The Pitt's Katherine LaNasa Was Haunted By Ex Dennis Hopper's Ghost

The Pitt’s Patrick Ball Has Hilarious Reaction to More Potential Cast Changes

Katherine LaNasa and Dennis Hopper's bond endured even after his death.

In fact, The Pitt star, who was married to the late actor from 1989 to 1992, recently revealed she was haunted by Hopper's ghost multiple times following his 2010 death.

"I do believe in ghosts," LaNasa confessed to W Magazine in an interview published June 16. "The ghost of Dennis Hopper would not leave me alone for a really long time."

"We've been divorced a very long time, but I was the last wife that he'd been with that he wasn't currently divorcing," the Emmy winner continued, "so I think that level of intimacy when you're dying is maybe only something you can do with a partner?"

However, the visits from Hopper—who had been in the process of divorcing fifth wife Victoria Duffy at the time of his death at 74—were initially quire unsettling.

"He came one time where he was at the Academy Awards," the 59-year-old recalled. "He was in a wheelchair and he fell down and it was super upsetting."

However, their communications changed after one pivotal encounter from beyond.

"He used to come over me in a sweat and I told him he had to leave me alone, and then he did," LaNasa—mom to son Henry Hopper, 36, with the Cool Hand Luke alum—remembered. "And then I felt really weird about it. And then the day that I told someone how weird I felt about it, I walked home an odd way and ran into a gallery that had all of his photographs up, and a photograph of him in the very back of the gallery with a fedora on winking at the camera."

After that, LaNasa—who later married French Stewart before tying the knot with Grant Show in 2012—felt Hopper was "letting me go," only visiting her one final time in a dream.

"We were both in a cafeteria in Greece, and he told me that he was okay and that he wasn't in pain anymore and he was good," she recalled. "And I never heard from him again."

Though LaNasa hasn’t often detailed her life with Hopper, she previously shared how her experience being with him and his care team ahead of his death influenced her role as charge nurse Dana Evans on The Pitt.

"Fifteen years ago when the hospice nurses were with my ex-husband—my son's dad—I spent a lot of time, months, with them when he was dying," the mom of two explained last fall on an End Well Conference panel, per Hello!, "and I learned so much from them: a compassionate detachment and it was that steadiness and the compassion, that I really tried to put into Dana."

LaNasa isn't the only star who has detailed their encounters with life beyond the veil. Keep reading for more spooktacular celebrity ghost stories.
