に向かって the end of the service to celebrate Michael 勝利者’s life, his friend Sir Michael Caine ? who had made a larkily denigrating eulogy ? turned to the old showman’s 未亡人, Geraldine, and said: ‘If he does leave you a couple of quid, love, you’ve earned it.’

A ripple of knowing laughter ran around the congregation of friends and 星／主役にするs, who 含むd Sir Roger Moore, Sir Michael Parkinson, Bernie Ecclestone, Lord Archer and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, 勝利者’s next-door 隣人 in Kensington.

But Geraldine’s smile, I noticed, was wintry. She alone knew the truth about her husband’s 悲惨な財政上の状況／情勢.

Devoted: Michael Winner pictured with his wife Geraldine, right, and his PA Dinah May, left, who have both been left to deal with the showman's debt after he passed away in January

充てるd: Michael 勝利者 pictured with his wife Geraldine, 権利, and his PA Dinah May, left, who have both been left to を取り引きする the showman's 負債 after he passed away in January

勝利者 always 誇るd he was 価値（がある）￡75?million. This, he explained, 構成するd ￡25?million in 沖合いの／海外の bank accounts and a magnificent Queen Anne 復活 mansion overlooking the woodlands of Holland Park. He had lavished millions on 回復するing the house and （人命などを）奪う，主張するd it would fetch ￡50?million.

However, when 勝利者’s will was 発表するd last week, に引き続いて his death in January, it was 公表する／暴露するd his 甚だしい／１２ダース広い地所 was only ￡16.8?million. And because he ran up 注目する，もくろむ-watering 負債s of ￡12?million to 基金 his lavish lifestyle, the real total had shrunk to ￡4.75?million. This would have made 勝利者, by his own extravagant 基準s, の近くに to a pauper.

Sadly for many of those 心配するing the generous bequests he always 約束d them, the cash had almost run out, and they looked in vain for their 指名するs in probate.?

Actress Jenny Seagrove, who he always said he should have married, was 行方不明の from the will. Former mistress Vanessa Parry will receive just ￡12,000 and Jim, his loyal chauffeur for 15 years, nothing. やめる where Geraldine’s ￡5?million 遺産／遺物 will come from is uncertain.

Struggle: Geraldine Winner has been trying to untangle her late husband's labyrinth of complicated interlocking companies

Struggle: Geraldine 勝利者 has been trying to untangle her late husband's 迷宮／迷路 of 複雑にするd interlocking companies

She 相続するs the mansion, Woodland House ? on the market for a year but still unsold ? but because it is leasehold it is ありそうもない to fetch more than a third of 勝利者’s valuation. Strangely, it is given no value in the will.

But for three of the other women most dear to him there lies only 不確定 over what they will receive. And even that is 存在論争d and could be tied up in the 法廷，裁判所s for months.

Catherine Nielson, for years the chatelaine of Woodland House who he 愛称d Sparkle; the exotic Latin Paula Lombard, who に先行するd Geraldine; and 勝利者’s PA Dinah May, a former 行方不明になる広大な／多数の／重要な Britain, have 雇うd expensive probate lawyers at a co st of ￡400 an hour to fight for their 株.

All were 扶養家族 on 勝利者 and 非，不，無 have the 肉親，親類d of 基金s necessary for a 高くつく／犠牲の大きい合法的な戦う／戦い.?

At times Geraldine, who married 勝利者 two years ago, but had known him since she was 16, has been の近くに to 涙／ほころびs as she tries valiantly to untangle the 迷宮／迷路 of 複雑にするd interlocking companies which owned? 勝利者s 資産s and on which he ますます borrowed large sums of money to keep afloat and 支払う／賃金 wince-inducing 私的な医療の法案s.

His bravado about wealth, designed to impress rich friends and necessary for his own sense of 価値（がある）, was 明確に like the plywood 始める，決めるs of his films ? a carefully 建設するd artifice.

Geraldine has told me: ‘The banks froze everything within minutes of Michael dying. There wasn’t even any money to run the house. I had to turn the heating off in most of the rooms and switched off the lights in the grounds to save money.

‘I was 脅すd we wouldn’t be able to 支払う／賃金 the electricity 法案. It’s been a nightmare. He always said to me, “Don’t worry, everything will be all 権利 when I’ve gone. I’ve taken care of it.” But it didn’t turn out like that. I was 調印 cheques that weren’t 存在 met.

‘People always thought Michael was a brilliant 実業家, but he wasn’t. What Michael most 手配中の，お尋ね者 to do was spend money. Hotels, cars, 私的な計画（する）s. It was stupid. If someone （機の）カム up to him in a restaurant and told him they liked his restaurant column, 勝利者’s Dinners, he’d 静かに call the ma?tre d’ over and foot their 法案.’

