LOS ANGELES -- Actor Dennis Hopper died at his home inVenice Beach Saturday morning from complications of prostate cancer, according to a family friend.
Hopper died at 8:15 a.m. and was surrounded by his family and friends, said the friend, Alex Hitz. He was 74.
The actor was rushed to the hospital in New York in September 2009 for an unspecified condition and released after receiving treatment for dehydration.
Then, in October 2009, Hopper's manager revealed that the actor had advanced prostate cancer. In January 2010, it was reported that Hopper's cancer had metastasized to his bones.
See ya down the road pal, you were talented, a real character, and you will be missed.
Thank you for reading this blog.
Dennis Hopper was an interesting character. An actor and a very literary man (rare to find these days). He was an astute observer of the human condition and you'd never really know it unless you spoke with him at length. His acumen scared many Hollywood types who feared that sort of insight.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that he died.
Well I never spoke to him at all, so I will take your word for it. I always liked his acting and had a feeling he was an interesting cat. He pretty much kept his republican leanings a secret, although he went over the cliff in supporting Obama. May be he needed the work.
