Manager: Dennis Hopper 'better,' out of hospital
NEW YORK (AP) - October 1, 2009 Sam Maydew said in a statement Thursday that the 73-year-old
"Easy Rider" star had gone to a New York City hospital after
showing severe flulike symptoms. Maydew says Hopper was treated for
dehydration.
The actor was in New York on a publicity trip and had been
forced to cancel a number of interviews and TV appearances
Wednesday.
His current project is "Crash," a TV version of the
Oscar-winning 2004 film. He plays maniacal music producer Ben
Cendars on the series, which airs on the Starz network.
Maydew says Hopper is grateful for the well wishes and looks
forward to getting back to work on "Crash."
