Remember the ’90s Cult Classic Empire Records? Here’s What the Cast Looks Like Today

Corey was the sweet overachiever of Empire Records — smart, driven, and secretly crumbling under the pressure to be perfect. She spent the day oscillating between pep talks, meltdowns, and a desperate crush on Rex Manning, showing how fragile the “perfect girl” mask could be when everything went off the rails.

Liv Tyler brought a soft, luminous energy to Corey, making her one of the most sympathetic characters. It was one of Tyler’s earliest major roles, and it showed off the mix of vulnerability and quiet strength that would carry her through a long Hollywood career.
