I heard they go in 3’s and I wonder who might be #3, but that one never crossed my mind.

[Tolsti2]

Ah crap, another one I really liked. Sure comes in waves.

[Travis McGee]

RIP, Easy Rider.

Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper. Who will be number three?

[small voice in the wilderness]

I think Art Linkletter

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I always enjoyed his work. RIP

Art Linkletter died this week.

from complications of prostate cancer
 
I don't know the particulars of his case [obviously], but, at least in theory, and, on average, this should NOT have happened.
 
Unless something really weird went wrong, men should NOT be dying from prostate cancer at that age [or, quite frankly, at any other age].

[dennisw]

He had his fun...now it’s time to go. Sounds funny but he was old school Hollywood in a lot of ways. At least he wasn’t an idiot lib.

Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper. Who will be number three?

Art Linkletter, who died Thursday, was #2. Dennis Hopper is #3.

[placerville]

I really liked his role in the movie “Flashback”.

I was expecting this sad headline. There was a recent photo of Hopper receiving a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame last March and it was clear he didn't have much time left.

RIP Dennis.

Dennis Hopper's estranged wife insists he is well enough to appear in court.

I thought his performance as "Shooter" in "Hoosiers" was his best. The rest were just really, really good.

[JimC214]

Gary Colemen and Art Linkletter.

[bcsco]

Yep. He was in a number of Westerns as a young man. This, of course is from True Grit.

[Signalman]

Hopper was a stand-up guy. I understand that in later years, he became a Republican and a conservative.

[Lancey Howard]

One of the all-time greats.
Rest in peace.

[gman992]

Big time Republican too!

[Pharmboy]

My favorite role for him was in "True Romance." And, he became a good conservative, too.

RIP

The young Dennis Hopper & William Buckley Jr. could have passed for brothers. Was Hopper a Hollywood lib?

a touching post. TX

[MozarkDawg]

Oh man, totally love that performance! Especially when he’s dying on the floor asking for a cool drink of water, brilliant actor! He will be missed.

[republicangel]

Ummm, I normally would agree, but prostate cancer like any cancer will do what it wants.
Daughter just had her thyroid removed, doctors said well if she has cancer that is the cancer to have... no one dies of it. Just had a cousin die of thyroid cancer this month.
Brother has stage 4 prostate cancer. Another brother’s was caught early. However, his PSA was still in the “normal range” according to his doctor. He quickly went to the other brother’s doctor. After biopsies and surgery, half of his prostate was full of cancer yet the PSA was still in the normal range. He knew though it had risen since the previous year.

RIP, Easy Rider!
