Dennis Hopper Loses Battle With Cancer

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Dennis Hopper has passed away after a long battle with cancer. His death, coming shortly after the death of Art Linkletter, came at the age of 74.

Best known for his role in Easy Rider, a 1969 cult classic, Dennis Hopper was a Reagan Conservative, after a life as a hard left, near commie, liberal in the seventies. A gun-toting Republican, his conservative streak was interrupted when he voted for Obama, not because he liked the man's politics, but as a protest to the Republican ticket of McCain and Palin.

But then again, what would you expect from a man known for his unpredictability?

Rest in Peace, Mr. Hopper, your films gave us memories we will be able to revisit time and time again.
