The Goonies castmates Sean Astin and Corey Feldman pay tribute to their director Richard Donner, remembered as a “real-life Superman.” The Donners’ Company, the production company the Superman: The Movie and Lethal Weapon filmmaker founded with his wife and producing partner Lauren Shuler Donner, confirmed the news of Donner’s death on Monday. He was 91. Astin and Feldman, who starred together in the beloved 1985 adventure comedy as Mikey and Mouth, respectively, took to social media to pay tribute to the “incredible director and storyteller.”
Richard Donner had the biggest, boomiest voice you could imagine.He commanded attention and he laughed like no man has ever laughed before. Dick was so much fun. What I perceived in him, as a 12 year old kid, is that he cared. I love how much he cared.
