Jon Cryer, who played Duckie in Pretty in Pink, honoured Stanton with a touching statement on Friday.
“One of the most lovely, surreal moments I’ve ever had in Hollywood was the night I went to a party that had a country band sort of twanging away in the corner. At one point this ghostly, gorgeous voice cut through the din. I turned to see Harry Dean Stanton on the tiny stage playing with the band,” the actor said in a statement to ET. “I’d come to know Harry as an incomparable character actor with a grizzled seen-it-all demeanour. But I was unprepared for his beautiful, affecting singing voice. It was the very definition of soulful. And I suppose I’ll feel a little better knowing that soul has found peace. Rest In Peace Harry.”
Stanton died on Friday afternoon from natural causes. He was 91. See more in the video below.
