It was a messy divorce when Dudley Moore and ex-wife Nicole Rothschild parted and she has no intention of letting the acclaimed actor rest peacefully.

While married, the couple had a son, Nicholas, whom Nicole feels should be able to kiss his father good-bye. The only problem is, one of Dudley's last wishes banned the former drug addict from his funeral.

Nicole has hired one of America's top attorneys to get her into the parlor. She says, "I will do whatever it takes...If necessary, I will disrupt the funeral. It sounds grotesque, but it is also grotesque that a child should live a life and not be able to see his father. I will do everything I can to impound that body."
