Dennis Lee Hopper (May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010) was an American
actor, filmmaker, photographer and artist. He attended the Actors
Studio, made his first television appearance in 1954, and soon after
appeared alongside
James Dean

James Dean in
Rebel Without a Cause

Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and
Giant (1956). In the next ten years he made a name in television, and
by the end of the 1960s had appeared in several films. Hopper also
began a prolific and acclaimed photography career in the 1960s.[1]
Hopper made his directorial film debut with
Easy Rider

Easy Rider (1969), which
he and co-star
Peter Fonda

Peter Fonda wrote with Terry Southern. The film earned
Hopper a
Cannes Film Festival

Cannes Film Festival Award for "Best First Work" and a
nomination for the
Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay

Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay (shared
with Fonda and Southern). Journalist Ann Hornaday wrote: "With its
portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the
uptight middle-class hypocrisies,
Easy Rider

Easy Rider became the cinematic
symbol of the 1960s, a celluloid anthem to freedom, macho bravado and
anti-establishment rebellion".[2] Film critic
Matthew Hays says that,
"no other persona better signifies the lost idealism of the 1960s than
that of Dennis Hopper".[3]
He worked on various small projects until he found new fame for his
role as the American photojournalist in
Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now (1979). He went
on to helm his third directorial work Out of the Blue (1980), for
which he was again honored at Cannes, and appeared in Rumble Fish
(1983) and The Osterman Weekend (1983). He saw a career resurgence in
1986 when he was widely acclaimed for his performances in Blue Velvet
and Hoosiers, the latter of which saw him nominated for the Academy
Award for Best Supporting Actor. His fourth directorial outing came
about through Colors (1988), followed by an Emmy-nominated lead
performance in
Paris Trout (1991). Hopper found even greater fame for
portraying the villains of the films Super Mario Bros. (1993), Speed
(1994) and
Waterworld

Waterworld (1995).
Hopper's later work included a leading role in the short-lived
television series Crash (2008–2009), inspired by the Academy
Award-winning film of the same name. Production on his final film, The
Last Film Festival (2016), completed just before his death; originally
slated for 2011 distribution,[1] the project was picked up for
theatrical release in late 2016 by Monterey Home Video.[4] Hopper has
an additional posthumous credit in the completed, but unreleased Orson
Welles drama The Other Side of the Wind, acquired for distribution by
Netflix.[5][6]

Early life[edit]
Hopper was born on May 17, 1936, in Dodge City, Kansas, the son of
Marjorie Mae (née Davis; July 12, 1917 – January 12, 2007)[7][8]
and James Millard Hopper[9] (June 23, 1916 – August 7, 1982).[7] He
had Scottish ancestors.[10] Hopper had two brothers, Marvin and
David.[11]
After World War II, the family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where
the young Hopper attended Saturday art classes at the Kansas City Art
Institute. At the age of 13, Hopper and his family moved to San Diego,
where his mother worked as a lifeguard instructor and his father was a
post office manager (Hopper has acknowledged, though, that his father
was in the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the Central
Intelligence Agency, in China with[clarification needed] Mao
Zedong).[12] Hopper was voted most likely to succeed at Helix High
School, where he was active in the drama club, speech and choir.[13]
It was there that he developed an interest in acting, studying at the
Old Globe Theatre

Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, and the
Actors Studio

Actors Studio in New York City
(he studied with
Lee Strasberg

Lee Strasberg for five years). Hopper struck up a
friendship with actor Vincent Price, whose passion for art influenced
Hopper's interest in art. He was especially fond of the plays of
William Shakespeare.
Career[edit]
Film[edit]
Hopper was reported to have an uncredited role in
Johnny Guitar

Johnny Guitar in
1954 but he has stated that he was not even in
Hollywood

Hollywood when this
film was made.[14] Hopper made his debut on film in two roles with
James Dean

James Dean (whom he admired immensely) in
Rebel Without a Cause

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
and Giant (1956). Dean's death in a 1955 car accident affected the
young Hopper deeply and it was shortly afterwards that he got into a
confrontation with veteran director
Henry Hathaway

