“With his concave, craggly cheeks and haunted eyes, Harry Dean Stanton was nobody’s idea of a movie star. He looked like hard living personified. Just watching some of his films makes the theater smell like cigarettes. Whether called upon to act kindly, terrifying or just plain exhausted, Stanton was always effortlessly authentic in ways that made other actors seem phony.” – Sean Burns, WBUR Arts & Culture
The Stanton Rule: A Harry Dean Stanton Centennial runs Sunday, July 12 through Mon, July 20.
