brad renfro was one of my daughters friends, when he was still in knoxville.he was not a bad kid, very nice kid. it is a shame what usually happens to child actors when they grow up. do you remember that susan saranden took him under wing to hel him,well where was she when he started getting in trouble? also i will never forget what sha said about our city. "knoxville is a dirty little hick town" i just hate that brad got caught up in all the hollywood lifestyle. i know at one point he was trying to turn his life around. but the kidds that knew him here, he will be sadly missed. another life gone to early.
