The mystery woman who stands to take over Gary Coleman's estate is holding up the late star's funeral plans -- because she wants to see the tragic actor's body.
Anna Gray, who is named executor in a 2005 will signed by Coleman, wants to see her friend one last time before he is cremated - and a judge in Utah has given her the go-ahead to lift the lid on his coffin.
Gray's request was opposed by Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price, who is also challenging Gray's executor status.
She claims that a handwritten 2007 note makes her the executor of her ex-husband's estate.
Little is known about Gray apart from the fact she is an old friend of the deceased.
Gray apparently helped the actor set up a corporation while she was living with him in Los Angeles -- and he made her the CEO.
She moved to Utah with Coleman, but their relationship soured when he fell for Price, and she was reportedly asked to move out.
Coleman died May 28 after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
Meanwhile, Coleman's ex-wife is fighting to keep Gray out of his will because the mystery woman allegedly spent two years "living off" the couple before the "Diff'rent" actor cut her off.
Shannon Price lost a bid to keep Gray away from her late husband's body on Monday -- the actor's one-time business partner was given permission to visit Coleman before he was cremated.
But Price is adamant that's the last battle Gray will win -- and she'll oppose any claim to her late husband's estate that her one-time rival makes.
She told U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, "She was living off us for two months before Gary kicked her out because she spit beer on me. She was drinking one night and was just out of control.
"She had told Gary she was jealous of me because I was coming between him and her and I said, 'I thought you guys were never in a relationship,' and he said, 'She had thought in her mind we were together.' Gary never saw her that way."
The actor's ex-wife adds, "He didn't call her, didn't care. Nothing."
