Harry Dean Stanton was one of my all-time favorite character actors, and I'll always remember him as the best thing in the movie Dillinger (the version starring Warren Oates). I still use his classic line "Goddammit, things ain't working out for me today" from that movie. He also contributed the expression "slicker than snot on a doorknob" in the western The Missouri Breaks.
I'll put it this way: Harry Dean Stanton was in the same class as Strother Martin. That's about the highest compliment I can think of. Anyway, he died this week at age 91, yet Donny Johnny and Mitch McConnell live on.
