Dennis Hopper’s dying wish: divorce

Dennis Hopper’s final months were consumed by a bitter deathbed divorce battle with his fifth wife, Victoria Duffy, 42, who had been married to the legendary wildman for 14 years.

Hopper filed for divorce in January, when he was hospitalized in LA, claiming he wanted to “die in peace.”

In court papers, Hopper’s seemingly demure wife (pictured at right with the actor in 2008) and mother of their 7-year-old daughter Galen is described as “insane and out of her mind” with “inhuman” tendencies.

Hopper obtained a restraining order against her, banned her from his home and accused her of stealing more than $1.5 million of artwork.
