Dennis Hopper

Actor Dennis Hopper has been released from a NYC hospital after receiving treatment for dehydration, which had caused him stomach pains.  In a statement, a rep for Hopper said “Dennis is now back in his hotel room and feeling much better.  He would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and he looks forward to getting back to work.”

The 73 year old Hopper was rushed to a NYC hospital after complaining of symptoms generally associated with the flu.  Hopper, an Oscar winner,  was in New York promoting his new show Crash, an adaptation of a 2006 movie.

Based on Albert and David Maysles’ 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens is about “Big Edie” and her daughter, “Little Edie,” relatives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis who were discovered living in squalor on Long Island in the early 1970s. The documentary chronicles the conditions in which they lived and the heavily codependent relationship between mother and daughter.

The HBO movie further examines the lives of the Beales’, taking from Little Edie’s diaries which follows their earlier lives as a part of Manhattan’s high society to their gradual retreat to their summer home in he Hamptons.

“Grey Gardens” won the Emmy for best made-for-TV movie, and Ken Howard won best supporting actor in a movie or miniseries. Also nominated were Drew Barrymore, who played Little Edie, and Jeanne Tripplehorn, who played Jackie.
