Dennis Hopper , who was a fellow member of the famed Actors Studio, has left us for another stage in his famous and turbulent career, but he was and will always be  held close to us all . I remember  seeing him at Golds Gym in Venice  in the 1990's after he had appeared on Inside the Actors Studio in NY  with James Lipton  ,where I  was an audience member. So since we had known each other , I walked over to him and  told him that he was so inspirational and his clarity was awesome and he responded in a very nice manner and said "Really, I was? I don't remember at thing" . As we say in the world of Method acting he was totally in the moment. He studied with Lee Strasberg whom many of us were lucky to have known and studied with back in the day.

Thanks  for the friendship and fond memories ,Dennis. We will miss you
