Where are they now? Kelly LeBrock

Okay, so many of my younger readers probably won't have a clue who Kelly LeBrock is but those of you who are my age and older certainly will. Do you remember that incredible teen movie Weird Science (1985)? Well, Kelly was the actress who played the woman the two guys 'created'.

I remember, even back then when I was just ten years old, wishing I was as beautiful as she was. With such beauty, it was no surprise that her career began in the modelling industry in New York when she was just 16.  She appeared in many campaigns including an exclusive one for Christian Dior. She became quite well known as a spokesperson for Pantene with the catchphrase 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful'. Apparently, she was one of Eileen Ford's most sought after models.

Her big movie break came when she was cast in Woman in Red in 1986, a hilarious comedy with Gene Wilder. This was followed by Weird Science, then Hard to Kill with Steven Seagal. She also appeared in Betrayal of the Dove (1993), Tracks of a Killer (1995), and Hard Bounty (1995). More recently she had roles in the films The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2002), Zerophilia (2005) and Gamers: The Movie (2006).
On TV, she's also been on Celebrity Fit Club in 2005 and the UK's Hell's Kitchen.
Lately though, Kelly has been dedicating her time to the terminally ill, following the death of her brother in 2008.
Kelly is also a spokesperson for homeopathic medicine, frequently giving lectures on the subject.

Where are they now: Corey Haim

 When I was a kid, I was totally in love with the actor Corey Haim. He was so cute and adorable and even more so with his braces. Imagine my sadness when he passed away. I was heartbroken... even though I'd not really seen much of him since his childhood days, when he featured in lots of super cute movies. My favourite, of course, was The Lost Boys, one of the best vampire movies ever made. It also had the smoking hot Jason Patric who played his older brother, and probably the sexiest looking vampire in town, Kiefer Sutherland.
Another of his movies which I adored was called Lucas, and was about a boy who loves a girl who loves someone else. It also featured Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder. Every time I hear a locust, or see them on TV, I'm reminded of Corey. If you've seen the movie, you'll know what I mean!
Before Corey died, it was reported in the press that he had become a drug addict at 15, something that seems to happen a lot to child stars, which is heart breaking. Apparently, he entered rehab 15 times throughout his short life.
In 2007, he starred alongside his childhood buddy, Corey Feldman, in a reality show aptly named The Two Coreys. However, Corey Haim relapsed and his friendship with Feldman deteriorated. But they did reconcile before Haim died of pneumonia in 2010, aged just 38 years old.
