Harry Dean Stanton Passed Away at 91 – His Last film “Lucky” Paralleled His Life.
Stanton had a fondness for David Lynch, and Lynch had a fondness for him. He was cast as the ill-fated private detective in “Wild at Heart” and had roles in “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” and the recent reboot of “Twin Peaks: The Return”
He turned down a role in “Blue Velvet,” however, a part later given to Dennis Hopper.
Stanton was never married, though he had a long relationship with Rebecca De Mornay.
One of the most anticipated title is Lucky, actor John Carroll Lynch‘s directorial debut.
Lucky follows a ninety years old atheist, named Lucky, played by Harry Dean Stanton, coming to term with his fragile life and setting off on a journey of self-exploration. The film stares Ed Begley Jr, Ron Livingston, Tom Skerritt, Beth Grant and an appearance by David Lynch.
