Gaybutton Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Hollywood’s last ‘Rebel’ dies ‘Easy Rider’ actor/director Dennis Hopper, at 74 By James Verniere Sunday, May 30, 2010 He was born to be wild, the last rebel without a cause and a comeback kid. Dennis Lee Hopper, aptly born in Dodge City, Kan., emerged playing baby-faced outlaws in the 1950s, idolized “Rebel” co-star James Dean, directed and co-starred in the 1969 youthquake phenomenon “Easy Rider” and revived his career sucking on a gas mask as the twisted killer Frank Booth in David Lynch’s psych-out classic “Blue Velvet” (1986). Many people know Hopper, who died yesterday of prostate cancer at 74, as mad bomber Howard Payne with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves in “Speed” (1994). Dennis Hopper dies - BostonHerald.com Quote
