Actor Dennis Hopper has been rushed to a New York hospital after developing flu-like symptoms, according to his publicist Sheila Feren.
Hopper, 73, was brought into an unidentified Manhattan hospital by an ambulance Wednesday afternoon, Feren told the Associated Press.
According to a report from Entertainment Tonight, he was wearing an oxygen mask and had "numerous tubes visible” at the time of his hospital admission.
The legendary Oscar nominee has appeared in such major films as “Easy Rider,” “Hoosiers,” “Speed” and “Apocalypse Now.” He is currently starring on the new STARZ television series “Crash.”
In town to publicize "Crash," he was forced to cancel a number of interviews and television appearances.
All the best wishes to one of Hollywood's more interesting and charismatic actors...from "Gunfight at the OK Corral," to "Blue Velvet," right up to today.
Dennis Hopper is a legend and I hope he gets better soon. i have him as the chosen voice on my GPS in support of him. I got it from Navtones I think there called.
Hop(e) you feel better soon Dennis!
All the way back to Easy Rider with Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda, this man, who also paints and lives in a self-designed house of steel, has remained uniquely himself. He's always been captivating in his easy talent. You never wonder what he's trying to convey. It's not his celebrity. It's his talent.
Dennis Hopper is one of the greatest actors EVER!! life will not be the same with out him. I pray he doesn't have h1n1 and pulls through. I know nothing lasts forever least of all humans....but I just hope we have him around for alot longer!
Thank God, for the REAL Paramedics that work everyday to save the lives of all people here in NYC and beyond, NEVER to be confused with the paramedics on the new TV show TRAUMA on NBC.
I hope Mr. Hopper is recovering and feeling better.
