RIP Harry Dean Stanton (No Harry Dean Stanton? He left for the great desert in the sky...)*

That's just brilliant. Made my day.

Salut, Harry

 

He was great in the film Cool Hand Luke, I think there's only two cast members still living, Morgan Woodward and Joe Don Baker.

 

NO!

 

Hilarious scene with Harry & Warren Oates,
in (Two Lane Blacktop?)

"I'm not into that!"

 

RIP

 

One of the great character actors. There are tons of films I enjoyed his work in, even though my mind tends to automatically think of him as Brett from Alien.

RIP

 

RIP. No one like him - love him particularly in WILD AT HEART. Just like the great singers, you believe what you are experiencing when he is there.

 

Nicholson also did this on "Drive, He Said" and "The King of Marvin Gardens."
RIP HDS.

 

I liked his cameo in Avengers. I think I saw him in something more recently but can't remember what.

and Mitchum's Farewell My Lovely

 

I haven't seen much mention of Lynch's "The Straight Story" among all of the other worthy remembrances here and elsewhere, but that final scene with his somehow knowing cry of "Alvin?" is a legitimate lump in the throat moment from these quarters. RIP, Mr. Stanton.

Aaron

 

Sad news though not unexpected seeing how he looked on Twin Peaks The Return. So soon after Sam Shepard too. Paris, Texas is one of my favorite films of all time.

 

Lucky

 

I saw a preview screening of Lucky and it is excellent. Stanton's performance is great.

 

Thanks!! This is on our list for sure.

 

Saw Lucky last night in the theatre and it was excellent. So glad he had the chance to show off his talent one last time in a featured role.

 

We saw Lucky--go see it of you can. He's just so good.

 

Watched Lucky last night, love it!

 

Finally, an action figure of Harry Dean Stanton as Brett from "Alien" is being released later this year to tie in with the film's 40th anniversary.

 

Add me to the list who have seen Lucky. The scene with Tom Skerritt was cool. Enjoyed the mariachi birthday part a lot too!

 

I was lucky enough to see his band, Harry Dean Stanton & The Cheap Dates, featuring Slim Jim Phantom and Jeff Baxter (on pedal steel, not 6-string electric) in San Francisco.
