Dennis Hopper, who was described as "Easy Rider's" biker Billy and "Blue Velvet's", died of cancer Saturday morning at his home in Venice, California．He was 74．
Hopper, who was diagnosed with cancer last October, was surrounded by his children and wife when he died．The American film star made his last public appearance on March 26, 2010, when his star was addressed on Hollywood's Walk of Fame．
Dennis Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas, on May 17, 1936．He grew up in San Diego, California, and got an early reputation for stage work．Making his way to Hollywood while still in his teens, he quickly earned roles in several films and TV shows, including "Rebel Without a Cause" （1955）, in which he met James Dean, who became a friend and life-long model．
Hopper maintained a somewhat not smooth career through the mid-60s．But it was 1967s．"The Trip", directed by "King of the B's" Roger Corman, that made the actor popular with audience and two of his "Easy Rider" colleagues, actor Peter Fonda and "The Trip" writer Jack Nicholson．
In early 1968, Hopper led the group through his own low-budget film, a biker road movie about two riders who travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans．"Easy Rider" was finally released in the summer of 1969, and was very popular after 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Graduate", the breakthrough that set free the baby boomer generation on Hollywood．
The film, made on the fly by Hopper and co-star Fonda for less than $ 500,000, became one of the most popular movies of its time．
Among his recent roles were a villain （反面人物） in the TV series "24" and an officer in the short-lived TV show "E-Ring"．He was starring in the TV version of the Oscar-winning film "Crash" at his death, playing a record producer．He was named a chevalier （功勋人物） of France's Order of Arts and Letters in 2008．

Three-Dimensional （3D） movies have been becoming more and more popular in recent years．It seems 3D TV sets may be going into family households in the near future．While new digital 3D technology has made the experience more comfortable for many, for some with eye problems, long 3D viewing may result in an aching head, doctors say．
"There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, which under normal situations, the brain deals with naturally," said Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmologist （眼科医师） in Chicago．He said in a 3D movie, these people face a completely new sensory experience．"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," Rosenberg told Reuters．
In normal vision, each eye sees things at a slightly different angle．"When that gets processed in the brain, that creates the perception （感觉） of depth," said Dr Deborah Friedman, an ophthalmologist in New York．The images people see in three dimensions in the movies are not calibrated （校准的） in the same way that their eyes and brain are．"If your eyes are a little off to begin with, then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs
to exert （竭尽全力）," he said．
Dr John Hagan, a Kansas City ophthalmologist, said some people who do not have normal depth perception cannot see in 3D at all．He said people with eye muscle problems, in which the eyes are not pointed at the same object, have trouble processing 3D images．
Rock Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, a provider of 3D equipment to theaters, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off．
Heineman said older 3D technology used two film projectors（放映机）, one that projected a left-eye image and one that projected a right-eye image．Three-D glasses would allow viewers to see a different image in each eye．
"People often complained of headaches and it was really because the projectors weren’t lined up," Heineman said．
Now his company has developed a new single digital projector, which switches between the left and the right-eye image 144 times a second, to help overcome some of the old problems．
"By going to a single digital projector, those problems were solved," he said．Friedman said he thinks most people will do fine with 3D movies and with 3D TVs, but Rosenberg said people may quickly tire of the novelty （新鲜事物）．"I suspect there will be a lot of people who say it's sort of neat, but it's not really comfortable," he said．
