Say it isn't so ... Another young actor is dead; never having had the opportunity to really fulfill his potential.
Discovered at age 10 by director Joel Schumacher, Brad Renfro was cast in his first movie, The Client, where he was immediately thrust into the Hollywood limelight, which began his downward spiral into the drug scene.
When you look at what is happening with Britany Spears, and now Brad Renfro, all I keep thinking is this: What is it about the Hollywood machine that continually seems to eat these young stars up then spit them out, without any regard for them as human beings?
Of course, there's no question about the fact that they are responsible for the choices they make in life, but who is teaching them how to make smart decisions?
Something needs to change, and it needs to change now, or we will continue to see devastating stories such as this one on a regular basis.
To Brad's family, and his closest friends, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you right now.
Sincerely,
Sharon
