Shannon Price testified that although she and the actor were divorced in 2008 — less than a year after they wed — they still lived together until his death in May of 2010, the New York Daily News reports.

Anna Gray countered, saying, she and the actor dated, and for years she managed his affairs. Gray, representing herself, told a judge Coleman named her a beneficiary and executor of his estate in 2005.

At stake is the rights to the actor’s likeness, a home worth more than $300,000, a pension, and Social Security benefits.
