Cult actor Harry Dean Stanton dies at 91
A Kentucky native, he was born at West Irvine
BBC reports that "Actor Harry Dean Stanton, known for his roles in films like The Godfather II, Alien and Cool Hand Luke, has died of natural causes at the age of 91.
The Kentucky-born star had a career which spanned more than six decades, appearing in dozens of films, including 1984's Paris, Texas and Repo Man.
More recently, he appeared in the hit HBO show Big Love, and this year's revival of the cult classic Twin Peaks.
Stanton's last role was in Lucky - a film to be released later this month.
He died at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Friday, his agent John Kelly said in a statement.
He said Stanton was 'beloved in the entertainment industry' and earned a reputation for his "meticulous preparation" and easygoing personality.
Twin Peaks creator David Lynch, who cast Stanton in his films The Straight Story, Inland Empire and Wild at Heart, among others, said: 'There's nobody like Harry Dean. Everyone loved him. And with good reason. He was a great actor (actually beyond great) - and a great human being - so great to be around him!!!' "
The Estill native was born at West Irvine

Harry Dean StantonStanton was named to the Estill County Hall of Honor in 2010:
Harry Dean Stanton was born July 14, 1926 in a house in West Irvine, Kentucky, the son of Ersel Moberly Stanton, a hair dresser, and Sheridan Harry “Shorty” Stanton, a tobacco farmer and barber. His parents divorced when he was in high school and later re-married. He has two younger brothers, Archie and Ralph, and a younger half-brother, Stan. Harry attended Lafayette High School in Lexington and went on to study journalism and radio arts at the University of Kentucky. He also studied at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, California, where his classmates included his friends, Tyler MacDuff and Dana Andrews.
Harry is a US Navy veteran of World War II, serving as a cook aboard an LST during the Battle of Okinawa.
While he is a singer with The Harry Dean Stanton Band and plays venues around Los Angeles, Harry is most notably an actor. In fact, Entertainment Weekly has called him “perhaps the greatest character actor alive.” He has appeared in over 100 movies and 50 television shows, and is still going strong at age 84. Appearing the last few years in HBO’s acclaimed Big Love has earned Harry some of his best reviews. In 2011, look for Harry in This Must Be the Place with Sean Penn and Frances McDormand, Art’s Demise with Val Kilmer and Michael Madsen, and as a character voice in the animated Rango starring fellow Kentucky native Johnny Depp.
Some of Harry Dean’s most notable roles have been in such films as: Paris, Texas, Repo Man, Alien, One Magic Christmas, Escape from New York, and Pretty in Pink. Harry’s list of friends is a veritable “who’s who” of Hollywood, but he takes it all in stride. One-time love interest but lifelong friend Rebecca De Mornay said of Harry, “It’s hard to find an actor who doesn’t admire him. They need to be around him because, in terms of being true to himself, he's such the real thing. He just is who he is.” One interesting point of trivia that makes Harry grin is that Debbie Harry’s lyric, “'I want that man, I want to dance with Harry Dean” was about him.
Harry Dean has been a source of pride for Estill Countians for decades, exemplifying that even someone from little ol’ Estill County can “run with the big dogs.” Regardless of all his fame and notoriety, Harry has never shunned his Estill County roots. Upon watching the movie “Fire Down Below” starring Steven Seagal, one can see that Harry’s character “Cotton Harry” uses mannerisms and sayings borrowed from his Estill County family. He was very close to his Aunt Beulah Richardson of Irvine, calling her often to catch up, and Beulah would never miss a showing of one of his films on television. Harry once said, “I was born on the edge of the mountains in Kentucky and now although I live in Hollywood I still feel more related to nature. It's an attitude.”

