Offscreen Notes
Harry Dean Stanton (RIP), age 91
Seventy-five years after he smoked his first cigarette as he told us in Twin Peaks The Return character actor extraordinaire Harry Dean Stanton dies on September 15, 2017. Wow. Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, The Intruders, Two-Lane Backdrop, The Godfather 2, Farewell, My Lovely, Straight Time, Alien, Escape from New York, Christine, Repo Man, Paris Texas, The Last Temptation of Christ, Wild at Heart, The Straight Story, The Good Life, and Twin Peaks: The Return. A man who epitomized cool by just being. An actor who seems to have never done the proverbial “dial one in” with a role. A director’s dream. An actor’s friend. A cinephile’s confidant.
