Reports are claiming that Dennis Hopper is losing his fight against cancer.
In October it was announced that the actor was battling with prostate cancer and was admitted to the hospital with severe flu type symptoms.
Immediately Hopper underwent treatment for his illness at the University of Southern California, but it is said that the disease has spread to his bones. His health has been worsening each day. Presently Hopper is in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and has been there since Christmas.
According to Britain’s News, doctors are admitting that the battle for the 73 year old may be over soon with the disease spreading like it is. The publication states the doctors have discussed with Hopper that the illness is incurable and that these may be his final days.
The acting legend has been struggling with the beast of diseases since 2002.
The actor is a legendary star that has performed in films like Apocalypse Now, Speed and Hoosiers, and Blue Velvet. He just finished the shooting for the TV Series Crash.
He is married to his fifth wife, Victoria Duffy, 42 and they both have a 6 year old daughter together.

I hope a miracle happens for him, What a great talent he is, we would lose an amazing man if not.
I hope and pray that Dennis Hopper will kick this cancer’s butt. No one should have to suffer with any kind of disease. God bless Dennis Hopper and his family. Hope he receives lots of prayers for healing.
It’s so sad to hear this news about one of the great actors of our time. My thoughts and prayers are with he and his family.
I had quite a few extensive converstions with Dennis in his Taos days. he had a bad boy reputation but he was always genial and accessible for conversation, especially when the topic was movies. I don’t think there is a person alive that knows more about movies or loves movies more than Dennis Hopper. My best wishes go out to him and his family.
i’m so sorry to get this type of news ,he is one of my best actors , and funny too, he has some great parts in his acting career ,best of wishes to him and his family ,, love yeah dennis
MY HUSBAND HAS THE SAME TYPE OF CANCER AND IT ALSO SPREAD IN TO HIS SPINE. HE WENT THROUGH RADIATION AND AND BI-LATERAL EXTREME ORCHIECTOMY OCTOBER 2008. HE IS STILL IN REMISSION THANK GOD. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY, BUT GOD IS A HEALER. JUST ASK
Wish you all the best Dennis. This news makes me very sad today. You are a real Hollywood great one.
Nothing but the best to Dennis…Hate ti see another outlaw fan in trouble. God…Bless
this is sad news, he’s one of my favorite actors! “Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!” one of my favorite lines from Blue Velvet.
Another great one is leaving all of us soon.
Dennis, I hope those who have work with you, have learned something from you and has taken a piece of you with them.
I want to thank you, for your talent and passion on the big screen. You will be missed.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. God bless you all.
So sad. Will always remember him for all those freakish, crasy roles he played…no one did those better.
I’m so sad to here about dennie Hopper, my Son die 2 month ago from cancer, My Prayer Go out to his famiy and him,
We’re very saddened about Dennis’s condition.He’s given us a lifetime good entertainment! His talent on screen is one of a kind. Our prayers are with you Dennis and your family.God Bless
Our prayers are with him
My husband too has prostrate cancer and it was not caught in time. By the grace of God he is still here 7 years later.
Dennis, please make sure you know where you are going before you leave this earth. That would be my prayer for you and your family to have eternal life with Jesus Christ. This life is so short compared to eternity. Don’t find out too late. Just ask Jesus into your heart and let your family know where you are headed. It will make a world and an eternity of difference for everyone you love and who loves you!
I agree with you Jacque Hill, I pray Dennis Hooper is a Christian and if not, he needs to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior before it is too late!!Best wishes Mr. Hopper, we are all praying for you.
Wishing you all good blessings and safe journeys.
Bless you Dennis and your family. My prayers are with you.
God bless you,I will pray for your recovery!!! I liked all your movies,especially one of my all time favorites “HANG EM HIGH” ! Good luck & GOD BLESS !!!
I’m sorry to hear about Dennis Hopper. He’s a great American actor. His verbal exchange with Chris Walken in True Roamance was brilliant. And his performances throughout the decades from Giant, Rebel Without a Cause, Easy Rider and Hoosiers to Rivers’s Edge, Blue Velvet and Osterman Weekend are all wonderful. He is one of our best character actors of all time. I hope he gets better.
god bless you mr. hopper thank you
The river flows, it flows to the sea. Where ever that
river goes, thats where I want to be. Flow river, flow. Ride the river “Billy”.
