...on the same day his doctor revealed in court papers that the actor was terminally ill with prostate cancer. Hopper poses with his daughter at the Walk of Fame ceremony. Looking gaunt and frail, actor Dennis Hopper got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Friday - and "Easy Rider" co-star Jack Nicholson was by his side.
Hopper was recognized on the same day that court records revealed his prostate cancer is terminal - and that he is too weak for chemotherapy.
The 73-year-old arrived at the ceremony with a bandage on his forehead, the result of a fall.
His familiar grin was there, and his blue eyes lit up at the sight of young daughter Galen and granddaughter Violet horsing around.
Hopper thanked Hollywood for being "my home and my schooling" and shook hands with David Lynch, who directed him in "Blue Velvet."
Hopper and his fifth wife, Victoria, have been locked in a divorce battle since January.
In a court filing, Hopper's doctor revealed the actor weighs less than 100 pounds and warned that being forced to testify "could threaten his survival."
This is kinda sad. That bastard Nicholson in the fullest of health sitting besides him. Guess he'll outlive his buddy.
