Prolific actor Harry Dean Stanton has passed away at the age of 91 of natural causes on Friday in Los Angeles. He recently appeared in the Twin Peaks revival on Showtime, and his latest film, Lucky, will be released on September 29th. He still has one more credit in post-production. Stanton's first role as a leading man was in 1984's Paris, Texas when he was 58. Roger Ebert said of his performance, “Stanton has long inhabited the darker corners of American noir, with his lean face and hungry eyes, and here he creates a sad poetry.”
Stanton appeared in many movies and television shows in his long career, including Alien, Pretty in Pink, and Big Love. In addition to his acting career, Stanton was a musician, fronting the Harry Dean Stanton Band. Stanton even sang at Hunter S. Thompson's funeral. Stanton was a lifelong bachelor.