This is very sad news. He is really a good actor. My prayers go out to his family. May the Lord be with you Mr. Hopper.
Your a great actor Dennis. take care and enjoy what you got.
Sounds like your screwed, Dennis. Should have been getting yearly prostate cancer screens and PSA tests. I’m 39 and I’ve already started mine.
Dennis you & your family are in thoughts & prayers. We will light a candle. God Bless.
God bless you, Dennis, and your family – and never give up hope! Many prayers being said here for you. (and yes, Jesus is always there for you, my friend)
MY prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. I know it’s a very hard time for you all, but he will be in a better place, and you will meet up with him. God Bless you and your Family
Dennis
I was told last May that I have the dreaded demon prostate cancer. I completed the battery of radiation treatment and will return in March for my first check up.
I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ and am trusting that whatever the outccme my life is in the hands of the Lord. My hope is to recover just fine, but God knows what is best. Jesus loves you Dennis. Trust him and I hope your journey is blessed. God loves you, and my prayers go out to you and your loved ones.
God bless … Ray
People have the idea that prostate cancer is ‘not serious’; well, I have it and it’s BAD !
MY PRAYES ARE WITH MR. HOPPER, MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU !
Dennis, my prayers, thoughts and hopes are with you. As a prostrate cancer surviver for 13 years, PSA is starting to rise. I know you will fight and with God’s help, you will make it. Take care and God Bless, Frank
God bless you Mr. Hopper. Your commercials are the best, absolutely!
How very sad.
This is a very sad story. My prayers are with him and his family. I had the honor of meeting him years ago and he is truly a very nice man. He has a goofy seance of humor and a big heart too.
Tick-Tock
Dennis has been part of growing up since the easyrider days. Another great person is moving on. You will be missed. All the best. Peace.
Omigoodness.. what is it with all this religious mumbo-jumbo on this blog? My condolences to Dennis Hopper’s family.. I’m sorry he’s dying — but here is news for all of you on this site — THERE IS NO “Better place”… there is no invisible old man with a beard floating in the sky.. and there is no Heaven.. its all a man-made delusion. When you’re dead you’re dead. That’s it. I don’t talk to the dead.. and neither do you all.
The world would be a better place without all these nonsense beliefs.
Conjeel, How do you know? Did you die and then come back to give us this news flash?
You, sir, have immense faith in your notGod; the Devil sings your philosophers’ praises.
Jack_sprat: I don’t have “immense faith”. I have reason. And, unlike your “faith”, reason has been proven to work. Reason asks for thinking and action and logic… and for those, reason gives back answers and progress and… everything… all of human civilization is made by reason. So I know reason works. Faith asks for nothing and gives nothing. It doesn’t require thought, nor action, nor anything except stupidity and delusion.
Faith is not a virtue. It is the product of lazy and delusional minds… like yours.
In you it’s proven that the devil may win!
Conjeeled – not everyone shares your non belief. What is with all this non-religious mumbo jumbo on this blog? Congrats on your beliefs, but you are as bad as the other side. You are Sofa King funny!
Conjeel, Dennis needs our prayers not a diatribe on your beliefs. In the words of that great American philosopher, Mr. T….”Pity the fool”
Chuck: “Dennis needs our prayers.” ?? Really? What do you think “our prayers” will do? You think he’ll live another 10 years? Cause the invisible man in the sky will listen to YOUR prayer and take away his cancer? You believe that?
And you call me a fool ? Hmmmm…..
See you on the other side Bro.
I LOVE this guy!! Best actor of his time….how tragic. Our prayers are with him and his family.
I’m very sad about the news, we’re huge fans. God bless you and you’re family during this difficult time.
Our prayers are with you. We named our daughter after you Denise Michelle.
Mr. Hopper. good thoughts go out to you and yours during this trying time.
