Hopper should have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Blue Velvet".

Why is Joe an ass? He's right. I'm shocked myself since 75 is the average life span and Dennis spent half of it being high. It's just an observation, lighten up.

I hope he's okay. Get well soon!!! LOVED him in Hoosiers!!!

Why is it such a shock to find out all of these Hollywood people die at home or are rushed to the hospital from alcahol and drug addiction? That is part of their life style. They usually come from ordinary jobs and go to actors school and of course we have all heard of the producers couch, haven,t we ? What a way to get to the top if you do.