Henry Hathaway on the film From
Hell to Texas. Hopper forced Hathaway to shoot more than 80 takes of a
scene over several days before he acquiesced to Hathaway's direction.
After filming was finally completed, Hathaway allegedly told Hopper
that his career in
Hollywood

Hollywood was finished.[15]
In his book Last Train to Memphis, American popular music historian
Peter Guralnick says that in 1956, when
Elvis Presley
.png/46px-Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_(ribbon).png)
Elvis Presley was making his
first film in Hollywood, Hopper was roommates with fellow actor Nick
Adams and the three became friends and socialized together. In 1959
Hopper moved to New York to study
Method acting

Method acting under
Lee Strasberg

Lee Strasberg at
the Actors Studio.[16] In 1961, Hopper played his first lead role in
Night Tide, an atmospheric supernatural thriller involving a mermaid
in an amusement park.
In a December 1994 interview on the Charlie Rose Show, Hopper credited
John Wayne

John Wayne with saving his career, as Hopper acknowledged that because
of his insolent behavior, he could not find work in
Hollywood

Hollywood for
seven years. Hopper stated that because he was the son-in-law of
actress Margaret Sullavan, a friend of John Wayne, Wayne hired Hopper
for a role in
The Sons of Katie Elder

The Sons of Katie Elder (1965), also directed by
Hathaway, which enabled Hopper to restart his film career.[17] Hopper
acted in another
John Wayne

John Wayne film, True Grit (1969), and during its
production he became well acquainted with Wayne. In both of the films
with Wayne, Hopper's character is killed in the presence of Wayne's
character, to whom he utters his dying words.
Hopper in
Easy Rider

Easy Rider wearing then radical long hair and mustache
Hopper had a supporting role as the bet-taker, "Babalugats", in Cool
Hand Luke (1967). In 1968, Hopper teamed with Peter Fonda, Terry
Southern and
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson to make Easy Rider, which premiered in
July 1969. With the release of True Grit a month earlier, Hopper had
starring roles in two major box office films that summer. Hopper won
wide acclaim as the director for his improvisational methods and
innovative editing for Easy Rider.[18] The production was plagued by
creative differences and personal acrimony between Fonda and Hopper,
the dissolution of Hopper's marriage to Hayward, his unwillingness to
leave the editor's desk and his accelerating abuse of drugs and
alcohol.[19] Hopper said of Easy Rider: "The cocaine problem in the
United States is really because of me. There was no cocaine before
Easy Rider

Easy Rider on the street. After Easy Rider, it was everywhere".[20]
Besides showing drug use on film, it was the first film to portray the
new hippie lifestyle. Hopper became a stereotype for some male youths
who rejected traditional jobs and traditional American culture, partly
exemplified by Fonda's long sideburns and Hopper wearing
shoulder-length hair and a long mustache. They were denied rooms in
motels and proper service in restaurants as a result of their radical
looks.[21] Their long hair became a point of contention in various
scenes during the film.[21]
Hopper was unable to capitalize on his
Easy Rider

Easy Rider success for several
years. In 1970 he filmed The Last Movie, cowritten by Stewart Stern
and photographed by Laszlo Kovacs in Peru, and completed production in
1971. It won the prestigious CIDALC Award at that year's Venice Film
Festival, but Universal Studios leaders expected a blockbuster like
Easy Rider, and did not like the film or give it an enthusiastic
release, while American film audiences found it confounding - as
convoluted as an abstract painting. On viewing the first release
print, fresh from the lab, in his screening room at Universal, MCA
founder Jules Stein rose from his chair and said, "I just don't
understand this younger generation." [22] During the tumultuous
editing process, Hopper ensconced himself at the Mabel Dodge Luhan
House in Taos, New Mexico, which he had purchased in 1970,[23] for
almost an entire year. In between contesting Fonda's rights to the
majority of the residual profits from Easy Rider, he married Michelle
Phillips in October 1970.
Hopper was able to sustain his lifestyle and a measure of celebrity by
acting in numerous low budget and European films throughout the 1970s
as the archetypal "tormented maniac", including
Mad Dog Morgan