ONE OF MY BEST ACTORS, IN GOD EVERTHING IS POSSIBLE DENNIS,,,BELIVE IN HIM, MAY HE BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOREVER. BLESS YOU
God Bless You Dennis Lets Everything In the Hands Of The Almigthy.
Run the fight…You are an inspiration to us all!!!.. Hasta La Victoria!!!!
THANKS, JUST FOR BEING YOU
People every day die from colon cancer, feel bad for the poor bastards who don’t have insurance, and get second class treatment.
Rexin-G, a new drug might work. Google it Dennis.
Thoughts and prayers to Dennis and his family.
Met a man at a Hollywood party where I didn’t belong so I took a seat at the bar next to a round the way guy nursing a drink. We talked, laughed, and sipped together. Just like everyday people, like B’more, Philly, Dorchester, Omaha, and–for sure–Newark. Then my brother-in-law came up, greeted the guy, and asked him about an upcoming movie, which I knew would star Dennis Hopper. The guy said, “Yeah,” and that’s when I realized I’d been speaking with the star who proved to be more man than rebel. Peace and Health, blessings of authentic love.
God be with you at this time in your life,He is always with you and your family.
A very sad end to a great actor. My prayers are with his family at this time.
My prayer and my families prayers are with you and your family.
Johanna Budwig of Germany cured thousands of cancer with flax seeds or flax seed oil in cottage cheese, believe it or don’t. Google it.. I hear it’s also being used in Canada. Also ozone therapy, in Germany, has saved many people.Don’t give up. And don’t trust American “poison, cut, and burn” treatment.
Dennis, you’re the reason I call everybody Man, man.
Mr. Hopper, I hope you have made peace with your maker. God cannot and will not save you from hell after you are gone. Do it now while you are still
alive. You will never be sorry. May God bless you and
your family.
Mr. Hopper,
May God bless and hold you and your family in his loving arms and give you all comfort and peace. If it is God’s will that you go to His heavenly kingdom, go in love and know that you have given millions left behind so very much enjoyment through your movies. You will live on thru these from now on and you WILL be missed. Thank you. Praying for you and your family.
Our prayers are with him.
In “Goodfellas” someone said: The doctors gave a guy 6 months to live, but he couldn’t pay his bill, so they gave him 6 more months.
Sorry to see him go, but to those saying “God Bless you, man.” Doesn’t it seem like god clearly doesn’t care? I mean, why would he be dying of cancer of god had blessed him, unless there is no . . . oh, wait. Yeah. There isn’t.
Superstitious primates.
We’ve taken God out of everything, The Pledge of Allegiance, Schools and people have stopped bringing their children to legitimate places of worship (not the cults or born agains or JW’s). It’s called “Faith”. I had been doubting for quite some time the existence of God. I was filled with pain and started reading the Bible recently. All of a sudden I have had days that have been totally pain-free. I have started praying to God. I believe there is a fight for control between God and the devil who was a fallen angel. That’s why these things are happening all over the world. Killings,wars, governments toppling, tragic disasters, earthquakes, tsunami’s, flooding, fires, etc. Read the book of REVELATIONS and you will find that what was predicted thousand of years ago is now happening. I hate to think this is all there is. And Yes it does sound like mumbo jumbo, but again, that is why it is called ‘FAITH’. I’m not a religious fanatic, but I can see all the signs. God said he’d never flood the earth again and that the next time it would be by fire. Perhaps the ozone problems will be the fire or nuclear war will burn us up. Who knows, but I want to believe I am going somewhere good when I die.
Tandeej: You are not a religious fanatic? Gee… you sound like one to me.
You say you have FAITH ! Is that a virtue? Is that a good thing? It doesn’t sound like a good thing tome. It sounds to me like you’re a delusional. That you can convince yourself that the world is supernatural rather than natural. Sounds to me like you’re a lazy thinker who is prone to being manipulated by charlatans… If they told you that God wanted you to kill someone, you could do it couldn’t you? Cause you believe in nonsense. I don’t think you are virtuous at all. I believe in reason, not faith. Faith is not a virtue. Faith is the product of lazy and delusional minds… like yours.
