LOS ANGELES — Famed US actor Dennis Hopper, who starred in such cinematic classics as “Easy Rider” and “Apocalypse Now,” is dying of cancer, his lawyer said in court documents out Thursday.

Attorney Joseph Mannis said that Hopper was too weak to be questioned by his wife’s attorney in a bitter ongoing divorce settlement, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday and obtained by KTLA television Thursday.

However Hopper, 73, will still attend a ceremony in his honor for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The court filing said his physician David Agus found that Hopper weighs less than 100 pounds (45 kg) as he battles prostate cancer.