Mad Dog Morgan (1976),
Tracks (1976), and
The American Friend

The American Friend (1977). With Francis Ford
Coppola's blockbuster
Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now (1979), Hopper returned to
prominence as a hyper-manic Vietnam-era photojournalist. Stepping in
for an overwhelmed director, Hopper won praise in 1980 for his
directing and acting in Out of the Blue. Immediately thereafter,
Hopper starred as an addled short-order cook "Cracker" in the Neil
Young/
Dean Stockwell

Dean Stockwell low-budget collaboration Human Highway.
Production was reportedly often delayed by his unreliable behavior.
Peter Biskind states in the New
Hollywood

Hollywood history Easy Riders, Raging
Bulls that Hopper's cocaine intake had reached three grams a day by
this time, complemented by 30 beers, and some marijuana and Cuba
libres.
After staging a "suicide attempt" (really more of a daredevil act) in
a coffin using 17 sticks of dynamite during an "art happening" at the
Rice University

Rice University Media Center (filmed by professor and documentary
filmmaker Brian Huberman),[24] and later disappearing into the Mexican
desert during a particularly extravagant bender, Hopper entered a drug
rehabilitation program in 1983.
Though Hopper gave critically acclaimed performances in Coppola's
Rumble Fish

Rumble Fish (1983) and Sam Peckinpah's The Osterman Weekend (1983), it
was not until he portrayed the gas-huffing, obscenity-screaming iconic
villain Frank Booth in David Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986) that his
career truly revived. On reading the script Hopper said to Lynch: "You
have to let me play Frank Booth. Because I am Frank Booth!"[25] He won
critical acclaim and several awards for this role, and in the same
year received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting
Actor

Actor for his
role as an alcoholic assistant basketball coach in Hoosiers. In 1988,
he directed Colors, a critically acclaimed police procedural about
gang violence in Los Angeles starring
Sean Penn

Sean Penn and Robert Duvall.
He was nominated for an
Emmy

Emmy Award[26] for the 1991
HBO

HBO film Paris
Trout. Shortly thereafter, he played drug smuggler and DEA informant
Barry Seal

Barry Seal in the
HBO

HBO film Doublecrossed. He starred as King Koopa in
Super Mario Bros., a 1993 critical and commercial failure loosely
based on the video game of the same name.[14] In 1993, he played
Clifford Worley in True Romance. He co-starred in the 1994 blockbuster
Speed with
Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, and as magic-phobic H. P.
Lovecraft in the TV movie Witch Hunt.
In 1995, Hopper played a greedy TV self-help guru, Dr. Luther Waxling
in Search and Destroy. The same year, he starred as Deacon, the
one-eyed nemesis of Kevin Costner in Waterworld. And in 1996 he
starred in the science fiction comedy
Space Truckers

Space Truckers directed by
Stuart Gordon. In 1999, he starred in The Prophet's Game (a dark
thriller), Directed by David Worth and also starring Stephanie
Zimbalist, Robert Yocum, Sandra Locke,
Joe Penny and Tracey Birdsall
in one of her earlier roles. In 2003, Hopper was in the running for
the dual lead in the indie horror drama Firecracker, but was ousted at
the last minute in favor of Mike Patton. In 2005, Hopper played Paul
Kaufman in George A. Romero's Land of the Dead. In 2008, Hopper
starred in An American Carol. In 2008 he also played The Death in Wim
Wenders' Palermo Shooting. His last major feature film appearance was
in the 2008 film Elegy with Ben Kingsley,
Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz and Debbie
Harry. For his last performance, he was the voice of Tony, the
alpha-male of the Eastern wolf pack inside the 2010 3D computer
animated film Alpha and Omega. He died before the movie was released.
This brought the directors to dedicate the film to his memory at the
beginning of the movie credits.
Hopper filmed scenes for
The Other Side of the Wind

The Other Side of the Wind in 1971, but the
film is still unreleased; as of April 5, 2016, public knowledge has
held that
Netflix

