<\/br><\/span>To the cheers of fans and family members, a smiling Dennis Hopper<\/a> received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/a>\u00a0on Friday.<\/p>\n

Many of Hopper’s Hollywood friends were in attendance, including Jack Nicholson<\/a>, director David Lynch and singer Johnny Mathis. <\/p>\n

Hopper thanked them for giving him a thrilling career. "You gave me a life I would never have seen as a boy from Dodge City, Kansas," he said.<\/p>\n

Hopper, who is battling what his doctors have described as terminal cancer, was helped onto the stage. His hand and forehead were bandaged, the result, he said, of a fall on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Actor Viggo Mortensen and producer Marc Canton offered tributes to the actor, recounting his storied career as an actor, director and artist.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Hopper, who has starred in numerous movies including "Speed," "Blue Velvet" and "Hoosiers," also co-wrote and directed "Easy Rider." <\/p>\n

Hopper’s battle with cancer has become public because it’s coinciding with his divorce proceedings. According to court papers<\/a>, the actor weighs about 100 pounds, but his doctors said he’s healthy enough to attend the ceremony.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Hopper, 73, and his wife, Victoria, have been locked in a bitter feud since the actor, director and artist filed to end the couple’s nearly 14-year marriage in January.<\/p>\n
