Can a mother's love transcend even death? Arlyn "Heart" Phoenix's poignant remembrance of her late son, River Phoenix, on what would have been his 53rd birthday, serves as a powerful testament to the enduring bond between a mother and her child.
The actress and activist, best known as the matriarch of the Phoenix acting dynasty, marked the occasion with a heartfelt tribute, underscoring the profound impact River's life and untimely passing have had on her. Arlyn Sharon Dunetz, now in her late 70s, continues to champion the causes close to her heart, mirroring the passionate spirit that defined her son's life. The 'Joker' actor's parents met by chance.
