Harry Dean Stanton
Actor; one of the greats -- via TMZ. Started out as a character actor, playing bad guys and weirdos in such films as Kelly's Heroes, Alien, and Escape from New York; his back-to-back roles in Repo Man and Paris, Texas revealed how much he could do. Pretty in Pink, The Last Temptation of Christ, Wild at Heart, and on TV in Big Love and Twin Peaks -- he worked with all the best. And now, his final film, Lucky, is coming out, and it looks to be great.
