River died in 1993 aged 23 of an overdose outside Johnny Depp's Hollywood Viper Room nightclub where he was to perform with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He first attracted attention in the films "Stand By Me" and "Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade." Canadian hockey legend Bobby Orr at age 42 reflects on his years with the Boston Bruins. He was the highest paid player in NHL history as a rookie and signed the first million dollar contract with the NHL. The Godfather of Shock Rock Alice Cooper (actually Vincent Damon Furnier) did everything he could to terrify parents worldwide with a macabre stage show that featured fake blood, electric chairs, boa constrictors and guillotines. He's "the world's most beloved heavy metal entertainer."
