Abstract

This article explores the seemingly oxymoronic figure of the homeless celebrity through a case study of ex-child star Corey Haim. It argues that the homeless celebrity demands a reconsideration of the traditional coupling of ‘fame’ and ‘fortune’ in light of what Graeme Turner has dubbed celebrity's ‘demotic turn’.
