Dennis Hopper Reportedly in Final Stages of Cancer
Several sources are reporting that Dennis Hopper, star of Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now, is losing his battle with prostate cancer and is gathering friends and family to say goodbye.
According to reports, Hopper, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September 2009, has told those close to him that he’s ready to die now that he’s completed his final wish — finishing filming on his TV series Crash. “Dennis has come to grips with the fact that the end is likely near,” a source says. “He knew going into the last weeks of filming Crash that he was on borrowed time. His doctors had told him they were no longer able to contain the disease, and his condition had severely worsened.
“Dennis missed three days on the set due to dehydration, but then he came back, got back on his mark and faced the camera,” the source continued. “Really, it was some of the best acting he’s ever done.”
This is no doubt a difficult time for Hopper’s wife Victoria Duffy and his four children, the youngest of whom is six. Our thoughts go out to all of them.
