Obviously, acting was in Martha's blood, as was a tomboy persona. She's the daughter of Keith Carradine, which makes her niece to David Carradine and granddaughter to John Carradine, who made his film debut in 1930. If you thought Josh Brolin and Sean Astin had impressive bloodlines, Martha Plimpton's Hollywood pedigree goes back nearly 80 years. Diane Lane has gone on to "American Gangster," "W.," and "Milk," garnering an Oscar nomination and numerous awards.

Then came "No Country for Old Men," and his blip was active again. Brolin played Wild Bill Hickok, who would've never let his little brother tie him up in exercise equipment.Īlthough Brolin's worked consistently since "The Goonies," he pretty much flew under the radar from 1992 to 2007. The prominent role jump-started the young actor's career, leading to a three-season run on "The Young Riders" with Stephen Baldwin.

Like his onscreen sibling, Josh too had stardom in his veins, as the son of TV and film veteran James Brolin (and future stepson to Barbra Streisand). Despite bad reviews and worse sales, a rumored "Lost Boys 3" is due next year.īrand Walsh, Mikey's older and overbearing brother (who nonetheless joins the quest), was the first major gig for Josh Brolin. Last year Feldman starred in the straight-to-DVD sequel "Lost Boys: The Tribe" Haim surfaced in the end credits. After a battle with drugs and some not-so-well received films, he turned to music, releasing a few albums with his band, Truth Movement, then went on to re-establish himself via the reality-TV circuit with old pal Haim ("The Two Coreys"). After "The Goonies" came "The 'Burbs" with Tom Hanks, "Stand by Me" with Wil Wheaton and River Phoenix, and "The Lost Boys," which teamed him with the other Corey (Haim) for the first time.Ĭorey started the '90s with a "Kowabunga!" bang as the voice of Donatello in the live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." But the rest of the decade was something of a bummer. The 14-year-old Feldman was already a show biz vet by the time he brought Clark "Mouth" Devereaux to life, from his humble beginnings in a McDonald's commercial at age 3 to countless appearances on TV shows like "Mork & Mindy" and "Eight Is Enough," through the films "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" and "Gremlins." But this was just the beginning. Most recently Sean appeared in "Stay Cool," a story about revisiting the past, with Winona Ryder and Jon Cryer. Now he's remembered as Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins' gardener and companion on a deadly quest even One-Eyed Willy would've declined. So it came as no surprise when the teenager embarked on his own acting career and was cast in "The Goonies," his first feature, as Mikey Walsh, an asthmatic kid who encourages his friends to join him on his quest for One-Eyed Willy and a hidden treasure to help save his coastal town.Įven though Sean built an impressive post-"Goonies" resume (including a memorable turn as the title character in 1993's "Rudy"), he was pretty much remembered for Mikey Walsh until 2001, when the first chapter in the massively successful "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy hit the big screen. His mom was Patty Duke ("The Miracle Worker") and his stepdad was John Astin ("The Addams Family"). And although we were saddened that the reunion was in no way an indication or announcement of an upcoming sequel (although rumors are flying about a Broadway musical version?!), it got us wondering what the Goonies, who never say die, are up to now. During the interview Donner described the film as the "best experience I've ever had in my life." Coming from the dude who made "Superman" and "Lethal Weapon," that's pretty huge. Everyone was there, and even producer Steven Spielberg and director Richard Donner joined in. It wasn't their first get-together since the movie's wrap - they all reunited for a DVD commentary in 2001 - but they gathered once more for a trip down memory lane.
