Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were popular ’80s actors, who appeared in movies such as Goonies, Lucas, and The Lost Boys. The two became friends and teen idols before succumbing to drugs and other temptations in Hollywood. They joined forces for a reality show The Two Coreys in 2006.

The A&E series didn’t last very long. After just two seasons, Feldman quit the program because he could no longer deal with Haim, who was deeply addicted to drugs and alcohol. The network canceled the show in 2008, and Haim died of pneumonia in 2010. He had an enlarged heart and water in his lungs, common indicators of drug abuse.
