And that Cult Classic, Dennis Hopper co-wrote and directed, IMO - Nicholson stole the show....

Good clip TGW, I immediately thought of Easy rider when I heard the sad news and yes I agree Nicholson the Unknown made himself a star right there, I love an underdog though and I thought his portrayal of defiance against almost certain death in true romance was superb.

There are some clips of Dennis in a very sorry state on youtube but I'd rather remember him at his best, a somewhat underrated actor maybees but great none the less. Thanks for the clip mate.

he played a lot of roles in many movies. fond farewell to an easyrider.

[peasea]

Not a bad actor but as a director I think he did even better.

Hmmm, 74 years old and 5 marriages: I couldn't help thinking he was doing something wrong.....right up until I saw his current squeeze, now I reckon he might have been on to something.........

Sounds like he got it wrong again, according to this selection of reports (There's so many!!), from the last few months and beyond...

Yesterday it was reported he'd tried last week to block her out of his will.

I think he was awesome in Blue Velvet! Mind you...I am a true David Lynch fan...

Naa... 1 marriage over 40+ years is doing something wrong :laugh:

Yes very, poor bastard had prostate cancer.

[Conquiztador]

One of his marriages only lasted 8 hours. When asked how it was he replied: "The first 7 hours were not bad..."

[Mudfart]

yeah i heard prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women.
