What a great interview last night Marsh 10, 2010 that Larry King held with Corey Feldman about his close friend Corey Haim death. Please take a second to watch this video and read more to see what the New York Daily news reported.

“I would like to see Hollywood pay their respects,” Feldman said. “Hopefully he’s going to be remembered as a beautiful, funny, enigmatic character who brought nothing but life and lights and entertainment and art to all of our lives.”

“Where were all these people the last 10 years, the last 15 years, of Corey’s life,” Feldman, 38, asked. “Where were all these people to lend a handout, to reach out to him and say, you’re a legend, you’re an amazingly talented wonderful person who’s never really gone out of his way to hurt anyone, other than himself?”

“In this entertainment industry, in Hollywood, we build people up as children, we put them on pedestals, and then, when we decide they’re not marketable anymore, we walk away from them,” he added. “Then we taunt them and we tease them … It’s okay for society as a whole to poke fun at, to point fingers at, us as human beings. Why is it okay to kick somebody when they’re down? I don’t think it should be tolerated anymore.”

New York Daily News Reported:

Though Corey Feldman is deeply appreciative of the outpouring of condolences from his Hollywood peers following the death of his longtime friend, Corey Haim, he is also “angry, hurt and sad.”

Feldman and Haim gained notable success as child stars, however as both actors grew older, they quickly faced the harsh reality that they were no longer marketable in the eyes of Hollywood.

They both struggled with drugs, but Feldman said, Haim had a tougher time getting sober. According to Feldman, when the late actor finally got his act together, “there was no one there to pull him up.”

Though he described Haim’s history of substance abuse as “long and detailed,” Feldman doesn’t want to jump to conclusions until the coroner’s report is released.

He said that Haim had recently begun seeing a treatment specialist and was taking new drugs that “might not have corresponded properly with the medications he was currently taking.”

Though plans for a funeral service have yet to be made, Feldman said that he and Haim’s family want to plan a “sizable memorial.”
