Dennis Hopper - Daddy Cool, Part One
He was mates with James Dean, ate pasta with Orson Welles and smoked dope with Sam Peckinpah. Now Dennis Hopper's played Frank Sinatra. Any cooler and he'd be Greenland.

Farewell, Jack Shepherd. I doubt much attention will be paid to his work in the highly entertaining No Escape in the coming days. Still, I rather like the fact that Det. Supt. Wycliffe shared the screen with Mafia snitch Henry Hill. #jackshepherd

Re: Variety forgetting Life Of Brian's a comedy movie masterpiece, here's my piece on the making of the film which ran in Neon magazine in those ancient days known as the 1990s... richardluck.substack.com/p/the-neon-b...
