Bless His Heart!

Filed under: Sad Sad

He looks so frail, but at the same time, we marvel at his strength!

Dennis Hopper was on hand to receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday afternoon, despite his grueling battle with prostate cancer that has left him terribly weak.

Check out the video of Dennis accepting his honor. (above)

Sending you a lot of strength and well wishes, Dennis!

      Cancer is such a horrible, painful, sadistic and robs its victims of so much not even physically, but emotionally as well. My grandmother died of cancer 3 years ago and, it was the toughest thing I've ever seen someone i love go through. I wish this on no one.

      It's sad that you're only nice to people when they have a deadly disease or when they're fighting for gay rights…

      That said, stay strong, Dennis!!!!

      I hope he gets better. Ugh cancer is horrible!

      Cancer is such a bitch…i know dennis has been a long time smoker, not sure if that impacted his health, but nobody deserves the devestation it reigns on people. I was actually quite shocked that the guy had not had a star already?
      Every once in awhile i hear of some hasbeen getting a star….and then once in awhile like this…you learn of someone you had assumed got one years ago.
      Good that he got his day in the sun and i dont know the prognosis but i hope you fight that bitch dennis. Good luck.



    11. 11

      This made me tear up, so sad. Love that he has friends like Jack Nicholson there. Can't imagine anyone fighting with someone so frail and sick.



    12. 12

      He should have gotten a star years ago. He looks like he's so happy receiving it. Also that isn't is grand daughter that's his taughter. I wish him and his daughter the world.



    13. 13

      :( Aww, i hope he gets better!! He needs to be alive for another 20 years at least, he's a living leyend!!!



    14. 14

      i lost my mama to pancreatic cancer a little over a year ago, and it is the saddest thing to watch a love one die. kudos to dennis hopper to get out into the media when he doesn't look like himself. it looks like he still has his sense of humor, which is something that my mama kept until the end. a week before she died, she wanted us to have a party for her. . . and she wanted to find a mixer for prune juice. my brother found a recipe for prune juice and vodka. . . harley bowel bangers. . . needless to say, one bathroom was not enough.



    15. 15

      Thanks for posting the clip. I love Dennis Hopper's movies. I wish him Godspeed.



    16. 16

      Why is this under 'Sad'? I think it's awesome and long overdue.

      Nice to see him 'with it'… I hope he holds out for a long time to come, AND he wins out with his current battle of good vs. evil.



    17. 17

      Your so funny Perez! "bless his heart" *gag*



    18. 18

      Re: bearmontyRe: Laury – Ahh, my bad. It only looks like his grand daughter b/c his trophy wife is so much younger than him. but wait…are they still married? LOL.
      *
      EVERYONE is only nice to people when they are on their death bed. Dennis Hopper is apparently one mean-spirited and misogynistic SOB but he's dying so it's all "ahhh, poor soul". Bunch of hypocrites.



    19. 19

      Re: didntneedtoseethat – And which side is Dennis Hopper on? LOL! He's suddenly "good" b/c he is dying? He's apparently a mean-spirited SOB and HUGE substance abuser who probably caused his own cancer. His "wife" Victoria is a vapid gold digger and disgusting as well. More like a battle of evil vs. evil. LOL.

      it is sad. he's done some terrible things to others in hollywood and such. but it is sad to see him this way.



    21. 21

      You have no heart Perez. You are as fake and lame as they come and will do anything to get into the lime light. I hope you will change your ways one day and actually be a good.nice person. You can still make a statement and move up in the world without having to put ppl down. PPl must have been really mean to you growing up and you had no friends cause you are some kind of messed up!



    22. 22

      Wow…I'm truly in tears here… I am not young, therefore, I've seen Dennis Hopper in all his movies, etc. He IS larger than life in all he has portrayed and in life. Always staying true to himself ! So happy to see Jack Nicholson there by his side. This goes to show, friendship, is indeed, forever. And the good…

      God Bless….xo



    23. 23

      DAMN, ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS. SAD ABOUT THE CANCER. DUDE IS 73 THO… HE HAS LIVED A FULL LIFE REGARDLESS. :(



    24. 24

      Re: trace – I don't understand you. You concede that he has, in fact, done some terrible things to people yet "it's sad to see him this way"? How horrible must the things people do be for it to be NOT "sad to see them this way"? I'm curious. What does it take? Murder? Dennis hasn't been convicted of that. Rape? Dennis had his fare share of that. Beating up on women? Dennis had his fare share of that as well. Child sexual abuse? Genocide? What, exactly? B/c Dennis the Menace here is NOT a good person. He's hurt a TON of people in his life…but now that he's dying "all is forgiven"? Why? b/c he's a celeb? Save your pity for the VICTIMS not the VICTIMIZERS.



    25. 25

      so sad



    26. 26

      I hope he gets better. Dennis seems like such a kewl person. Cancer is hell, much much more money should be invested in research and not in AIDS or god help us, in the army.



    27. 27

      Too bad that his nasty divorce shit has been tainting his glory of his last days. He seems lucid enough to deliver his thoughts in that speech he gave. His x-wife should just quietly disappear and get on with her life.



    28. 28

      i really like him. I've liked lots of his movies. He's such a handsom man!



    29. 29

      poor old thang



    30. 30

      "George Bush hatez black people!"



