Scenes I Love: Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas


Today would have been the 100th birthday of the great character actor, Harry Dean Stanton.

My scene that I love for the day comes from Wim Wenders’s Paris, Texas.  This 1984 film gave Stanton a rare starring role as Travis, a man searching for Jane (Nastassja Kinski), the mother of his son.  In this scene, physically separated and hidden from Jane by a one-way mirror, Travis talks about their relationship and their son.