As a prostate cancer suvivor. I wish you a recovery.
Keep fighting it. Your one of my favorate actors.
PEACE MAN
RIDE ON BROTHER BILLY
My thoughts and prayers to Mr. Hopper and his family. Keep fighting the fight and never give up.
Conjeel…it’s called “faith.” I have it and I wish all those non-believers would have a little faith that there IS a God and there IS a heaven. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
MadisonRose:
So you have “faith.” Well, I have reason. And the problem you have is that faith gives nothing except a comforting delusion. Reason gives us everything: computers, the Internet, cell phones, cars, planes, electricity, and human civilization. Reason provides answers and gives us an understanding of nature and the universe and natural laws. Faith only has one answer to all questions: God. And that is no answer at all.
For example, we can ask “What causes lightning?” Reason uses logic and the scientific method and provides answers that advance our knowledge and the human condition. Faith’s answer is “God causes lightning”. And that is no answer at all ! It is meaningless and answers nothing and creates nothing.
So.. we know that reason is powerful. It is a way of thinking that has helped us create… everything we have. Without reason we would be living in caves and eating raw meat. Now… reason tells us that a supernatural God is impossible. Something that can snap its fingers and create the universe makes no sense… it has no reason.
But Faith doesn’t care whether someting is impossible or not. It requires no reason nor any real thinking at all.. It just requires one to say “I believe”. You can have faith that people from Venus visit you in your room every night. You can have faith that dinosaurs walked the earth 6,000 years ago. You can have faith that you will be rewarded in heaven if you kill someone who doesn’t believe in the same invisible man as you. Faith is stupid and anti-reason. It is the product of lazy and delusional minds.
Now… I wouldn’t necessarily care if faith was just something that stupid people have. The problem however is that faith has caused tremendous human suffering throughout human history. From the Spanish Inquisition to the Crusades to Hitler’s faith in a Master Race to Mohammed Atta’s faith that he would be rewarded in heaven for flying planes into buildings… faith provides the support for any kind of bloodshed and torture… as long as you have faith!
Faith is an idiocy. It retards the human condition and keeps us from using the powers of reason. The world would be much better off with more reason and less faith.
Faith is something you believe will make life better, or having hope. Although we have differences that we continue to strive to improve the human condition, that we confront wrong and evil behaviors because they hurt us all, that we all are responsible for the human conditions on a gobal or universal level. It is, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. It is about making life beter through faith (hope) and intellect. Man is the only animal that has been given this intellectual capacity, it is there for a reason. So, you see, everything is open to our own personsl interpetations, we choose how to believe, that is our faith. Peace be with you.
Phyllis: Problem with your statement is that faith doesn’t tell us anything about what is wrong or evil… One need a moral compass outside the Bible in order to be able to pick and choose what statements in the Bible you want to follow or not. There are people who have had great faith and have done horrible things in the name of that faith. Only reason can help you determine what is right and wrong… clearly not the Bible, which is full of inconsistancies…
The modern moral code is a secular code, not a Biblical code… There are passages in the Bible which instruct you to kill your neighbor if he doesn’t obey the Sabbath… only secular laws and morals keep us from doing that.
My brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months ago but thank God it was caught early. My prayers are with you and your family. I enjoyed all of your movies.
conjeel, it’s sad the way you think, but you are clearly aloud to think what you want, because you live in this GREAT COUNTRY KNOWN AS “THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA” Which unfortunately for you was founded on the belief of religion and to be more concise Christianity. If this bothers you then you can easily leave. No one will stop you. GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
Thank you for supporting my claims about the intellectual capacity of the “faithful.”
You are a moron. This country was founded on separation of church and state… the first truly secular country. THAT’s what made it special. Secular morality and government… And… Thank God for that ! (just an expression.. I’m not really thanking some invisible man floating in the sky… cause there is no such thing.)
May God bless you Dennis, I also have the beast and so far am alive. I am also incurable, but am still beating this monster. I do believe that God has intervened because I was told I would never leave the hospital , which I have. I have small cell lung cancer and still here by the grace of God. God bless Dennis
