    "Dennis Hopper, the high-flying Hollywood wild man whose memorable and erratic career included an early turn in "Rebel Without a Cause," an improbable smash with "Easy Rider" and a classic character role in "Blue Velvet," has died. He was 74.

    Hopper died Saturday at his home in the Los Angeles beach community of Venice, surrounded by family and friends, family friend Alex Hitz said. Hopper's manager announced in October 2009 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer."

    One of the all time greats in my book. R.I.P. Dennis.

    Man, True Romance, Easy Rider, Rebel without a cause (he was in a James Dean Film) Waterworld...was he in Apocalypse Now as the Reporter?

    I used to like his work, but here is sadly enough what I remember him from mostly:

    The deaths of certain well-known people are felt more deeply than others because, rightly or not, we feel that we connect with the person beyond their public roles.

    I always felt a deep connection to Hopper.

    RIP, old friend. Thank you for everything you gave us.

    not a huge fan of his acting wise. Kind of thought most of his roles were a bit cornball. But he seemed like a pretty cool dude to hang out with. RIP
