When Chris Farley was found dead of an overdose in Chicago in 1997, there was a nearly universal outpouring of grief.
Farley was at the edge of superstardom for his over-the-top physical comedy. And his death stunned his fans – from those who knew him through Second City to “Saturday Night Live” to a series of successful movies paired with David Spade and other “SNL” alums.
Now, a new documentary, “I am Chris Farley,” talks to his friends and family about the larger-than-life star – a sweet, tragic and funny remembrance for the man who was just 33 when he was found dead in his condo at the John Hancock.
