Dennis Hopper Files For Divorce

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 16th 2010 10:29AM

Dennis Hopper was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October, and though reports suggest his condition has declined in recent weeks, the actor has just filed for divorce from his wife of 13 years, according to PEOPLE. Hopper, 73, cites irreconcilable differences in his split with Victoria, Los Angeles court records show.

The actor is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their 6-year-old daughter Galen, and plans to provide spousal support to Victoria.

Hopper has been a mainstay in Hollywood for five decades, including an Oscar nomination for co-writing 1969's counterculture classic 'Easy Rider.' He also was nominated for an acting Oscar in 1986 for 'Hoosiers,' and had roles in films like 'Apocalypse Now,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'True Romance' and 'Speed.'

Hopper recently wrapped the second season of Starz series 'Crash.' . He plays maniacal music producer Ben Cendars on the series. The actor also has several film projects in the works.

Has he had a brain scan....sounds like he's got a tumor....He's almost dead she ought to fight this.

By Rocco

Interesting. She probably will have to pay less tax on what the divorce settlement will be than what the bill would be for it received as inheritance after his death.

And you all know this because you live in the same house with him and his wife and you're in their business daily?

By what?!

dennis hopper was a good actor, in my opinion. A wife of 13 years ... why can't he stay married for the last time? I guess that's the Hollywood way.

Itchy butts can be fungus or parasites (like pinworms). Look it up.

Hoppper could live with prostate cancer for many years. I know!
He probably wants to sow some more "oats." Many years and still going strong, more ups than downs.

By dee

just because he is sick doesnt mean this is the reason he is getting a divorce - also read - it says JOINT custody therefore when he does die - his wife be it ex or whatever will have custody

By Aftab ahmad

Don't know what to make of the divorce. Most probably financial
reason. Hope he gets his wish before he passes away.

By mem

God bless Dennis Hopper, I hope he wins his war against cancer. He's a great actor and puts his heart and soul into every part he plays. As for his divorce, I don't know him personally and don't know the details, so who am I (or you) to pass judgement.

By Al

Can you say : LEGAL MANUVER!!

By Jean

I believe he wants his wife to go on with her life without being a burden to her.

By Tom

He's probably getting a divorce because he caught the prostate cancer from his wife.
