‘He was such a beacon of light and uplifting, generous and caring - the kind of person everybody in the world would want as a best friend’ … Brandon Lee in The Crow

Jeff Most remembers the last time he saw Brandon Lee alive. “I was in my office on Carolco lot in Wilmington and I was on the phone,” he says. “Brandon was in this white shirt and he walked by and he was waving to me through the window.

“I held the phone down for a second and waved back and it was like, ‘Yeah, we’re not waving goodbye!’ I literally said to the person on the phone it’s so bizarre, Brandon is waving to me like he’s waving goodbye but he knows he’s got another two weeks of shooting to go.”
