\"DennisDennis Hopper<\/a>, the director, actor and artist who doctors say is battling terminal cancer, is scheduled to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/a> on Friday.<\/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 star is in front of the Egyptian Theatre. Actor Viggo Mortensen and producer Marc Canton were scheduled to attend the ceremony at 11:30 a.m.<\/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<\/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
