Edward Mulhare

Mulhare died of lung cancer in 1997. His sister, Rain, appeared in van Sant's adaptation of Tom Robbins's story Even Cowgirls Get the Blues alongside many other well-known personalities. His credentials include starring roles in two television series, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir and Knight Rider, as well as many guest starring performances on other programs. So far, of his siblings, his younger brother Joaquin has achieved the greatest success, with his first major role coming in another Gus van Sant movie To Die For, opposite Nicole Kidman. Born in Cork, Ireland, Mulhare intended to study medicine, but was sidetracked by a growing interest in acting. He died at age 23 of a drug overdose, outside the Viper Room, a Hollywood night club partly owned by actor Johnny Depp, and was cremated in Gainesville, Florida. Edward Mulhare (April 8, 1923 - May 24, 1997) was a popular television leading man from 1956 to 1995. River disliked being seen as just a sex symbol.

River was also a friend of John Frusciante (guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers) and appeared on his debut album on the song Soul Removal. He was friends with both of them and their friendship continued beyond the movie. He later went on to star opposite Keanu Reeves in Gus van Sant's My Own Private Idaho. He had significant juvenile roles in Stand by Me and The Mosquito Coast and portrayed a teenage Indiana Jones.

Phoenix was one of five siblings who pursued careers in show business, encouraged by their parents, former Children of God missionaries. His opinions on the issue were so strong that when his actress girlfriend, Martha Plimpton, ordered soft-shell crab at a restaurant, he was reported to have begun to cry in disappointment. He believed that eating animals was wrong and was the one who, as a child, convinced his family to become vegans. He and his family were all vegetarians.

It was only after Stand By Me that River's family was able to buy a car that was not secondhand. He and his sister often had to busk to make money for the family. River grew up in a very poor family. River Jude Phoenix (August 23, 1970–October 31, 1993), born in Madras, Oregon, USA, was one of the most promising movie actors of his generation.
