In 1993, she was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Year.

He later worked as an assistant dean for the institution.

He became an oil magnate when he became involved in Koch Industries.

In 1961, his marriage to Eleanor ended, and Marshall subsequently married a woman named Bettye Bohanon.

After Bohanon became ill with Alzheimer’s disease, he took on a mistress known as Lady Walker.

In 2000, Smith recounted their first meeting during a “20/20” appearance.

The two then began to spend more and more time with each other outside of the club.

However, the marriage was short-lived and ended when the 90-year-old Marshall died in 1995 from stomach cancer.

Smith claimed that she was entitled to Marshall’s $1.6 billion fortune.

Smith was later awarded $474 million.

Pierce opposed this, but he and Smith died before settling the case.
