Hollywood's child stars have sometimes met tragic and premature fates. Actors such as Stand By Me's River Phoenix, Descendants' Cameron Boyce, Poltergeist's Heather O'Rourke and Diff'rent Strokes' Dana Plato all died far too young, leaving fans heartbroken. Another name added to this heartbreaking list is Brad Renfro , who burst onto the scene at just 11 years old with a leading role in Joel Schumacher's American legal thriller The Client – alongside Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones.
