Hey chickadees, it’s Sonya in for the week. I hope your Memorial Day weekend was good, because for poor Mister Dennis Hopper, it was not so good. From Popeater:

Dennis Hopper, whose unmistakable presence graced the silver screen for five decades in classics like ‘Easy Rider’ and ‘Apocalypse Now,’ died on Saturday after a grueling battle with prostate cancer, a friend of the actor told Reuters. The actor was surrounded by family and friends when he died at his home in Venice, California shortly after 8 AM, according to the friend, Alex Hitz. Hopper was 74.

The actor spent most of 2010 embroiled in a divorce from his fifth wife of 14 years, Victoria Duffy-Hopper. A family friend told The Huffington Post in January that Hopper was “delirious and having difficulty speaking.” It was more recently reported that Hopper weighed just barely 100 pounds and was too frail to attend chemotherapy treatments or divorce proceedings.

Geez, I don’t know what type of husband he was, but his wife has to be a major heartless guttersnipe to put him through a nasty divorce while cancer is eating his man parts. Not cool, lady. Not cool. Rest in peace, Dennis Hopper.
