下の記事で紹介した通りハリウッド・ウォーク・オブ・フェイムの星を授与されたデニス・ホッパーですが、式典には盟友とも言えるヴィゴ・モーテンセンも出席していました。
デニスとヴィゴは「インディアン・ランナ－」で共演していますが、この作品は今やオスカー俳優であるショーン･ペンの初監督作品でした。いわゆる「反逆児」というレッテルを貼られるようなタイプの人物の心情を細かくおった良い作品でした。
ヴィゴのスピーチからは彼のデニスへの熱い思いが伝わってきます。
＞Dennis Hopper's friend Viggo Mortensen spoke at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Friday (Mar. 26).
A frail and gaunt Dennis sat on the podium, his hand and head bandaged by a fall caused Thursday by a shouting paparazzi outside his home as Viggo spoke of his friend's candor, artistry, curiousity, strength, and fearlessness.
"'Why do you say that? Where did that come from? Who did it first? Why does it matter? Maybe I'm wrong. I love you.' Those are some of the phrases likely to come out of his mouth at any time," said Viggo.
Dennis, who is terminally ill with prostate cancer and in a bitter divorce from his third wife, Victoria Duffy, spoke briefly afterward, explaining his injuries from the fall and expressing his gratitude for this honor and for his career and the life it afforded him.
If you look closely at the video, you will see Dennis' "Easy Rider" costar Jack Nicholson standing behind the podium, wearing his trademark shades.
Like the passing tour bus driver with a load ot tourists shouted, "We love you, Dennis!"
As do we all.
