Well this sucks,an absolute icon and one of the last true legends of the cinema.

For a good insight of his madness check out this.

There is a good portion of it decicated to a movie he filmed in Australia and the antics he got up to,fecking legend.

RIP.

RIP Dennis. Great actor. One of my favourite films is True Romance even though he only played a small role in it he did an amazing job.

Was always a fan of DH. Just got me a copy of True Romance to watch later.

As Jazzy would say. RIP in Peace.

Where were ya when you saw influential films by him?

I saw Easy Rider in my youth no doubt in a free gaff probably late 80's.

Blue Velvet I saw in the then Fairview Cinema, I'd reckon early 90's. Having just dropped heard the song Lucy in the sky with diamonds...:cool:

A brilliant, intense and truly gifted actor... One of the wildest of the wild men of Hollywood excess and a huge loss to the acting world...

Absolutely.
I would have loved to read his autobiography.

You know you can still read it after he's died

except for the bitter divorce from his wife as he was declining:(

Hopper was a man's man. They don't make 'em like him and Clint anymore.

For someone who wasn't a leading actor, he certainly played a lot of memorable roles.
