Los Angeles, March 27 (DPA) Cancer-stricken actor Dennis Hopper was honoured Friday with a star on Hollywood's walk of fame.

The actor, 73, is reportedly too weak to continue chemotherapy for his advanced prostate cancer. But he received permission from his doctor to attend the short ceremony recognising his contribution to more than 150 movies.

Hopper began his career in the 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause and is most famous for his role in the 1969 counter-culture movie, Easy Rider.

'Everything I learned in life I learned from you,' a frail-looking Hopper told the crowd. 'This means so much to me. Thank you very much everyone, and Hollywood.'
