Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 18 Jan. 2010
Here's adding insult to injury. Dennis Hopper, already publicly admitting his prostate diagnosis, is now close to death, according to The Flagship, and he's told friends he's ready for the end.
And the Enquirer isn't even putting it on the front page! It's on the website! I wouldn't have seen it except that my friend Amelia took me up on my request to have people e-mail me when they see something. Thanks for the heads up, hon, and Go Knicks!
Sorry, Dennis, but your face on the cover just doesn't grab the eyeballs like Miss Loretta Lynn or a bunch of people who the Enquirer can insinuate are gay.
I know some of these Brave Last Days Alerts are going to come true, but I wish Mr. Hopper all the best. He's done a lot of great work in his career, but I have a special soft spot for Cool Hand Luke, one of the great trivia movies of all time when it comes to the depth of the cast.
UPDATE: Dennis Hopper died on May 29, 2010.
