Corey Haim

Biography

Corey Haim was born in Toronto, Ontario, to Judy Haim, an Israeli-born data processor, and Bernie Haim, a Canadian-born clothing sales representative. He has a sister, Carol, and a half-brother, Daniel. His family is Jewish. Haim broke into the film industry in 1984, playing a young child caught up in a family war in the movie Firstborn (1984). The following year, he starred in the TV movie A Time to Live (1985), for which he received a Young Artist Award, and Silver Bullet (1985). Lucas (1986), in which he starred alongside Charlie Sheen, showed his acting abilities, but was not a big hit. In 1987, he had a breakthrough when he played one of the major roles in Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys (1987). He later starred in the films License to Drive (1988) and Dream a Little Dream (1989), but his output during the nineties onwards was disappointing. He died suddenly on March 10, 2010.
