R.I.P Harry Dean Stanton

Harry Dean passed away. I am sad. I'm glad he lived so long and exactly in the way he wanted to. He's the last of an era of character actors who could make all writers sound brilliant and all directors look deeply intuitive. But it was he who was able to reach out and touch us, tap us, prod us into firecrackers and firebombs of emotion. He was a scientist of behavior. I've watched "Paris, Texas" thirty times, for sure. It is one of my all time favorites and he levitates in it. I am sad. The last time I saw HD was at Sean Penn's birthday. He sang a song for us in Spanish. His vibrato that night came like rolling waves, and I felt a young flamenco dancer click her heels away on my heart. He sang not just beautifully, he sang deeply. Where's everyone going? All these greats. All these wonderful people turning to angels. #ripharrydeanstanton
