Author Hunter S. Thompson stands in a pile of popcorn after hurling a bag of it at Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro, co-stars of the movie based on his book, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," at the movie's premier Tuesday, May 19, 1998 in New York. Thompson, the hard-living writer who inserted himself into his accounts of America's underbelly and popularized a first-person form of journalism in books such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," has committed suicide. Thompson was found dead Sunday Feb. 20, 2005 in his Aspen-area home. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
