Starring Harry Dean Stanton

Featuring Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction (2012), a documentary by Sophie Huber With his lean, hangdog face and sunken, soul-weary eyes, Harry Dean Stanton—born one hundred years ago this month—was one of the all-time great character actors. He inhabited the cinematic margins for more than six decades, imbuing his portrayals of drifters, down-and-outers, mystics, and all-American eccentrics with a singular gravity and offbeat charisma. From his indelible supporting turns in films like Cool Hand Luke , Straight Time , and Wise Blood to his breakthrough roles (in his late fifties) in Paris, Texas and Repo Man , Stanton remained a sui generis, unfailingly authentic presence whose merest glance or gesture hinted at profound existential depths.
