http://www.eonline.com Its on the front page... Eyewitnesses were quoted saying the 73-year-old Hopper was brought into the E.R. wearing an oxygen mask.
Anyone remember the series of commercials with him and some other NFL players for NIKE? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G_8uql9-1IA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G_8uql9-1IA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Awesome actor.

EDIT: I hope he's doing better. Wikipedia already updated their stuff earlier today: On September 30, 2009, news media reported that actor Dennis Hopper has been rushed to a New York hospital for an unspecified condition, according to a report from Entertainment Tonight. Hopper, 73, was reportedly brought into an unidentified Manhattan hospital by an ambulance Monday wearing an oxygen mask and “with numerous tubes visible.” DING DING DING! That is correct, sir. Rep given.
Over 70 - check History of drug and alcohol abuse - check Cigarettes - check Not keeping weight down - check Yet in spite of all this, he made it to 73, which is only 4 or 5 years below the average mortality rate. Not a bad run, not at all. Maybe he'll squeeze out a couple of years and make the average, which would be amazing all things considered.
RIP, dam deaths do come in bunches...wonder who is next? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100529/people_nm/us_hopper_1
