that spans decades, features
over 100 witnesses and relies
on dozens of hours of video
and reams of documents.
“Much of the most dam-
aging evidence is going to
come directly from Mr.
Durst himself,” Lewin told
jurors, referencing inter-
views Durst gave to creators
of “The Jinx” and audio com-
mentary he provided for “All
Good Things,” a 2010 movie
loosely based on his life.
Jurors saw video of Durst
admitting to using food
stamps and shoplifting wa-
ter bottles despite his fam-
ily’s enormous wealth. He
discussed his genitals in
front of his mother-in-law.
He spoke of his lackadaisical
approach to working and
warned his pregnant wife
that if she kept the baby, he’d
divorce her.
“Bob Durst is very honest
about the fact that the rules
don’t apply to him,” Lewin
said.
Lewin also showed jurors
video excerpts of witness
testimony from earlier hear-
ings that will be replayed
during the trial. Among
those witnesses was close
friend Nick Chavin, who tes-
tified that in 2014, Durst said
of Berman, “I had to. It was

her or me” — which Chavin

took to be a confession.

Lewin devoted much of

his time Wednesday to

Durst’s turbulent marriage

to Kathleen McCormack

Durst, and what preceded

her 1982 disappearance.

“It was clearly spiraling

downhill,” Lewin said, refer-

ring to allegations of domes-

tic abuse. Lewin said Durst

killed his wife at their vaca-

tion home outside New York

City. Lewin said he would

prove at trial that Durst

killed her and told author-

ities she was missing.

Berman was central to

the ruse, prosecutors say, al-

leging she gave Durst a “false

alibi,” impersonating Kath-

leen Durst in a call to her

medical school and giving

police the impression that

she was still alive.

The case grew cold until

1999, when Durst learned

New York authorities had re-

opened it. Prosecutors say

that prompted him to si-

lence Berman forever.

Prosecutors say the 2001

shooting and dismember-

ment of Durst’s elderly

neighbor Morris Black in

Galveston marked “the vi-

olent climax of his nearly

yearlong effort to conceal

himself from New York au-

thorities.” Durst was acquit-

ted in Black’s death after

claiming self-defense.

Defense attorney Chip

Lewis told The Times that

despite a thorough investi-

gation in New York, there

have been no charges in

Kathleen Durst’s disappear-

ance. Defense attorneys also

say virtually no physical evi-

dence ties Durst to

Berman’s killing.

“Bob Durst did not kill

Susan Berman and doesn’t

know who did,” lead defense

attorney Dick DeGuerin told

The Times last year.

Durst’s defense will cast

doubt on whether Black,

killed months after Berman,

is relevant to the case. Lewis

called evidence of the grue-

some killing and dismem-

berment an “emotional hi-

jacking,” saying it was

“solely designed to predis-

pose the jury to find Bob

guilty of Susan Berman’s

murder.”

It’s unclear whether

Durst, 77 next month, will

take the stand; he is ill and

has limited mobility.

Yet in court, he has sig-

naled defiance, fist-bump-

ing lawyers and once raising

both arms victoriously as

he looked out to the audi-

ence.

ROBERT DURST,real estate heir and subject of “The Jinx,” appeared in court in
L.A. on Wednesday. He has appeared defiant despite illness and limited mobility.

L

ee Phillip Bell, who

co-created “The

Young and the

Restless” and “The

Bold and the Beau-

tiful” and hosted her own

daytime talk show in Chi-

cago for 33 years, has died.

She was 91.

Bell died Tuesday of na-

tural causes at her home in

Los Angeles, according to

Eva Basler, a spokeswoman

for the family and their com-

pany Bell-Phillip Television

Productions.

“Our mother was a loving

and supportive wife, mother

and grandmother,” her fam-

ily said in a statement. “Gra-

cious and kind, she enriched

the lives of all who knew her.

We will miss her tremen-

dously.”

Bell and her husband,

William, co-created two of

daytime television’s most

successful and enduring

dramas. “The Young and the

Restless” has been on the air

since 1973, and “The Bold

and the Beautiful” will mark

its 33rd anniversary in

March.

Born in Chicago on June

9, 1928, Bell began her career

as a broadcast journalist in

her hometown, where she

hosted and produced her

eponymous daytime talk

show from 1953 to 1986 on

WBBM-TV, the local CBS af-

filiate. She explored timely

social issues and concerns,

while also interviewing Pres-

idents Gerald Ford and Ron-

ald Reagan, Judy Garland,

Clint Eastwood, Oprah Win-

frey, Lucille Ball, and the

Beatles and Rolling Stones.

She won 16 regional Emmy

Awards for her show.

Bell also produced and

narrated several award-win-

ning specials and docu-

mentaries on such topics as

foster children, rape and di-

vorce. She won a Daytime

Emmy for outstanding

drama series for “The Young

and the Restless” in 1975,

and received a lifetime

achievement award from the

Daytime Emmys in 2007.

Her husband died in

2005. She is survived by her
      sons William and Bradley
      and daughter Lauralee Bell
      Martin. William Bell is presi-
      dent and chief executive of
      the family’s production com-
      pany. Bradley is executive
      producer and head writer for
      “The Bold and the Beauti-
      ful.”

