Post by: Lord Undies on May 29, 2010, 07:11:18 PM: What about Lena Horne? Her passing on May 9th was an extraordinary milestone. She was an incredibly beautiful talent.

My favorite Dennis Hopper story is about when Dennis and Michelle Phillips married in Peru back in 1970 during the filming of "The Last Movie". Dennis got high and crazy on their wedding day. He took Michelle's passport away and forbade Michelle and Chynna to leave the apartment where they were staying during the filming. After a day or two of abuse, Michelle called her ex-husband and Chynna's father, John Phillips, to come to the rescue. John got them both out of country. Michelle had her marriage to Dennis Hopper ended on it's eighth day.

Michelle's first name is Holly. John had much fun in his biography referring to Michelle as Holly Hopper.

R.I.P Mr. Hopper.