    31. 31

      May he find peace and comfort in his final days. We'll all be there one day. I admire him tremendously for his work–it's very wonderful he was able to attend his moment!



    32. 32

      I was there. It was real sad knowing that he'll be gone soon and all, but he was in very high spirits and smiled a lot! There was a great crowd of fans there to support him. I feel very lucky to have seen him there today. =) I love Dennis Hopper.



    33. 33

      Poor thing. I'll pray for him. He definitely looks frail, but I'm so glad he got to enjoy this moment.



    34. 34

      I bet you well wishes just made his day, he must be so honored.



    35. 35

      Jesus Christ can Jack Nicholson get any fatter?



    36. 36

      Re: Naomid – Jack Nicholson is a fat and violent man! Don't know how he gets away with it!



    37. 37

      He's beyond skin and bones, poor thing. And with billions and billions poured into finding cures, and all the walks and marches, the US always seems woefully behind in finding anything resembling a cure for the Big C. But hospitals are big business, so are the drug companies.

      Re: sparkys nemesis – Right on Sparkys!



    39. 39

      about time he got his star :'(



    40. 40

      The man had one of the most legendary staches the world has ever seen. Big props for your succesful life Mr Hopper.. Good to see Jack n Dennis together like 45 years after easy rider



    41. 41

      Thank You Dennis Hopper, for all the wonderful movies!



    42. 42

      I'm almost tears in here…All best wishes for him! And good luck!

      you suck you suck. David foster wallace lives!



    44. 44

      HEINEKEN!!!??? FUCK THAT SHIT!!! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!

      IM GONNA WATCH SUPER MARIO BROTHERS THE MOVIE IN HIS HONOR



    45. 45

      I wish he would get well. I wish there would be a cure for cancer…



    46. 46

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – I agree, BUT he's dropped most of that acquired evil out of his life. His wife, on the other hand, is riding on the coat tails of his prior evil-NESS. Which is worse? Har-diddly-har! :D



    47. 47

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – oh, and p.s., anyone who paints can't be all THAT bad. … Right?



    48. 48

      Die already! You were a crappy human being most of your life and now your going to pay for it with a horribly painful death!! Guess what.. you deserve it!



    49. 49

      … and, I plan on walking my dog over to his star this afternoon to leave another memorial on top of it.



    50. 50

      awww



    51. 51

      While some people may not be the greatest human beings in the world, no one deserves to suffer from cancer. My father was one of those people who died from lung cancer five years ago. Fortunatley he did not suffer long..died 6 weeks after his diagnoses. Although I pretty much detested my father most of my life…it was heartbreaking to watch him go from a very healthy man to 80 lbs in 6 weeks. I saw things that no person should ever have to witness, especially their own parent. People that say Dennis Hopper deserves to suffer, obviously, have not dealt with losing and watching a close family member suffer and die. I would not wish this on anyone, even my worst enemy!



    52. 52

      God Bless Dennis….



    53. 53

      Re: Bite_Me – Well said! I witnessed my uncle suffering from cancer when i was a kid, i still can't get the images out of my mind and it's been many years. No matter who it it, it's a terrible, terrible way to go.



    54. 54

      GodSpeed Easy Rider . . . :)

      Re: The Audge

      There is something horribly wrong with you. Why would anyone wish death on another person? He has a seven year old daughter who loves him dearly, after the ceremony, after Dennis Hopper had been taken to his vehicle, his little girl was screaming "I want my Daddy! I want my Daddy!". Her Daddy is going to be gone soon. It is so rude and heartless to say that you wish for his death and that you want tour dog to crap on his star. You probably don't even live in Hollywood, L.A., or California for that matter. You sound like some miserable bitter women from Kansas whose husband left her. You need to get over your personal issues and not project those onto other people.



    56. 56

      Poor guy - he looks like he's about 100. God bless him. I hope he doesn't have to suffer much longer.



    57. 57

      it's so sad to see him in such a diminished state. jack nicholson looks so plump and healthy next to him. the contrast just exaggerates how frail dennis hopper is right now.



    58. 58

      I love this man SO much one of the GREATEST actors of ALL time



    59. 59

      Can someone please say what he has done that's bad? I have never heard anything



    60. 60

      Dennis Hopper should of had his star on the Walk of Fame…years if not DECADES ago - kind of messed up that they wait for the poor man to literally be at death's door to finally honor him



    61. 61

      Bravery would be fighting your way out of bed to HELP SOMEONE or DO SOMETHING for the world. Going to your OWN celebration and party, yeah, big deal. Bravery would be killing yourself rather than draining resources to live another week or month.

      Cancer kills people. We all have to die. You "marvel" at his strength? Why? you've never had chemo, you don't know what it feels like. I marvel that he didn't die a decade earlier. I marvel that more than one woman was stupid enough to marry and procreate with him. and hell yeah, if you smoke heavily and drink you do "deserve" cancer, duh! take yer lumps and cash in yer chips!



    62. 62

      this just kills me! im crying! Jeeze!



    63. 63

      Re: Bite_Me – Well I'm not saying I enjoy seeing him suffer. Of course not. I'm just not sad to see him suffer. It just doesn't make me sad. Sorry.

      Dennis Hopper is someone we grew up with and it's sad to see him like this.
