Dennis Hopper

According to multiple reports, Dennis Hopper is on his deathbed at the University of Southern California hospital after the prostate cancer he has fought for years spread to his bones.

Hopper, 73, is also using his final hours to divorce his wife, 43-year-old Victoria Hopper. Papers filed in Los Angeles cite “irreconcilable differences.”  Family friends say its more about the cutting her out of Hopper’s will.

The actor/photographer/writer/director has had a long and often troubled career. For many, he will be remembered most for Easy Rider although he made dozens of films over the year and appeared a couple of years ago in a short-lived TV series on NBC and more recently on the Starz series Crash.
