1960s and 1970s
After a series of supporting roles in the mid-1960s, Hopper had a hit with Easy Rider. The film had great success, but Hopper's personal life was in turmoil. His marriage to Brooke Hayward ended and he reportedly had trouble collaborating with co-star Peter Fonda and his editing team. His follow-up film, The Last Movie, was met with confusion and negative reviews. The following decade saw two more failed marriages and a notorious abuse of drugs and alcohol. Author Peter Biskind claims that in the late 1970s, Hopper was consuming three grams of cocaine and 30 beers per day. -
1980s and Beyond
Hopper entered a drug rehabilitation program in 1983. He had a resurgence as an actor in Speed. He was cast as a villain in Waterworld and the first season of 24. He stars as an aging music producer in the television version of Crash, which airs Fridays on the Starz network. -