Her daughter-in-law,

Colleen Bell, served as U.S.

ambassador to Hungary

under President Obama and

is executive director of the

California Film Commis-

sion. Another daughter-in-

law, Maria Arena Bell, is a

former head writer on “The

Young and the Restless.”

Her other survivors are son-

in-law Scott Martin and

eight grandchildren.

ALSCHULER, Donald J.

Don started his first business

venture in 1942, selling eggs from his

backyard chickens door-to-door in

his native Brentwood. He was 7 years

old. Throughout his life, he continued

to hone his business acumen and

occupied many leadership positions.

While at Emerson Jr. High, he bred

and sold hamsters to the Beverly

Hills Pet Store. Always a leader, at

Beverly High he lead the “Bee Team”

as quarterback. Upon graduating in

1953, he continued as the quarterback

for his ZBT Fraternity football team at

CU Boulder and later at UC Berkeley.

After graduating in 1957, he served

in the Air Force in Washington, D.C.

as a Lieutenant. In 1960 he moved

back to California to become a CPA.

Three years later, he combined his

interest in accounting with his natural

leadership skills, and opened his own

company Modern Service Office Supply

(a.k.a. MSOS). MSOS delivered office

supplies across the nation until 1993,

when Don sold the company to focus

on new positions in leadership. He

served on the boards of United Way LA,

United Jewish Welfare Fund, Vista Del

Mar, and other non-profits. Instead of

retiring fully, he became a CEO Coach,

an Angel Investor, and cultivated his

lifelong interest in the stock market.

Using his computer skills, he began a

career in digital photography for the

Huntington Gardens. His many photos

also captured animals at the LA Zoo, his

worldwide travels, and “Images Of The

Not So Famous.”

Don was predeceased by his son

Brian Jay. He is survived by his wife

of 62 years, Lynne Lewis Alschuler,

his two daughters Melanie Maguire

(Michael) and Trina Scholz (Eric), and

four granddaughters Emma Fraser

(Ian), Moorea, Lizzy, and Misha. We

will miss you on the ski slopes, the

tennis courts, and our travels around

the world.

Funeral services will be held at

Hillside Memorial Park on Friday,

March 6th at 12 noon. In lieu of

flowers, please make a donation to

Planned Parenthood Los Angeles

or UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center

Foundation.

March 9, 1960 - February 16, 2020

Denise Ulloa, born Denise Dawn

Henick, on March 9, 1960, in

Saskatoon,Saskatchewan, Canada,

died February 16, 2020, at her home in

Bel-Air, California. The cause of death

was the culmination of a long-term

illness.

Denisewascreative,sometimes

driven, sometimes droll, always

precise,andextremely organized.

She was an excellent athlete, a high

scorer in basketball and volleyball,

loved to travel, was interested in the

law, and decided early she would

someday live in a big city. Denise was

awardedan academic scholarship

to the University of Saskatchewan,

finishing with a Bachelor of Education

(B.Ed.) in 1983. Beginning in 1984,

Denise was the English department

head at Collingwood private school in

Vancouver, British Columbia. As soon

as she could, however, Denise would

find a way to move to that bigger city.

In 1988, she happened to see an ad

from the Canadian Consulate seeking

an applicant to handle FAM Tours in Los

Angeles; FAM being an abbreviation

for “familiarisation” trips, organized to

educate people about specific products

and services—in this case—Canada

itself. Denise applied for the position,

immediately got it, and found herself

living in not only a big city, but one of

the largest global cities in the world:

Los Angeles. In her new post at the

Canadian Consulate, Denise organized

conferences and trade missions,

createdreportsforthe Canadian

Federal Government, researched and

wrote educational programming,

and wrote and delivered speeches

throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Now living full time in L.A., Denise

soon met, and married Ronald Ulloa

in 1991, and they subsequently had

two children. At the same time, Denise

was admitted to Whittier Law School,

became a member of the Law Review,

received the American Jurisprudence

Award for Legal Research and Writing,

graduated with a Juris Doctor degree,

in 1995, and was admitted to the

California Bar in 1996. Denise was

also an advocate for the efficacy of the

coming digital convergence, writing

an informative, even prescient case

study entitled: “Advanced Television

Systems: A Reexamination of

Broadcasters’ Use of the Spectrum from

a Twenty-First Century Perspective,”

for the Whittier Law Review, 1996.

Denise wrote several published articles

between 1996 and 2001, after which

she went to work in Business and Legal

Affairs for Warner Bros. Television, later

focusing on intellectual property and

entertainment law, including: music

production, distribution, publishing,

and film production, finance and rights

acquisition.

Besides her work as an attorney,

Denise was a dedicated and engaged

mother, who understood the vital

importance of early education, and

the significance of spiritual and ethical

modeling for her children.

Denise is survived by her husband

Ronald Ulloa, and their two children,

Anthony Francis Ulloa, graduate of

USC, and Madeline Patricia Ulloa,

currentlyattendingUSC; bothof

Denise’s parents, Patricia and Norman

Henick, who live in Saskatoon; and, her

sister, Janice Holmes, husband Kevin

and their two children, Trent and Seth,

in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Please
