Advance Praise for “Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel”

“Well researched, well written, and highly entertaining, ‘Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel’ is an engrossing look at one of Hollywood's most colorful legends.”
–Warren Beath, author of “The Death of James Dean”

"Dennis Hopper exploded in our midst like a firecracker thrown from a dark shadow in a passing car. Peter Winkler's new biography of the counter-culture symbol, first across the finish line since the actor's death, is full of tough research and interviews, and reads as fast and furious as the man." 
–Patrick McGilligan, author of "Jack's Life" (a biography of Jack Nicholson) and "Nicholas Ray: The Glorious Failure of an American Director"

"A readable and remarkably even-handed chronicle of one of Hollywood's wildest cards. Peter L. Winkler knows his subject–and the territory–and he objectively delivers the goods on Dennis Hopper."
–Stephen M. Silverman, author of "David Lean" and "The Fox That Got Away: The Last Days of the Zanuck Dynasty at 20th Century Fox”
