Dennis Hopper Rushed To ER

30 September, 2009

Dennis Hopper, famed actor and one of the stars of the new original TV series ‘Crash’ on Starz Network was rushed to a Manhattan hospital this afternoon. It’s reported that Hopper, age 73, was wearing an oxygen mask and attached to various apparatus when taken into the ER. He had been complaining of severe stomach pain when admitted.

Many of us remember the star for his countless movie roles as well as his Oscar nomination in 1969 when he co-wrote “Easy Rider.” Hopper also received an Oscar nod in '86 for his acclaimed role in the film, “Hoosiers.” Most recently he has appeared as a headliner on the Starz Network original series, “Crash.” The program, which premiered September 18, can be seen on Dish Network satellite TV.
 

October 1 update: while still in the hospital being treated for flu-like symptoms, it appears Dennis will be back on his feet again shortly. Good news for all us Hopper fans!
