Dennis Hopper’s Widow To Fight For His Money

Dennis Hopper died on Saturday after a long battle with cancer, but the actor’s fight with his wife continues. Before his death, Hopper was in the process of divorcing Victoria Duffy, his wife of 14 years. With his death, the divorce proceedings are headed for a probate fight. Hopper wanted to deny his wife the stipulations of their prenup – 25% of the estate and $250,000 in life insurance money. He also claimed Duffy had stolen works of art from his house, including those of Andy Warhol. The divorce, which began in January, was not settled at the time of Hopper’s death. The prenup only gives Duffy a bequest if she and Hopper were married and living together when he died. However, when Hopper died, the two were living in separate homes. Duffy claims that since her house was on Hopper’s property, they were technically “living together.”
