River Phoenix's death seems tragic still - a young actor just growing into his abilities, seemingly destroyed by the pressures of fame.
Coming to prominence with a corking performance in Stand By Me, Phoenix added a touch of vulnerabilty to every character he inhabited even the male prostitute in My Own Private Idaho.
Seeing the actor his brother Joaquin (Leaf) has blossomed into makes me wonder all the more what he could have become.
