ABC News (prin Reuters) raporteaza ca actorul nominalizat la Oscar, Dennis Hopper, a incetat din viata la varsta de 74 de ani.
Hopper a decedat datorita complicatiilor cancerului la prostata, sambata, la locuinta sa din Venica, California inconjurat de prieteni si familie.
Hopper a fost nominalizat la Oscar de doua ori: odata pentru scenariul la Easy Rider in 1970 si pentru Hoosiers in 1987.
Hopper s-a inbolnavit in luna septembrie, anul trecut, dar a continuat sa lucreze, la serialul de televiziune “Crash” si la o carte fotografica despre el. Ultima sa luna din viata si-a petrecut-o trecand printr-un divort cu cea de-a cincea nevasta, Victoria Duffy.
Hopper a jucat in filmele Cool Hand Luke, Easy Rider (care l-a si regizat), True Grit, Blue Velvet, True Romance, Speed, Land of the Dead, Hell Ride si multe altele.
Ultima sa aparitie a avut loc in filmul Swing Vote si in serialul de televiziune, de care am spus mai sus “Crash” si si-a imprumutat vocea unui personaj dintr-o animatie produsa de Lionsgate, Alpha and Omega.
In martie, al acestui an, Hopper a primit propria sa stea pe faimoasa Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Odihneasca-se in pace.
