Hopper files for divorce on his deathbed.

That's harsh, money.

Possible sign this story is bullshit: the laughable suggestion that Hopper is "mentally incapacitated from the enormous amounts of medication he is on..."

I just hoping he makes his peace with Peter Fonda before it's too late.

I knew he was in rough shape, but I didn't know he was that close. Damn.

Crap, I didn't know he was dying.

I wonder if this would hold up in court under these circumstances.

Yeah, one would think that the opposite should be true.

I'll add to echo chamber about not even knowing he was sick. I thought he was still on the terrible Crash tv show, but I'm guessing that probably wrapped a while back?

Man, that's the ultimate in harsh.

Hey, I know I'll be dead soon anyway, but I want to spend as few of my remaining hours as possible married to you.

"I was doing probably three grams of cocaine a day and half a gallon of rum and twenty-eight beers. And I had a fifth of rum on the side in case I ran out. (laughs) So I started drinking beer all day long and I would drink mixed drinks, thinking I could get through the day. Then I would do coke so I could drink more.
Guess it finally caught up with him.

It says in the article that he wrapped his work on the second season recently.

My wife, the eternal optimist, wondered if maybe Hopper had some serious financial problems and didn't want the wife to be saddled with them when he kicks it. Don't know if it works like that, exactly, but it was a nice thought.

I kind of hope that would be the case Phil. But the quotes from "friends" seem to imply that this is about his kids not wanting the new wife to get any money.

I think after an 18 year relationship, the adult kids shouldn't even factor into it.

That sucks. I too wasn't aware he was sick. Hopefully when he dies they'll show clips from his GOOD roles, like BLUE VELVET, APOCALYPSE NOW and of course his exchange with Walken in TRUE ROMANCE. Maybe the best scene of his career.

Divorce attorney says Dennis Hopper is dying

By ANTHONY McCARTNEY, AP Entertainment Writer Anthony Mccartney, Ap Entertainment Writer – Wed Mar 24, 8:45 pm ET

LOS ANGELES – Dennis Hopper is terminally ill and unable to undergo chemotherapy as he battles prostate cancer, his attorney wrote in a court filing.

Attorney Joseph Mannis wrote about the "Easy Rider" star's grave condition in a declaration filed Wednesday asserting the actor cannot be questioned by his wife's attorneys in a deposition.

The prognosis contradicts previous filings in the divorce proceedings that were bullish about Hopper's recovery chances.

Hopper, 73, and his wife, Victoria, have been locked in a bitter feud since the actor, director and artist filed to end the couple's nearly 14-year marriage in January.

He weighs barely 100 pounds and was described by his physician Dr. David Agus in the court filing as extremely weak and unable to carry on long conversations.

Agus states that undergoing a deposition "could actually threaten his ability to survive his current health crisis."

The doctor added, however, that he approved an appearance Friday by Hopper to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because it is likely to be a positive experience.

A phone message seeking comment from Victoria Hopper's attorney, Sorrell Trope, was not immediately returned. Mannis did not return a call seeking further comment.

Hopper filed a declaration last month saying he was undergoing promising chemotherapy treatments and remained hopeful "that this treatment will be successful so that I may soon resume the full enjoyment of my life and work."

Dennis and Victoria Hopper have agreed to stay 10 feet away from each other while the divorce is ongoing. She has stated in court filings that Hopper filed for divorce to cut her out of her inheritance, a claim the actor has denied.

The case is scheduled for a court hearing on April 5.

Part of me hopes that he'll go out in an insane blaze of glory.

If he dies on the walk of fame, it'd be awesome.

The image of it would be fucked up yet iconic.

Doesn't sound very far at all. She could be waiting outside his room.