Debts: Michael Winner, pictured with wife Geraldine in the main bedroom of Woodland House in Kensington, boasted he was worth ￡75million but he spending has left an estate worth just ￡4.75million

負債s: Michael 勝利者, pictured with wife Geraldine in the main bedroom of Woodland House in Kensington, 誇るd he was 価値（がある）￡75million but his extravagant spending has left an 広い地所価値（がある） just ￡4.75million

勝利者 was paid ￡100,000 a year for 勝利者’s Dinners, which he said was ‘chopped 肝臓’ compared to the 料金s other 星／主役にする columnists earned. He never （人命などを）奪う，主張するd a penny in expenses, though when he reviewed Sandy 小道／航路 in Barbados on a Christmas visit his hotel 法案 alone 軽く押す／注意を引くd ￡90,000 with first-class 空気／公表する fares on 最高の，を越す.

Most heartbroken over the loss of the small fortune she was 約束d is Dinah May, a vivacious, bubbly blonde 勝利者 fell 長，率いる over heels for the moment they were introduced in a restaurant 30 years ago and 雇うd すぐに as his Girl Friday.

Whenever there was a problem at Woodland House, 勝利者’s cry of ‘DINAHHHHH!’ could be heard all over the mansion, as she （機の）カム running to を取り引きする whatever was the 最新の災害 in his life.

勝利者 left Dinah ￡300,000 and the ￡1.2?million Kensington flat he owned in which she lived rent-解放する／自由な. To her horror, she has received a 税金法案 for � �150,000 and has been told there is a ￡600,000 貸付金 on the flat which she will also have to 支払う／賃金.

Past: Dinah May, pictured in 1976 when she won Miss Great Britain, became Winner's Girl Friday after they met 30 years ago

の近くに to 涙／ほころびs, 59-year-old Dinah told me: ‘Michael was 広大な／多数の／重要な fun but oh, what a 完全にする mess. He always 約束d me a 年金. If he saw me crying because I was worried about the 未来, he told me not to worry because I was 井戸／弁護士席 taken care of in his will. And of course I believed him. に向かって the end he kept 令状ing and rewriting his? will. We used to joke it was like the hokey-cokey. One day someone? was in, the next day they were out.? I suppose that was because he knew the money was running out.

‘Michael made it （疑いを）晴らす that his bequests to me should be （疑いを）晴らす of 相続物件税金 and gift 税金 and that if there was any, his 広い地所 should 支払う／賃金 it. He wrote that 負かす／撃墜する, had it 文書d and gave me a copy. It was all done 合法的に. It’s with my lawyer who has been contesting everything with the executors and Michael’s lawyers. If I had to 会合，会う these 法案s, I would have to sell the flat ? and then where would I live?

‘I know the other girls have been fighting this too and I understand even Geraldine has had to bring in the 最高の，を越す lawyer of Michael’s friend Philip Green [owner of Topshop] to try to sort this out.

‘I’ve got to be strong and I’ve got to be 勇敢に立ち向かう. I’ve had a good cry but I’ve just got to get on with life.

‘I’ve 小衝突d up my computer 技術s and gone 支援する to class and am proud to say I’ve passed all the exams and now I’ve got to get a 職業.

‘I don’t have any money and I’ve got to earn. Michael had always? paid my 給料 and I assumed? everything would always be 承認する.? It’s 粉々にするing.’

During her three １０年間s as 勝利者’s inseparable assistant, Dinah was 証言，証人／目撃する to all the secrets in his life: the girls who （機の）カム and went, the 戦う／戦いs with 支援者s and 星／主役にするs in his films 同様に as intimate stories about the famous Hollywood 星／主役にするs he entertained at Woodland House.

Dinah washed Lauren Bacall’s hair, drank a 瓶／封じ込める of Dom Perignon シャンペン酒 with Joanna Lumley and cooked stroganoff for Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Caine and David 霜 and their wives when the chef didn’t show up for a party.

Her memoirs could be the answer to her problem ? and she has 勝利者’s blessing to tell all.?

Bill: Dinah May, pictured in 1976, has been told she must pay a ￡150,000 tax bill and repay a loan of ￡600,000 after Michael Winner left her ￡300,000 and a ￡1.2mil
lion flat

法案: Dinah May, pictured in 1976, has been told she must 支払う／賃金 a ￡150,000 税金法案 and 返す a 貸付金 of ￡600,000 after Michael 勝利者 left her ￡300,000 and a ￡1.2million flat

She said: ‘Michael always said to me, “令状 the real story about me when I’ve gone. You know everything that was never published. Your 調書をとる／予約する will be your real 年金. People will love it. Don’t be afraid to get it all 負かす／撃墜する.”

‘I’ve written 40,000 words so far and have been 申し込む／申し出d a publisher. I’ve even been 接触するd by a TV company who want to make a 文書の about it all. I think it makes pretty racy reading. There was a lot Michael didn’t tell the world, didn’t want people to know until he was gone. I think the public will enjoy it.’

