Katherine LaNasa: Dennis Hopper's Ghost Wouldn't Leave Me
18 Jun
Summary
- Actress Katherine LaNasa experienced persistent visits from Dennis Hopper's ghost.
- Hopper's ghost initially appeared in frightening ways, including a wheelchair incident.
- A dream in Greece brought closure, with Hopper stating he was okay.

Katherine LaNasa, 59, shared unsettling personal experiences following the 2010 death of her ex-husband, actor Dennis Hopper. LaNasa stated that Hopper's ghost repeatedly appeared to her for an extended period, describing the initial encounters as "scary." One such manifestation depicted Hopper in a wheelchair at the Academy Awards, which LaNasa found deeply upsetting.
LaNasa, who was married to Hopper from 1989 to 1992, believed her unique connection as his "last wife that he'd been with that he wasn't currently divorcing" may have played a role in these spiritual visitations. She eventually told Hopper's spirit to leave her alone, after which he ceased appearing, leaving her feeling unsettled.
The actress recounted a significant encounter where she discovered a gallery showcasing Hopper's photographs, including one of him winking, which she interpreted as a sign of his departure. Later, a dream set in Greece offered Hopper's final message that he was no longer in pain and was doing well, after which LaNasa reported no further contact.
LaNasa, who is now married to actor Grant Show and shares a daughter, previously met Hopper at a Los Angeles party. Hopper had been married several times after his divorce from LaNasa, including to Victoria Duffy, from whom he had filed for divorce shortly before his death.
