Requiescat In Pace: Harry Dean Stanton

Veteran character actor Harry Dean Stanton has passed away at 91.  I will always recall him in this riveting scene from Red Dawn (1984).  A World War II veteran, he appeared in over 184 films and endless television shows.  Whatever political beliefs he had, he kept to himself, unlike many in his profession.  I will miss him.

That was the very scene I have always think of when I thought of him at all. Next was Repo Man. He was good in Escape from New York too.

David Lynch put him to good use in INLAND EMPRE a few years ago. And he was great as the patriarch of the Juniper Creek polygamists in Big Love.