Netflix is negotiating to acquire the film for distribution
in a deal worth $5 million.[27]
Television[edit]
Hopper debuted in an episode of the Richard Boone television series
Medic in 1955, portraying a young epileptic.
He appeared as an arrogant young gunfighter, the Utah Kid, in the 1956
episode "Quicksand" of the first hour-long television western
television series, ABC's Cheyenne, starring Clint Walker. In the story
line, the Kid gave Cheyenne Bodie no choice but to kill him in a
gunfight. In 1957, he played
Billy the Kid

Billy the Kid on the episode "Brannigan's
Boots" of ABC's Sugarfoot, with Will Hutchins.
He subsequently appeared in over 140 episodes of television shows such
as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Petticoat Junction, The Twilight Zone, The
Barbara Stanwyck Show, The Defenders, The Investigators, The Legend of
Jesse James, Entourage, The Big Valley, The Time Tunnel, The Rifleman
in which he appeared in the premier episode as a sharpshooter [28] and
Combat!.
Hopper teamed with Nike in the early 1990s to make a series of
television commercials. He appeared as a "crazed referee" in those
ads.[29] He portrayed villain
Victor Drazen in the first season of the
popular drama 24 on the Fox television network.
Hopper appeared on the final two episodes of the cult 1991 television
show
Fishing with John

Fishing with John with host John Lurie.
Hopper starred as a U.S. Army colonel in the
NBC

NBC 2005 television

cancelled after 14 episodes aired in the USA. Hopper appeared in all
22 episodes that were filmed. He also played the part of record
producer Ben Cendars in the Starz television series Crash, which
lasted two seasons (26 episodes).

Photography and art[edit]
Hopper in June 2008
Hopper had several artistic pursuits beyond film. He was a prolific
photographer, painter, and sculptor.[30]
Hopper's fascination with art began with painting lessons at the
Nelson-Atkins Museum

Nelson-Atkins Museum while still a child in Kansas City, Missouri.[31]
Early in his career, he painted and wrote poetry, though many of his
works were destroyed in a 1961 fire that burned scores of homes,
including his, on Stone Canyon Road[32] in Bel Air.[33] His painting
style ranges from abstract impressionism to photorealism and often
includes references to his cinematic work and to other artists.[1][34]
Ostracized by the
Hollywood

Hollywood film studios due to his reputation for
being a "difficult" actor, Hopper eventually turned to photography in
the 1960s with a
Nikon

Nikon camera bought for him by his first wife, Brooke
Hayward.[32] During this period he created the cover art for the Ike
& Tina Turner single
River Deep – Mountain High

River Deep – Mountain High (released in
1966).[35] He would become a prolific photographer, and noted writer
Terry Southern profiled Hopper in Better Homes and Gardens magazine as
an up-and-coming photographer "to watch" in the mid-1960s. Hopper's
early photography is known for portraits from the 1960s, and he began
shooting portraits for Vogue and other magazines. His photographs of
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington and 1965
civil-rights march in Selma, Alabama, were published. His intimate and
unguarded images of celebrities like
Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol and
Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda were
the subject of gallery shows and were collected in a book, "1712 North
Crescent Heights". The book, whose title was his address in the
Hollywood

Hollywood Hills in the 1960s, was edited by Marin Hopper.[33] In
1960–67, before the making of Easy Rider, Hopper shot a selection of
groundbreaking images that is seen as telling a remarkable history of
art, artist, places and events of that time.[36] Dennis Hopper:
Photographs 1961–1967 was published in February, 2011, by
Taschen.[37]
Hopper began working as a painter and a poet as well as a collector of
art in the 1960s as well, particularly Pop Art. Over his lifetime he
amassed a formidable array of 20th- and 21st-century art, including
many of Julian Schnabel's works (such as a shattered-plate portrait of
Hopper); numerous works from his early cohorts, such as Ed Ruscha,
Edward Kienholz,
Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein (Sinking Sun, 1964),[38] and Warhol
(Double Mona Lisa, 1963);[32] and pieces by contemporary artists such
as
Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst and Robin Rhode. He was involved in L.A.'s Virginia
Dwan and
Ferus

