One of America's most intriguing show-business luminaries and true rebels,Dennis Hopper's amazing life was a roller-coaster series of triumphs and failures Always intent on proving his genius and leaving a legacy,the Emmy and Oscar-nominated Hopper acted in more than 115 movies
and four TV series,directed seven films,and passionately pursued an artist's life as a photographer and creator and collector of modern art,
embracing the work of artists like Warhol and Lichtenstein before the label pop art was even coined.
'Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel' explores Hopper's life from his lonely childhood in Kansas,where he became determined to
win the affection of others by becoming a great artist,to his often
drug-fueled days and nights in Hollywood and his spiritual home in Taos,New Mexico.From Hopper's early days in Hollywood,where he had an affair with 16-year-old Natalie Wood
and took acting lessons from James Dean while making 'Rebel Without a Cause' and 'Giant',his 60's head trips and the making of 'Easy Rider',the crushing failure of 'The Last Movie' and his lost years in Taos,to his recovery and political right turn in the 80's,'Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood
Rebel' unsparingly documents his journey from a self-destructive bad boy to a reformed member of the Hollywood establishment and iconic survivor of the counter-culture.The book also delves into Hopper's tumultuous personal life,including his dramatic attempt to divorce his last wife while he battled terminal cancer.This is the first book to cover the entire life and career of the man who hung out with James Dean,Elvis Presley,and Jack Nicholson,co-starred in and directed
'Easy Rider',and came back big in
'Blue Velvet',overcoming years of alcoholism and drug addiction.
