Michael Clarke Duncan’s untimely death has unearthed a woman claiming to be the actor’s daughter. Marqay Ambrose, 32, stated during an interview with My Fox Chicago that she and her father had not spoken in 11 years. Paternity doubters are concerned the woman is motivated by a desire to snag a slice of the Green Mile actor’s estate.
A Radar Online source discounts the alleged daughter’s claims and maintains no one in Michael Clarke Duncan’s family knows the woman.
The source had this to say when speaking with Radar Online:
“Michael did date Marqay’s mother, but he believed he was not her father. He was in the hospital for 52 days and she never once reached out or tried to talk to him then. It was the day he died that she started calling his mother and saying, ‘I want what’s mine’ and trying to get money from her. She seems very opportunistic to be making the calls now, especially to his 93-year-old mother on the day her so died.”
Duncan’s alleged adult child noted the only aspect of his passing that really bothered her is that they did not repair their supposed relationship. Ambrose denied the claims that she was attempting to extort money from the movie star’s family immediately after his death. The 300 pound star spent seven weeks in a hospital bed after suffering a heart attack.
Before the 6’5” tall actor became known as the gentle giant of Hollywood, he worked on the South Side of Chicago as a bouncer at various clubs and a ditch digger for the People’s Gas Company. The movie star did not forget his where he came from and inspired students to stay in school during a visit to his alma mater, King High School.