Ferus galleries of the 1960s, and he was a longtime friend
and supporter to New York dealer Tony Shafrazi.[31] One of the first
art works Hopper owned was an early print of Andy Warhol's Campbell's
Soup Cans bought for US$75. Hopper also once owned Andy Warhol's Mao
which he shot one evening in a fit of paranoia, the 2 bullet holes
possibly adding to the print's value. The print sold at Christie's,
New York, for US$302,500 in January 2011.[39] The proceeds of the
two-day sale of some 300 pieces from Hopper's collection at Christie's
went to his four children.[40]
During his lifetime, Hopper's own work as well as his collection was
shown in monographic and group exhibitions around the world including
the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; Walker Art Center,
Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the State
Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg; MAK Vienna: Austrian Museum of
Applied Arts/Contemporary Art, Vienna; the Whitney Museum of American
Art, New York; and the Cinémathèque Française, Paris, and the
Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne. In March 2010, it
was announced that Hopper was on the "short list" for Jeffrey Deitch's
inaugural show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
(MOCA).[41] In April 2010, Deitch confirmed that Hopper's work,
curated by Julian Schnabel, will indeed be the focus of his debut at
MOCA.[42] The title of the exhibition, Double Standard, was taken from
Hopper's iconic 1961 photograph of the two Standard Oil signs seen
through an automobile windshield at the intersection of Santa Monica
Boulevard, Melrose Avenue, and North Doheny Drive on historic Route 66
in Los Angeles. The image was reproduced on the invitation for Ed
Ruscha's second solo exhibition at
Ferus

Ferus Gallery in 1964.
On March 5, 2013,
HarperCollins

HarperCollins will publish a biography on Hopper by
American writer Tom Folsom, Hopper: A Journey into the American
Dream.[43]
On the
Gorillaz

Gorillaz album Demon Days, Hopper narrates the song "Fire
Coming out of the Monkey's Head".[44]
In the late 1980s Hopper purchased a trio of nearly identical
two-story, loft-style condominiums at 330 Indiana Avenue in Venice
Beach,
California

he commissioned an industrial-style main residence, with a corrugated
metal exterior designed by Brian Murphy, as a place to display his
artwork.[46]

According to
Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone magazine, Hopper was "one of Hollywood's
most notorious drug addicts" for 20 years. He spent much of the 1970s
and early 1980s living as an "outcast" in a small town after the
success of Easy Rider. Hopper was also "notorious for his troubled
relationships with women", including Michelle Phillips, who divorced
him after eight days of marriage.[47] Hopper was married five times:
Brooke Hayward, married 1961 – divorced 1969, 1 child, daughter
Marin Hopper (b. 1962)
Michelle Phillips; married October 31, 1970 – divorced November 8,
1970
Daria Halprin; married 1972 – divorced 1976, 1 child, daughter
Ruthanna Hopper (b. 1972)
Katherine LaNasa; married June 17, 1989 – divorced April 1992, 1
child, son Henry Lee Hopper (b. 1990)
Victoria Duffy; married April 13, 1996 – separated January 12,
2010,[48] 1 child, daughter Galen Grier Hopper (b. 2003)
Hopper has two granddaughters, Violet Goldstone and Ella Brill.[49]
Hopper has been widely reported to be the godfather of actress Amber
Tamblyn;[50] in a 2009 interview with Parade, Tamblyn explained that
"godfather" was "just a loose term" for Hopper,
Dean Stockwell
.jpg/440px-Dean_Stockwell_01_(6940352648).jpg)
Dean Stockwell and
Neil Young, three famous friends of her father's, who were always
around the house when she was growing up, and who were big influences
on her life.[51]
In 1999,
Rip Torn
.jpg/440px-Rip_Torn_2015_(cropped).jpg)
Rip Torn filed a defamation lawsuit against Hopper over a
story Hopper told on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Hopper claimed
that Torn pulled a knife on him during pre-production of the film Easy
Rider. According to Hopper, Torn was originally cast in the film but
was replaced with
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson after the incident. According to
Torn's suit, it was actually Hopper who pulled the knife on him. A
judge ruled in Torn's favor and Hopper was ordered to pay US$475,000
in damages. Hopper then appealed but the judge again ruled in Torn's
favor and Hopper was required to pay another US$475,000 in punitive
damages.[52]
According to Newsmeat, Hopper donated US$2,000 to the Republican
National Committee in 2004 and an equal amount in 2005.[53]
Hopper was honored with the rank of commander of France's National
Order of Arts and Letters, at a ceremony in Paris.[54]
Despite being a Republican, Hopper supported
Barack Obama

