Dennis Hopper, Beatnik

Dennis Hopper as Alan Landman, beatnik from New York City, visiting Hooterville. From the January 7, 1964 episode ("Bobbie Jo and the Beatnik") of "Petticoat Junction written by the great Bill Manhoff.

I went to the whitney museum Beatnik exhibit at the Walker art center.Dennis Hopper owned 2/3 of the art.

I like to think this was the same character Denis Hopper played in Apocalypse Now.

Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet" elvolves from "Petticoat Junction." Dennis Hopper might be gone but his magnifence will never vanish.

Still dreaming.

If this was an example of what a Beat Nik is, I'm wish I was around in the 50s so I could have a good laugh at these clowns trying to act "hip" when it truly was only just a bunch of people with over inflated egos. This is what was considered to be "cool" in the 50? It's hilarious is what it is.
