Whatever happened to?

[Gamblor]

I'm getting ready to go out the bar on Friday night when my roommate wanders in with some friends from dinner.

He brings with him two guys; The first, kinda skinny looks like Art Garfunkel, and the second is a 5'9" fat guy, maybe 29-30, earring, athletic clothes, leather jacket. He's trashed. He's speaking semi-clearly, not overly wasted but still pretty drunk. He introduces himself as Corey, very nice guy, compliments me on my vintage 1980 Bluejays cap with the mesh back. Nice guy, really aggressive though, very in your face, but a good guy it appears.

He mentions something about a bar he was at once, I ask him where it is, and he explains that he lived in LA for a little bit. No biggie.

We chill, shoot the shit for a while and head downstairs for a cigarette before the bar. Corey and "Art" take a cab elsewhere, and roomie and I head downtown. We're sitting there, and he offhand mentions Corey who's having health problems due to old drug abuse problems.

I suggest that vacationing in LA might not be the best idea for someone in that spot.

"Oh, he wasn't vacationing there - he lived there for years."

"What?"

"I forgot to mention his last name; that was Corey Haim."

Mini biography

Canadian-born Haim broke into the Film industry in 1984 as a young child caught up in a family war in the hit movie Firstborn (1984). The following year he starred in the TV movie _A Time To Live (1985) (TV)_ , for which he received an award, and Silver Bullet (1985). _Lucas_(1986) , in which he starred alongside Charlie Sheen showed his ability, but was not a big hit.

In 1987 he had a breakthrough when he played one of the major roles in 'Joel Schumachers' ’s _Lost Boys (1987)_ , but his output during the nineties was disappointing. He hopes to turn his career around with two newly finished movies _Without Malice (2000)_ and _Universal Groove (2001)_ and there is a chance of a role in the much-rumoured ‘Lost Boys’ sequel.

The question is, though, whether he was engaged to her before or after the boob job.

Before. It was shortly after the movie they appeared in together and had a pretty hot sex scene in. Something like "Blow out", but obviosuly not the Travolta movie.
