"For moviegoers of a certain age, child star Corey Feldman has remained an object of endless fascination. From early roles in " Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter," "Gremlins," and "The Goonies" to his collaborations with Corey Haim in "The Lost Boys," "License to Drive," and "Dream a Little Dream," he was ubiquitous in theaters and on cable TV in the 1980s - Jordan Peele called him one of the greatest teen icons of all time."
"but in the 1990s and beyond he became known less for his talent as a thespian than for his bizarre forays into pop music and for "Corey's Angels," a group of attractive young women who lived in his house and served as his backup band. Feldman claimed they were aspiring actors and singers he was supporting; to the outside world it sometimes looked as though Feldman was exploiting them or even serving as a kind of amateur cult leader."
Corey Feldman rose to prominence as an ubiquitous 1980s child star with roles in Gremlins, The Goonies, and collaborations with Corey Haim in The Lost Boys and License to Drive. As an adult he struggled with addiction and alleged childhood abuse, resulting in intermittent acting work and tabloid notoriety. In the 1990s and beyond he pursued pop music and formed "Corey's Angels," a group of young women who lived in his house and served as his backup band, which some perceived as exploitative or cultlike. Marcie Hume filmed Feldman for about a year, producing an intimate, often funny but troubling documentary that probes celebrity, power, money, sex, and abuse.
