RIP Dennis Hopper

Dennis Hopper died May 29th at the age of 74. He had prostate cancer.  Prior to Mr. Hopper's death the actor tried to divorce his wife, Victoria Duffy.  The divorce proceedings began in January but the divorce was not final at the time of Hopper's death.  This is significant because a prenuptial agreement severely limits Victoria's inheritance if the couple were not married and living together at the time of the actors death.  Victoria was living on the property but not in the home with Dennis Hopper.  She intends to fight the provision.  On May 12, 2010 a hearing was held to attempt to remove Victoria as a beneficiary on Hopper's life insurance policy.  That attempt failed and she remained the beneficiary.  Dennis Hopper was too ill to come to court that day although he was represented there.