Barack Obama in the 2008
US Presidential election.[55] Hopper confirmed this in an election day
appearance on the ABC daytime show The View. He said his reason for
not voting Republican was the selection of
Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin as the
Republican vice presidential candidate.[56]
Divorce from Victoria Duffy[edit]
On January 14, 2010, Hopper filed for divorce from his fifth wife
Victoria Duffy.[57] After citing her "outrageous conduct" and stating
she was "insane", "inhuman" and "volatile", Hopper was granted a
restraining order against her on February 11, 2010, and as a result,
she was forbidden to come within 10 feet (3 m) of him or contact
him.[58] On March 9, 2010, Duffy refused to move out of the Hopper
home, despite the court's order that she do so by March 15.[59]
On March 23, 2010, he filed papers in court alleging Duffy had
absconded with US$1.5 million of his art, refused his requests to
return it, and then had "left town".[60]
On April 5, 2010, a court ruled that Duffy could continue living on
Hopper's property, and that he must pay US$12,000 per month spousal
and child support for their daughter Galen. Hopper did not attend the
hearing.[61] On May 12, 2010, a hearing was held before
Judge

Judge Amy
Pellman in downtown Los Angeles Superior Court. Though Hopper died two
weeks later, Duffy insisted at the hearing that he was well enough to
be deposed.[62] The hearing also dealt with whom to designate on
Hopper's life insurance policy, which listed his wife as a
beneficiary.[63] A very ill Hopper did not appear in court though his
estranged wife did – case BD518046. Despite Duffy's bid to be named
the sole beneficiary of Hopper's million-dollar policy, the judge
ruled against her and limited her claim to one-quarter of the policy.
The remaining US$750,000 was to go to his estate.[64]
On November 14, 2010, it was revealed that, despite Duffy's earlier
assertion in her court papers of February 2010 that Hopper was
mentally incompetent, and that his children had rewritten his estate
plan in order to leave Duffy and her daughter, Hopper's youngest child
Galen, destitute, Galen would in fact receive the proceeds of 40% of
his estate.[65]
Illness and death[edit]

Hollywood

Hollywood Walk of Fame
on March 26, 2010, two months before his death.
On September 28, 2009, Hopper, then 73, was reportedly brought by
ambulance to an unidentified Manhattan hospital wearing an oxygen mask
and "with numerous tubes visible".[66] On October 2, he was
discharged, after receiving treatment for dehydration.[67]
On October 29, Hopper's manager Sam Maydew reported that he had been
diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.[68] In January 2010, it was
reported that Hopper's cancer had metastasized to his bones.[69]
On March 18, 2010, he was honored with the 2,403rd star on the
Hollywood

Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of
Grauman's Egyptian Theatre

Grauman's Egyptian Theatre on
Hollywood

Hollywood Boulevard.[70] Surrounded by friends including Jack
Nicholson, Viggo Mortensen, David Lynch, Michael Madsen, family and
fans, he attended its addition to the sidewalk six days later.[71]
By March 23, 2010, Hopper reportedly weighed only 100 pounds
(45 kg) and was unable to carry on long conversations.[72]
According to papers filed in his divorce court case, Hopper was
terminally ill and was unable to undergo chemotherapy to treat his
prostate cancer.[73][74]
Hopper died at his home in the coastal Los Angeles district of Venice,
California, on the morning of May 29, 2010, 12 days after his 74th
birthday.[75] His funeral took place on June 3, 2010, at San Francisco
de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico.[76] His body
was buried in Jesus Nazareno Cemetery, Ranchos de Taos.[77]
The film Alpha and Omega, which was among his last film roles, was
dedicated to him as was the 2011 film Restless, which starred his son
Henry Hopper.
