THE AVENGERS And TWIN PEAKS Legend Harry Dean Stanton Passes Away At Age 91
It is with a heavy heart that we report today that acclaimed character actor Harry Dean Stanton has passed away at the age of 91. He was best known for his roles in Twin Peaks, Repo Man, & The Avengers.
Multiple sources are reporting that actor Harry Dean Stanton has passed away at the age of 91. He died peacefully this afternoon, amongst family and friends, at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Stanton's legendary career spanned over six decades, ending with nearly 200 credits to his name. After years in the industry, his breakout performance came in 1984 in the drama Paris, Texas, which was also his first role ever as a leading man. He followed that with Repo Man and continued his illustrious career with prominent roles in Twin Peaks, Big Love, Pretty In Pink, Cool Hand Luke, Alien, Wild At Heart, The Green Mile, and a scene-stealing cameo in The Avengers, amongst others.
He most recently reprised his role as Carl Rodd in the Twin Peaks revival and also completed the John Carroll Lynch-directed drama Lucky, in which he stars as an atheist who comes to terms with his own mortality. It is slated to release at the end of this month and will be his final performance.
Stanton was never married, but he has in the past claimed to have "one or two children."
Our deepest condolences to the Stanton family.
