They married on September 13, 1969, less than a year after meeting. While hitchhiking in California she met John Lee Bottom.
In 1968, Phoenix's mother travelled across the United States. His father was a lapsed Catholic from Fontana, California, of English, German, and French ancestry. His mother was born in New York to Jewish parents whose families had emigrated from Russia and Hungary.
In an interview with People, Phoenix described his parents as "hippieish". Phoenix's parents named him after the river of life from the Hermann Hesse novel Siddhartha, and he received his middle name from the Beatles' song "Hey Jude". Phoenix was born on Augin Madras, Oregon, the first child of Arlyn Dunetz and John Lee Bottom. At the time of his death, he was filming Dark Blood, which was released incomplete 19 years later, in 2012. Phoenix died of a drug overdose in West Hollywood in the early hours of Octoat age 23. For his performance in the latter, Phoenix garnered enormous praise and won a Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, along with Best Actor from the National Society of Film Critics. Phoenix made a transition into more adult-oriented roles with Running on Empty (1988), playing Danny Pope, the son of fugitive parents in a well-received performance that earned him a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and My Own Private Idaho (1991), playing a gay hustler Michael Waters in search of his estranged mother. He starred in the science fiction adventure film Explorers (1985) and had his first notable role in 1986's Stand by Me, a coming-of-age film based on the novella The Body by Stephen King. He began his acting career at age 10 in television commercials. He had no formal schooling, but showed an instinctive talent for the guitar. Phoenix grew up in an itinerant family, as older brother of Rain Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix, Liberty Phoenix, and Summer Phoenix. But I am the one to take the time and give him a tribute because he was so talented.īorn River Jude Bottom on August 23rd, 1970 om Madras, Oregon, and died Octo(aged 23) in West Hollywood, California, he was cremated and his remains scattered in Montezuma, Costa Rica.
