him while he and his kids left the city. During the 2005 Jackson molestation trial, Feldman alleged in a 20/20 interview that Jackson had shown him nude photos. Corey was subpoenaed as a witness and placed under a gag order. He is quoted saying the following in reference to what occurred between him and Jackson:
"The book was focused on venereal diseases and the genitalia and he sat down with me and he explained it to me, showed me some different pictures and discussed what those meant. I was kind of grossed out by it. I didn't think of it as a big deal and for all these years, I probably never thought twice about it".
On August 6, 1988 he married Vanessa Marcil. They divorced in 1993. He later married Susie Sprague on October 30, 2002, on the final episode of The Surreal Life. The ceremony was officiated by M.C. Hammer, an ordained minister. Hammer and Mötley Crüe bandmember Vince Neil, both fellow Surreal Life castmembers, performed at the reception. They have one son, Zen Scott Feldman, born on August 7, 2004.
On childhood stardom, Feldman states, "I'm very opposed to child stardom. I think it's a big mistake that young people are made superstars and the not given the opportunity to live a normal life when they finally figure out what that is." Feldman was honored in 2004 with a Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award and was ranked #8 on VH1's Greatest Kid Stars in 2005.
