FROM THE ARCHIVES: Corey Feldman (2002) interview with Darren Paltrowitz

Corey Feldman is a notable actor and musician who first started acting as a child in the late 1970s. His career took off internationally in the mid-1980s thanks to a string of huge global hits, including "Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter," "Gremlins," "The Goonies," "The Lost Boys" and "Stand By Me." Feldman kicked off his musicial career in the early 1990s with the "Love Left" solo album in 1992. Simply put, he has never stopped working.

In 2002, when promoting his then-new album "Former Child Actor" and an accompany tour, I had the pleasure of speaking with Corey by phone. Unfortunately the full recorded conversation did not survive, so enclosed are the final 8 or so minutes of our conversation.

Were my interviewer skills as an 19 or 20-year-old great? Nope.

But Corey was indeed patient with me, and it was a pleasure to speak with an entertainer whose work I have enjoyed for decades.
