Paula Wins Custody Battle

Originally appeared in NOW's February 18, 1999 issue

MICHAEL HUTCHENCE's father Kelland has dropped legal action for custody of his granddaughter from Paula Yates. Mr Hutchence, 66, originally launched his claim while Paula was being treated in a London clinic after a suicide attempt.

But now he says: "It's all in the past as far as I am concerned." Paula, 39, is currently considering a number of offers to work on Australian TV. Meanwhile, as this picture shows, two-year-old Tiger Lily looks more and more like her dad.