Pallbearers were Mike Pinkston, Gage Pinkston, Kyle Noland, Jonathan Walters, Ray Noland, Jonathan Newton, and David Newton.
Fred worked part time while in high school and during summers for Farm & Home Supply and Orville Meade which was just across the street from where he lived. After graduation from high school, he trained and then worked for L&N railroad as an operation agent and worked depots and operator offices from Ravenna to Neon, Kentucky on on the Eastern KY Division. In 1950, when an automatic block system eliminated operators for train running orders, his "Uncle Sam" gave him a job by being drafted in the first draft since the end of World War II, for the Korean Conflict. He served in the Army for over two years and was an active reserve another 4 years before receiving his honorable discharge with the rank of Sgt.
After military service, he went to work for Union Carbide Nuclear, a subcontractor for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and went through their training school and then helped start up a new plant at Paducah. After the Paducah plant was fully operational, he left Union Carbide and took a position with Goodyear Atomic Corp., another contractor for USAEC at a new plant being built north of Portsmouth, Ohio. He taught plant operations for nine months while the plant was under construction, and when the first unit was turned over to Goodyear, he took a crew and actually threw the switch to start the first unit of one of the world's largest chemical plants. He carried a top secret ID signed by the FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover the entire time he worked for USAEC. After 20 years of productdion and the Cold War cooling, th AEC began reducing the work force and he was laid off. Fred then took a position with Cabot Corp. at a new plant in Ashtabula, Ohio as a production supervisor. They produced titantium tetrachloride and titanium dioxide. The tetrachloride was produced for sale to outside primarily for producing the metal. The dioxide is the whitest of pigments used in the manufacture of paper, paints, and rubber cosmetics. He worked for Cabot and several other companies who operated the plant; then, after 30 years, he retired.
From a very early age, he loved the outdoors and developed a passion for hunting and fishing which lasted a lifetime. He became very good at both and held a commercial fishing license while in high school. He took up golf when nearly 50 years of age and in a short time was repairing and making his own clubs. This soon turned into doing the same for his golfing friends. This turned into a business-hobby he operated from the basement of his home, called "Sweet Spot Golf." He collected wooden shaft clubs and old classics and had several hundred when he closed shop. He also sold clubs through the mail to almost all states and several foreign countries.
Fred was an avid Kentucky Wildcats fan and followed them over 75 years. Before TV, he would drive his car to the point of best reception to get Cawood Ledford and the Cats. His Ohio license plate was "KYCAT1" which he had for over 25 years. He was a Kentucky Colonel for many years.
He was also a member of the Masonic Fraternity for over 60 years. He was a member of Orient Lodge #321 F&AM at Waverly, Ohio, where he served as Master during their centennial year in 1960. He also held dual membership with Rising Sun Lodge #22 F&AM at Ashtabula, Ohio. He also had belonged to York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shrine and Grotto. He, along with his wife Carole, were members of the Order of Eastern Star for over 50 years.

Education was important to Charlotte and she graduated as High School Valedictorian from Harrisburg High School and graduated with honors from the University of Illinois in 1947, with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Home Economics. Charlotte lived close to home and her Illinois roots until she married Bazel Crowe in 1945 and they soon began traveling the globe. By the time the family moved from Illinois to Florida, Charlotte was a full-time mother to three children. Throughout the family’s travels around the world, Charlotte taught high school in Guam and worked in the main office of a mining and exploration company in Bougainville, Papua, New Guinea. The family also lived in Jamaica, Australia and Egypt. While teaching her own three children an appreciation of the diversity of cultures throughout the world, Charlotte and family embarked on numerous adventures, traveling twice around the world, not on today’s luxury liners but as passengers on freighters. Finally, they settled in Houston, Texas, where Charlotte and Bazel made their home for over 44 years. Charlotte was the office manager and right hand to her husband in his civil engineering business until they retired to enjoy a quiet life in Houston. Charlotte enjoyed her family as well as cooking, sewing and knitting.
Charlotte is survived by her husband, Bazel; her children, Robert, Sandra Grant, and Richard (Janet); her five grandchildren, Rachel, Walter, Michael, Kristina and Scott; and her brother, Donald Neville (Jane).
She is preceded in death by her parents and three of her four siblings, Harriet Neville Limper, Howard Neville, Virginia Neville Saup; and by her son-in-law, George Grant; and daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Crowe.
In her later years, Charlotte indicated that the love and friendship of family and friends were very important to her. She said that she preferred to enjoy the many wonderful people in her life while she was still alive to enjoy them rather than having a memorial service when she would not be able to attend. So, Thank You to everyone who made Charlotte's life a happy one.
