      Feldman and Haim were child actors during the 1980s; the two were close friends. Both of them grew up in Jewish families.[1][2] The Two Coreys appeared in a total of nine films together, including The Lost Boys (1987).[3]

      Becoming a brand, The Two Coreys achieved mainstream fame and notoriety as teen idols, but each later experienced a career downturn due to drug use.[4]

      The Two Coreys, a reality show about the two actors, aired on the A&E Network from 2007 to 2008.[5]

      Following a long battle with drug addiction, Haim died of pneumonia in 2010.[6]

      In 2020, Feldman released My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys. The documentary explores the friendship between The Two Coreys and asserts that both were sexually abused as children in the entertainment industry.[7][8][9]
