Trivia
His 1970 marriage to Michelle Phillips lasted just a few days, during his wild and woolly, drug-fueled period. She also appears briefly in The Last Movie (1971), Hopper's almost-disastrously appropriately entitled solo directorial effort, following Easy Rider (1969). At one point in this era, Hopper was arrested after he was found raving, naked. After early success as a child star in theater, his movie career was practically stillborn when Louis B. Mayer banned him from the MGM lot after Hopper responded forcefully, in kind, when the mogul belittled his desire to play Shakespearen roles.
His house in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, is a radical architectural statement.
Ranked #87 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. [October 1997]
Reported that Rip Torn has won a $475,000 defamation suit against Hopper. Lawsuit came about after remarks made by Hopper on "The Tonight Show" on 31 May 1994. [14 March 1997]
Dennis Hopper married Victoria Duffy in Boston, at the Old South Church.
Lamenting to an audience Q & A in Sydney that he had "never had any great roles", Hopper nominated Splendor in the Grass (1961) as the one he most wished he'd been given.
Belongs to the Top 100 collectors of modern art.
Had his photography exhibited at Fort Worth, Denver, Wichita, Cochran, and Spileto art museums, as well as the Parco Gallery and in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Kumatomo, Japan.
As a youngster in Kansas City, he took classes taught by legendary painter Thomas Hart Benton, who told him: "One day you'll learn to get tight, and paint loose.".
At one time, was blackballed from Hollywood roles for eight years.
1 September 2000 - A Canadian judge dismissed marijuana charges against Hopper stemming from an October 1999 arrest in Calgary.
Father of Marin Hopper, born June 26th 1962, with Brooke Hayward.
In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), he says "Boys, boys, boys." when he first meets Leatherface and the Sawyer family. Hopper says the exact same thing when he first meets the heroes in Super Mario Bros. (1993).
Dennis and Victoria Duffy Hopper's first child, daughter Galen Grier Hopper, was born on March 26, 2003 in L.A.
His parents are Jay and Marjorie Hopper. His father died in 1982 and his mother remarried.
Graduate of Helix High School, La Mesa, California. Class of 1954, which voted him "Most Likely To Succeed."
Hopper is quoted in the book "Marilyn Beck's Hollywood" (1973) as saying that the Manson Massacre of Sharon Tate and friends was the backlash from a sex and drugs party the week previously, in which a drug dealer was tied up and whipped before a crowd for selling "bad dope" to the residents of 10050 Cielo Drive. As can be seen by Rip Torn's success in prosecuting a defamation suit against Hopper in the 1990s, he is not the most reliable witness to history.
James Dean learned he had an interest in photography when they worked together, and encouraged him to pursue it as an alternative to just being an actor. Hopper published a book of photos in the late 1980s, including pictures of stars he'd known, and thanked Dean.
Is portrayed by Jarrod Dean in The Mystery of Natalie Wood (2004) (TV).
Provided the narration for the Gorillaz song "Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head".
Member of the US Republican Party.
Thinks that James Dean is the best actor he ever worked with since he met him on the set of Rebel Without a Cause (1955).
His performance as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet (1986) is ranked #54 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.
Has a son, with Katherine LaNasa, named Henry Lee Hopper, born on September 1990.
Father of Ruthanna Hopper with Daria Halprin.
His acting career has taken him all over the world, and to date he has filmed movies in over 22 countries. (May 2007).
Despite his Republican affiliations, he intentionally parodied Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld while playing the greedy, racist villain, Mr. Kaufman in Land of the Dead (2005).
Alumni of the Lee Strasberg Institute.
