Dennis Hopper Receives Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

A very frail-looking Dennis Hopper has accepted his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday. The Oscar nominee, who is battling prostate cancer and an acrimonious divorce from soon-to-be wife Victoria Duffy, arrived in a wheelchair to receive the 2,403rd star.

The 73-year-old veteran star was greeted by fans and supported by his fellow film superstars, including Jack Nicholson, Viggo Mortensen, David Lunch, and Michael Madsen.

Hopper thanked Hollywood for being his "home" and "schooling," saying, "Everything I learned in life I learned from you and the wonderful world that I traveled and saw… well, I got it all from you.. This has been my home and my school. And I love all of you. I just want to thank you."

"This means so much to me, and thank you very much, everyone."

Hopper has been given permission by his doctors to attend the ceremony. His 7-year-old daughter Galen and 19-year-old son Henry were also there to celebrate the honor.
