We Have a Wiener!!!


Well....Well.....Well.......
if it isn't Mr. James Farrell back in the Wiener's Circle again this week!
He was just minutes in front of many this week with the correct answer.....
Mr. Dennis Hopper.
Only a couple of Paul Newman guesses.....but this one was easier than I anticipated!
  • Mr. Hopper was nominated for the screenwriting piece of "Easy Rider" and for Best Supporting Actor in "Hoosiers" (great role).
  • An avid art collector who bought one of Andy Warhol's "Campbell Soup" originals for $75.
  • Married to former "The Mamas & the Papas" singer Michelle Phillips for 8 days....before she filed for divorce.
  • Hopper's quote about this brief marriage was...."the first 7 days were great!"
  • Currently diagnosed with advanced Prostate Cancer....
  • Pretty impressive resume....
