Dennis Hopper files for divorce even while reportedly on his deathbed
Movie legend Dennis Hopper has filed for divorce while reportedly on his deathbed, according to US reports.
The Easy Rider star is reportedly facing his “final days surrounded by family and friends” while losing the battle against prostate cancer.
Even so, court records show that the ailing 73-year-old has still filed divorce papers against Victoria Hopper, his wife of 14 years.
The drastic move came reportedly as they squabbled over money and his will – and according to one US report Victoria has now “barricaded herself” in their LA home while the star is on his deathbed in hospital.
The New York Post states: “Hopper, who isn’t expected to live more than a month, is trying to keep his wife from contesting his will, which apparently leaves her only a quarter of his estate. He’s also hoping it will force Victoria from the compound where Hopper and two of his grown children and their families live.”
Victoria is wife number five, but this marriage has far outlasted the previous four, which included the 8-day marriage to Michelle Phillips. He and Victoria have been together for 18 years and have a six-year-old daughter, Galen.
A friend says Hopper’s condition – which has him “mentally incapacitated from the enormous amounts of medication he is on” for his treatment – is “adding to the confusion”.
