Long Time No See Martha Plimpton River Phoenix Strike

MARTHA PLIMPTON: LONG TIME NO SEE!

Martha Plimpton was a hot commodity as a rebellious teen in the 80’s. The Goonies made her a star and the late River Phoenix was her boyfriend for a few years. She’s had a busy career on stage and screen since then, but we don’t see her a lot of her because she lives part-time in London. Longtime activist Martha DID show up with her two adorable dogs to picket Warner Brothers yesterday with other SAG-AFTRA strikers. AND she has a new miniseries for HBO called The Regime, coming out in 2024. No doubt she’s home celebrating today because the strike is OVER!!!

LAST CHANCE TO SEE RIVER PHOENIX

#riverphoenix #janetcharlton

Fans of the late River Phoenix might be surprised to learn that the last movie he made is about to be released. River famously and tragically overdosed 19 years ago outside Johnny Depp’s Viper Room at the age of 23. The movie he had been filming, “Dark Blood,” was 80% finished. The Dutch director, George Sluizer, who is now 80, finally pulled the movie together with voice-overs to fill in the blanks. It’s described as the story of a young widower (Phoenix) who exiles himself to the desert where he encounters two Hollywood actors (Judy Davis and Jonathan Pryce) on a romantic getaway. Variety praised River’s performance in the movie, which debuted at the Netherlands Film Festival in September.
