Comeback King Corey Feldman was an integral thread in three of the movies that indelibly shaped my childhood in the 80’s: ‘Stand By Me‘, ‘Gremlins’ and ‘The Goonies’. Whether it was a misfit, an achingly-average kid, or a sly-tongued wisecracker, Feldman stole every movie in which he appeared. His rocky way out of child-stardom is the stuff of grace and majesty, a trajectory that continues to this day as he has repeatedly reinvented himself (see his website here for all that’s currently happening). He’s earned this Dazzler of the Day for providing the cornerstone of my childhood entertainment experience – and showing all of us how to grow up while keeping a youthful heart.
