Dying Dennis Hopper’s wife: He threatened to kill me

The wife of dying Hollywood legend Dennis Hopper claimed he made death threats against her, The Sun reported Wednesday.

Victoria Duffy, 42, also alleged the cancer-stricken star, 73, kept loaded guns within reach of their daughter Galen, six, and smoked cannabis in front of the child.

She said after one argument that the Easy Rider actor told her, “Something bad is going to happen to you” and another time he threatened to “end” her.

The accusations, made in court papers filed by Duffy Tuesday, come after Hopper filed for divorce from his spouse of 13 years on his hospital bed two weeks ago

Duffy claims he was “pressured” into the move by relatives who do not want her to inherit when he dies.

However, sources close to Hopper insist that the star is determined to stop his wife from contesting his will, which leaves her only one-quarter of his estate.

The actor, who is dying from prostate cancer at a Los Angeles-area hospital, is apparently trying to hang on until his divorce from Duffy becomes final.

“I wish Victoria the best, but (I) only want to spend these difficult days surrounded by my children and close friends,” he said in a statement last week.
