Dennis Hopper passed on at the age of 74 and will be missed! Some favorites include: <br>1967 Cool Hand Luke,<br>1968 Hang Em High,<br>1969 Easy Rider,<br>1969 True Grit, <br>1979 Apocalypse Now,<br>1994 Speed,<br>1995 Waterworld.... Most probably already know but I thought I would post anyway.
One of the true greats in film....RIP Mr. Hopper.
Dennis was "my man", loved this guy. His characters were so unique.From his "Feck Weed" in River's Edge to his "Where's My Bourbon, B*tch?" lines in Blue Velvet, I loved everything about them.<br>R.I.P.
Sadly missed one of my fav actors a real cool cat.<br><br>

Like him in movies.....Easy Rider.......I think he drank himself to death though. My wife said she saw something today on him and he consumed some hellacious amounts of alcohol each and every day. She said you would not recognize him as of late. I know he had prostate cancer and was divorcing too. I think the drugs and alcohol just made things worse.
Hossiers was my favorite, I think he nailed that character because he WAS that character!!
He sure lived life as one huge party...good for him!<br><br>R.I.P. Dennis...you rocked!<br>

Thanks, Anita... how you do dat??
Look for him in two of James Dean's films---REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and GIANT. He quickly pissed off Hollywood so he ended up on quite a few TV shows, my favs being his many appearances on early episodes of THE RIFLEMAN, one of which that was directed by Sam Peckinpah---TB
Know your Beatles albums? John Lennon has said that he credits a drug-induced Hopper with the line "I know what it is to be dead" for the song SHE SAID SHE SAID on 1966's REVOLVER.
<br>Yeah, I heard the Man hasn't been well,and this is sadly expected.<br><br>What can we say..Rebel,Giant, Moon in True Grit,Cool Hand Luke, (Remember him doing the prayer,and then opening up the steeple?..lol) He pretty much stole Apocalypse Now..<br> <strong>"One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics"</strong>. <br><br>Blue Velvet as the wicked and whacked Frank Booth...<br><br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000454/"><strong><font color="#800080">Frank Booth</font></strong></a>: Hey you wanna go for a ride? <br><b><a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001492/"><font color="#003399">Jeffrey Beaumont</font></a></b>: No thanks. <br><b><a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000454/"><font color="#800080">Frank Booth</font></a></b>: No thanks?
