Dennis Hopper (1936-2010)


Dennis Hopper directed Easy Rider and often lived like the film’s drug-dealing hippie bikers, earning two exiles from Hollywood. But he returned to do sobering work — most famously as a photographer in Apocalypse Now and a psychopath in Blue Velvet.

Not Quite Hollywood (2009)
