Sorry Folks, No Image Is Here.

Actor Dennis Hopper has passed away at the age of 74. He has been in the hospital for awhile now, and has died from complications of prostate cancer. His life was complicated & chaotic even at the end; divorcing his wife back in January from his “deathbed.” Dennis Hopper will always be known for such movies as Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now, True Romance, Blue Velvet, Hoosiers, Speed, and yes, even Super Mario Bros. Ok that last one was a joke. He also did some TV work as well, playing the main baddie in the first season of 24. Dennis Hopper and the interesting characters he portrayed will be missed.

The hard-living screen icon died at 8:15 a.m. PDT , surrounded by family and friends, said the friend, Alex Hitz.
