Corey Feldman—the child star of 80’s movies including Stand By Me, The Lost Boys, and The Goonies—is launching a $10 million crowdfunding campaign in order to create a documentary about his life that will include an exposé of the pedophilia he claims is an open secret in Hollywood.
Feldman has previously said that as a child he was preyed upon by older, powerful men in the entertainment industry. His late friend, the child star Corey Haim, was similarly targeted, he said.
“I’m not alone,” Feldman said in a video about the crowdfunding campaign. “I know there are thousands of others that have experienced what I have experienced in the entertainment industry. I also know that there are peers of mine who know exactly what I’m talking about and know all of the details but have been afraid to come forward with their own truths.”

Jim Nabors has died at the age of 87
Goodbye, Gomer.
Jim Nabors, who created one of TV’s beloved comedic characters, Gomer Pyle, died Thursday in Hawaii at the age of 87, reports Hawaii News Now and the Associated Press.
The Alabama native had a long career that featured TV and movie roles, more than two dozen albums and numerous concert appearances, including long-running shows in Las Vegas and Hawaii, the latter of which became his home in the 1970s. He received a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1991.
Nabors was best known for his role as the sweet, gentle Marine in the title role of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., a CBS comedy that was a top-five hit during its five-season run in the 1960s.
