The Hollywood landscape is littered with tragedies, broken promise and self-destruction. Many promising artists stumble once and never recover from that initial fall. In the history of American film, there has never been a phoenix-like story of survival and rebirth quite like that of Dennis Hopper.

Surrounded by some of the film, art and political world's most significant players: James Dean, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Martin Luther King, Marlon Brando, John Wayne, Miles Davis, and dozens of other legendary names; Hopper discusses his impressions and interactions with them all in Part 1 of this expose of Hollywood history.

Dennis Hopper was played by Vernon Scott. He can be found on Facebook.
