Nothing To Lose

Happy birthday, Claudine Longet. She was a starlet on the rise in the 1960s, appearing on many TV shows, especially as herself, Andy William's wife, on his shows.  The couple separated in 1970 but stayed close.  Then, in 1976, she fatally shot her boyfriend, Olympic skier Spider Sabich, and was convicted of misdemeanor criminal negligence. (This led to the infamous SNL sketch "The Claudine Longet Invitational" which showed footage of skiers wiping out, all shot "accidentally" by Longet.)

Anyway, we haven't heard much from her since.
