Did you know?

• Harry Dean Stanton served in the Navy during the Second World War.
• In an interview with Venus magazine, he discussed his experience of acting in Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He said "we were standing around waiting for Hitchcock to direct us in the scene, where Tom and I were kidnapping E.G. Marshall, tying him up. So Hitchcock tells us (imitating him) "You fellows just go down there and work it out." Never said another word! Nothing! He just let us do it. That's what I loved about him. All great directors do that, they say very little to actors".
• He has his own band. It was originally called Harry Dean And The Repo Men. It is now simply called The Harry Dean Stanton Band.
• Early in his career he toured with an American choir. He told Venice Magazine that he "answered an ad in the paper that said 'Singers Wanted' and got on a singing tour with this Baptist preacher who wanted to spread the word of God through song".
• His parents divorced when he was in high school. They later re-married.