Dinah 主張するs there was never any ‘bedroom 商売／仕事’ between them but their friendship was so の近くに that she washed 勝利者’s hair in beer once a week. Before he married Geraldine, she sewed the buttons on his shirts and even plucked his nasal and ear hair.

She travelled with him all over? the world, いつかs …に出席するing to the hair and make-up of actors in his films, and even 行為／法令／行動するd as his walker when he was between girlfriends. He knew Dinah was utterly 信頼できる and utterly faithful. She was the one constant 女性（の） he relied on through most of his life.

Dinah was married for many years and has a grown-up son, but was div orced four years ago. She 初めは started work as a hairdresser on Merseyside but was so attractive she 設立する she could earn more as a part-time model.

Geraldine Winner, pictured at the memorial service for her husband in June, described the wrangling over his will as a 'nightmare'

Geraldine 勝利者, pictured at the 記念の service for her husband in June, 述べるd the 口論する人ing over his will as a 'nightmare'

This led her into beauty 野外劇／豪華な行列s ? she was 栄冠を与えるd 行方不明になる広大な／多数の／重要な Britain in 1976 ? and small parts in films. As an 事実上の／代理 career beckoned, she gave it all up to work for 勝利者.

When Michael fell 本気で ill? and nearly died in 2007 after eating? poisonous 貝類と甲殻類, Dinah and? Geraldine nursed him 絶えず.

It says much for both women that there has never been any sense of 競争 between them and they remain good friends. Dinah said: ‘Geraldine has been doing her best to sort this mess out for us,’ she said. ‘She is working 猛烈に hard to honour the spirit of Michael’s will and it has been very hard for her.’

Dinah fully 認めるs 勝利者’s 相反する態度 to money. He was both generous and parsimonious. After 示唆するing a 信用 should be 始める，決める up to honour fallen police officers に引き続いて the 殺人 of WPC Yvonne Fletcher by Libyan テロリストs, he 注ぐd millions of his own money into it when no one else （機の）カム今後. Yet he loved to 誇る he had bought a gadget that 圧力（をかける）d used 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s of soap together so they would not be wasted.

This ambivalence continued to his dying day. I was one of the last of? his friends to visit him. On a cheerless January afternoon, Geraldine showed me into his cavernous, film-始める，決める bedroom where 勝利者 sat like the ageing King Lear, 列d in a big, brown fur rug on a 王位-like 議長，司会を務める next to his bed.

We talked of this and that and then I congratulated him on the 最近の sale of his celebrated collection? of illustrative art at Sotheby’s ? the Winnie the Poohs and Beatrix? Potters. He said he was delighted? it had raised ￡1?million and 手配中の，お尋ね者 to sell everything he owned.

‘Why?’ I asked. ‘Don’t you want everything you love around you?’ ‘Because I want money,’ he answered. ‘I love money.’

‘But you’ve got enough money,’? I replied. ‘But I want more.’ ‘That makes you sound like Fagin,’ I joked.

He cackled. ‘Yes, Fagin 勝利者: that’s me. It’s all going, Roddy. I’m selling everything. The pictures, the cars, the furniture .??.??.’

What we now realise is that he knew the money was running out. He was desperate to 緊急発進する together every penny to fulfil the wishes of his will for his own 献身的な praetorian guard who had 保護物，者d him from his enemies (of which there were more than a few) and supported him through every 危機. Not an ignoble 願望（する）.

Dinah is sile nt for a moment. ‘Michael was an incredible man,’ she says almost to herself. ‘Crazy, impossible, 肉親，親類d, extravagant,? terrific fun. You run out of words. There was no one else like him.
‘It’s typical that even after he’s gone, he’s still making waves. I 行方不明になる him terribly. I know he would have hated us to 苦しむ like this.’

But as Michael himself might? have said: ‘静める負かす／撃墜する dears. It’s only money!’

What his women might (or might not!) be getting

によれば the 条件 of his will, Michael 勝利者’s 未亡人 Geraldine was 推定する／予想するing to receive ￡5?million 加える the Holland Park mansion. One former live-in lover, Catherine Nielson, was left ￡1?million cash. Another former girlfriend, Paula Lombard, is 予定 to 相続する her flat 加える￡600,000.

Dinah May was left ￡300,000 加える her? ￡1.2?million flat ? but since his death, it has been discovered that the flats are mortgaged and the 遺産／遺物s 支配する to swingeing 税金需要・要求するs.

勝利者 left ￡12,000 to former girlfriend Vanessa Parry, who appeared in his adverts for 保険会社／堅い esure, with 類似の sums to maid Lainie Manases, chauffeur Julian Whatley, PA Natalie Wright and bookkeeper Jodie Wright.

Any money left over ? if there is any ? will go to the Police 記念の信用.
