Dennis Hopper at one time was a real favorite of mine. Not as much now. The ads for an investment company has soured him in my eye.
He sold out.
Few have the nerve and balls to say what they mean and mean what they say.
Hopper and my first meeting was on "Paris Trout". I was thrilled to be working with him.
At the time he was giving Don Johnson hell about not helping to promote their movie "Two Moon Junction". Which I think is a really good movie. His son Henry Lee Hopper was born while we were working on "Paris Trout". So we all got to hear Hopper talk a lot about life.
I just never thought he would sell his soul for an insurance company.
A friendly correction: Johnson and Hopper made The Hot Spot not that movie; and frankly, sobriety, old age and four or five ex-wives (alimony?) may have lead him to do the insurance ads.

"...a potpourri blog... a mash-up of retro stars, LA stories, forgotten details, well-worn memories, breaking scoops, all mixed in with a little spritz of analysis. (And damn---excellent grammar and sentence structure from our host!! That you certainly won't find on too many media blogs.)" --Anonymous commenter, 10.24.07
"Dear Burt: While you always had quite a flair for the dramatic, you never had much regard for the truth... Apparently you can't be bothered to read anything carefully. Maybe that is why you, like O'Reilly, make half your crap up.
Glad to hear you finally got sober." -- Barry Nolan, 04.12.08
"Hey! Who said Burt got sober?" -- Tabloid Baby, 04.12.08
