8852 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood. On October 31, 1993, on the sidewalk in front of the Viper Room (a cult nightclub, meeting place for many Hollywood stars), one of the most promising actors of his generation died at the age of just 23: River Phoenix. His sudden and tragic death profoundly shocked public opinion.
