Exceedingly rare borderless 8x10-inch color portrait, boldly signed in blue felt-tip ink in the late 1980s. From an excellent source, originally sold by Fraser's Autographs in the United Kingdom. In very fine condition. Tremendously talented child and juvenile actor River Phoenix died of a drug overdose at age 23 following a streak of hit movies like Explorers (1985), Stand by Me (1986), The Mosquito Coast (1986), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), and Running on Empty (1988), for which he was Oscar nominated.
