 Dennis Hopper: Prays for Obama's victory
The US actor-director Dennis Hopper, who is best known for the 1969 movie "Easy Rider", said on Monday that he is praying for Barack Obama's victory in next month's elections.
At the opening of a show on his life and work at the Paris cinematheque, Dennis Hopper told, "I voted for Bush, father and son, but this time I'll vote for Obama".
Dennis Hopper is to be handed France's order of Commander of Arts and Letters by the culture minister later on Monday.
He criticised the current administration and told, "I was the first person in my family to have been Republican. For most of my life I wasn't on the left. I pray God, Barack Obama is elected".
The exhibition on Dennis Hopper's life includes his films as well as paintings and photographs, and works from his own art collection, including pieces by Andre Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Roy Lichtenstein. |
