RIP Harry Dean Stanton

[LVSteve]

Mr Gaunt as I called him passed today at 91. He was in more movies than I care to think of, but I'll always remember him as the first victim in Alien.

I also think of him as the lifer in The Green Mile that they used for practicing the electrocutions. He had himself a good long life at least. 91 ain't no spring chicken for sure.

R.I.P. Harry Dean Stanton...you gave us some memorable characters. A couple of my favorites were Bud in "Repoman" and Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen's Dad in the original "Red Dawn"

Burt (or was it Curt) in Rancho Deluxe.

" Miz Brown says Hoover, I just Hoover."

"She was almost like...Bambi."

"You are the only ones we've talked to, so you're the rustlers."

He added something special to everything we was in.
Like this Dwight Yoakum Video.
There is another well known character actor in this well done video.
Do you like that Ford?

Harry Dean Stanton was in so many movies. When i think of him I always remember him in Cool Hand Luke.

What an actor and what a career he had. That's Curt on the right and Burt on the left in Rancho Deluxe, one of the funniest and cleverest movies I have ever seen. HDS was a big part of that.

I didn't recognize the name but the face I saw in many movies. He was an actor with his own style. I remember him quite often smiling, his sense of humor, in his movies. I didn't know he sang, he had a good voice as well.

Here he is singing the perfect song remembering him.

Here is another video of him showing his humor and talents.

Rancho Deluxe!
Bo Bridges, Sam Waterson, Slim Pickens, Warren Oakes, Jimmy Buffet, and a bunch of other actors, and HDS!
Modern day Cattle Rustling! A Bull in a motel room!
If you haven't seen it, do it!

He made any character he played a real person. I liked him.

 

[walkin jack]

One of the most versatile character actors ever. He always turned in an excellent performance. As others have said his list of movies is long and I think I've probably seem most of them. he will be missed.

 

[PALADIN85020]

I didn't recognize the name, but the face was quite familiar, given the number of movies he's been in. Didn't know about his singing, but he was quite good. Always sad when a real talent passes on. R.I.P., Mr. Stanton. You led a good life.

He made every movie he was in better.

Harry Dean Stanton was a totally unique individual, both as an actor and as a person.

When asked about life once, he replied, "It gets tiresome after a while."

Harry Dean Stanton's final film, Lucky, is due for release on September 29.

There's also a great documentary about him titled Partly Fiction.

Maybe the weirdest movie HDS was in was Paris, Texas.
I don't think that I really 'got it' the first time I saw it.
It's on Utube, I'm watching it right now.
