Born July 16, 1971, in Los Angeles, Feldman began acting at age five. By the early ’80s he was a fixture on television and in film; in 1985’s The Goonies he cemented his status with a generation of moviegoers. Beyond Hollywood, he’s released original music, including a planned June 22 single tribute to The Beatles.
With Monday Memories, Feldman combines his passion for storytelling and history, inviting followers to relive candid moments with figures who shaped entertainment. From pop royalty to action stars and legendary filmmakers, the series offers a snapshot of a life spent on set, backstage and in the spotlight.
As the post concludes, Feldman reminds fans that “everybody is a star in their own way,” a sentiment he shares through each memory. By revisiting these snapshots, he not only celebrates the stars he’s met but also underscores the enduring power of shared experiences across Hollywood’s ever-changing landscape.
