Dennis Hopper is knocking at death’s door: The cancer-stricken screen legend is reportedly too ill to defend himself in his nasty divorce battle with sixth wife Victoria Duffy , and doctors predict Hopper will never recover.
The 73-year-old award-winning actor filed for divorce from Duffy in January, citing irreconcilable differences. He later won a court judgement which forced her to move out of his Venice, California residence — the pair have been at war ever since.
“It is doubtful that Mr. Hopper will ever recover sufficiently to be subjected to a deposition,” read court papers filed by his lawyer Joe Mannis.
The Easy Rider star is believed to weigh just over 100 pounds as a result of his ongoing cancer treatment, but that hasn’t stopped Duffy from trying to bleed him dry, Hopper’s legal team claims. Hopper charges that his estranged wife stole some stealing valuable works of art from him while he was “extremely ill” and refuses to return them.
In addition, in a bid to end the arguing, Dennis has offered Victoria – who he married in 1996 – $5,000-a-month in spousal support and claims it is all he can afford as he has been unable to work and his liquid assets total just $300,280.
Victoria rejected the offer, insisting that her estranged husband is hiding assets.
