Dennis Hopper honored with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Los Angeles, March 27 (DPA) - Cancer-stricken actor Dennis Hopper was honored Friday with a star on Hollywood's walk of fame.





The actor, 73, is reportedly too weak to continue chemotherapy for his advanced prostate cancer. But he received permission from his doctor to attend the short ceremony recognizing his contribution to more than 150 movies.





Hopper began his career in the 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause and is most famous for his role in the 1969 counter-culture movie, Easy Rider.

'Everything I learned in life I learned from you,' a frail-looking Hopper told the crowd. 'This means so much to me. Thank you very much everyone, and Hollywood.'

Bloody Ribcut, I must say that your avatar is wonderful. Brigitte Helm as the Robot Maria in Metropolis is one of my all-time favorite performances.

Good for him, the dude definitely deserves the recognition, although a star on the Walk of Fame has to be the most meaningless honor ever. Judge Judy has a star for fuck's sake.
