The legendary Dennis Hopper (1936-2010) had many identities. He
first broke into Hollywood as a fresh-faced young actor in the
1950s, redefined himself as a rebel director with "Easy Rider" in
the late 1960s, and became a bad boy outcast for much of the 1970s.
He returned in the 1980s with standout performances in films like
"Blue Velvet" and "Hoosiers," was one of the great blockbuster
baddies of the 1990s, and ended his career as a ubiquitous actor in
genre movies.Hopper, however, was much more than just an actor and
director: he was also a photographer, a painter, and an art
collector--not to mention a longtime hedonist who kicked his
addiction to drugs and alcohol and became a poster boy for
sobriety."Dennis Hopper: Interviews" covers every decade of his
career, featuring conversations from 1957 through to 2009, and not
only captures him at the significant points of his tumultuous time
in Hollywood but also focuses on the lesser-known aspects of the
man. In this fascinating and highly entertaining volume--the first
ever collection of Hopper's interviews--he talks in depth about
film, photography, art, and his battles with substance abuse and,
in one instance, even takes the role of interviewer as he talks
with Quentin Tarantino.
