From the Author
Six years in the making, this book is the product of many, many, personal
interviews, telephone calls, and e-mails with over fifty of River Phoenix's close
friends, fellow actors, directors, photographers, fellow cult members, drug
companions, lovers, and a few members of the Phoenix family. Their recollections
give us some profound insights into River's real life. I traveled thousands of miles to interview many people and to witness the
sounds and sights [and sites] that River Phoenix, himself, experienced.
I visited his birthplace in Metolius, Oregon, his homes and favorite haunts
in Gainesville and Micanopy, Florida, as well as film locations in Portland,
Oregon, and Nashville, Tennessee. In Montezuma, Costa Rica, I had an enjoyable
telephone conversation with his father. I visited San Francisco and Hollywood,
California, where I descended into the bowels of the Los Angeles city archives,
five stories below the street.
River has become more popular now than when he was a celluloid presence.
This complex person calls from beyond the grave to say, "There was more to me
than Hollywood."
The book is built from research in: over four hundred newspaper and magazine articles; fifty-four
television shows, specials, documentaries, movies, and videos; twenty-two books; Internet sites and the recordings of more than fifty songs from around the world.
I must also recognize the work of fellow authors who previously wrote about
River: Grace Catalano, Brian J. Robb, Penelope Dening, Penny Stempel, John
Barker, and John Glatt. Their writing has inspired me, and they were invaluable
references in the creation of this book.
The real names of people and places are used in this book. In most cases,
people I interviewed have approved what is written about them; a few asked
that their identities be changed, and I have complied with their requests. I have
also changed some names in order to protect innocent children. This in no way
affects the accuracy of the story of River Phoenix's complex and fascinating life.This book is not about the death of River Phoenix. It is a compilation of my
search for the truth: a chronology and a correction of the record. It is a celebration
of all the aspects of his human life.
Ethan Hawke who told me, "Write a good book!"
From the Back Cover
"Barry Lawrence said he wanted to
write every true thing he could
discover about River Phoenix. He
was persistent and thorough. His
devotion and research have been
extraordinary. This book will be of
great value to the memory of River,
and helpful to all those who want
to know more about him. And, I think
River would like it very much."
William Richert
"Barry has not only wanted to give
us 'the facts', but to involve us with
the human being to whom the facts
applied." Edward Correll, Jr., editor
"Barry, that's good. I like the
chapter [11]. I do agree with Udo--
what he says in the end [about the
question of River possibly being
gay]. The whole thing has an
amazing effect on popular culture."
Gus Van Sant
"There is a whole new generation
out there who need to know him."
Father Stephen Wood
"I think it is more important to talk
about River Phoenix than not to
talk about him." Edo Kier
"He had the world by the ass. No
telling what he could have
accomplished."
Captain Ray Riber
The internationally-broadcast A&E
Biography show on River Phoenix
was based, in part, on material
provided by the author of this book.
William Richert's foreword was
included in a 2003-released collection
of the greatest eulogies ever written.
"River challenged you in your
dream--write my story and tell the
truth. You have done justice to his
story. You have written a fabulous
book." Marge Wilson, Publisher
About the Author
Barry C. Lawrence, was incidentally present on the set of River Phoenix's first theatrical
film, Explorers [filmed in Petaluma]. He remembers seeing River with his two
young co-stars, Ethan Hawke and Jason Presson. However, as with a surprising
number of Phoenix fans, he did not develop an interest in the actor until after
his death. When that interest led him to research and write this book, he brought
to the task talents developed and sharpened in an already-established career as a
writer, speaker, and teacher.
A native and resident of California, Lawrence has degrees from
Santa Rosa Junior College and Sonoma State University. His studies in speech
and the dramatic arts led to a college level teaching credential. An aeronautics
expert, he has taught aviation courses at Santa Rosa Junior College and
Mendocino Community College. He is a licensed commercial pilot, a flight
instructor, and for eleven years, he was a Test Examiner for the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Lawrence's graduate studies in the field of viticulture, taken at the
University of California have led him him teaching wine-making courses,
wine education, and the history of wine in various venues. He has spoken to
The Dionysian Wine Society, the Greater Washington, D.C. Wine School, and
the American Wine Society, as well as to six World Conferences of the
International Society of Wine Educators. He has also served as travel guide for
the World Conference of Knights of The Vine.
A professional wine judge, he also is an accomplished writer, published in
national magazines and has written about wine for Vine Times magazine.
He has lectured to MENSA, to the Lions, Elks, and Rotary Clubs, and
at the International Teaching English as a Foreign Language [TEFL] School
[ITC] in Prague, Czech Republic. Moreover, he is the first westerner to lecture
at the Progenitor University in the People's Republic of China.
Lawrence's accomplishments have earned him a listing in Who's Who in
California.

A pedophile's obsession--in book form
By Just_me
Someone else wrote a similar comment--noting some eerily pedophiliac vibes. Yes, this book is very well-researched, and for the obsessed and rabid fan, this will be a gem to have and to hold---but let's take a look at the author's history and stylings--supposedly obsessed with River since he saw him as a little boy on the set of Explorers--nothing his magic-like presence--He became enthralled after River's death--arguably stalking friends, co-workers, family members and associates until some let him into their lives and retold their accounts. However, it was a love letter--an homage--an obsession. See it for yourself--don't look at it from the obsessed fan's perspective--Look at it like I did, from the perspective of a person who was a fan of River's later work and humanitarian endeavors--You will notice a lot of focus on the younger photos--the pretty boy poses---- The true fans who appreciate his artistic efforts should stay away from this book. Instead, focus on his body of work---and if a book SHOULD be written, let it be written about his method of acting and his unique, powerful character.

good for a fan
By lydia
I had mixed feelings about the book. On the one hand River Phoenix is a fascinating person. You can't go wrong and I loved reading about him. That beings aid, the book was very long (I normally read a book every 2 or 3 days. This took a week and a half!) And repetitive. A lot of information was repeated. He had lots if quotes from lots of people, great, but he'd have basically the same story from multiple sources, overkill. I enjoyed immensely reading about the awesome RP and people close to him and who worked with him, but I also got bored easily with the redundancy.
