MARY-LOUISE PARKER - CRUDUP BEGS PARKER FOR VISITATION RIGHTS

Actor BILLY CRUDUP has allegedly begged MARY-LOUISE PARKER to let him visit their 11-month-old son, because he wants his child to see his dying father THOMAS.

Parker is still furious Crudup left her when she was seven months pregnant, to date his STAGE BEAUTY co-star CLAIRE DANES, but she's reportedly considering accompanying Crudup on a trip to South America so their child WILLIAM can visit his sick grandfather, website NYDAILYNEWS.COM reports.

An insider explains, "Mary-Louise refuses to let Billy take him out of state for fear that Billy will take Claire. She doesn't want Claire to see William, ever.

"But she offered to take the baby down herself because she feels for Billy and she wants his father to see his grandson."

Parker's representative adds, "Mary-Louise Parker and Billy Crudup are working hard together on all matters for the sake of the baby."
