Hopper began his career working alongside James Dean and Natalie Wood in Rebel Without a Cause 1955 and was nominated twice for an Oscar for Hoosiers and Easy Rider.

Easy Rider, in which he starred and directedr, is the seminal counterculture road pic defining low budget cinema of early 1970s.

Yet, Hopper’s pal James Dean died 54 years ago today. 

AND oddly enough Hopper,  the enfant terrible du cinema,  was once married to Mammas & Pappas Michelle Phillips – their union lasted seven days during the thesp’s out-of-control boozing and coke binges during his directorial disaster The Last Movie (1973).

His rep said the Crash star was suffering freom "flu-like symptoms" and all personal apperances have now been canceled.
