National Enquirer Blind Item
WHAT late Hollywood star’s actress wife is being dragged into a black widow conspiracy theory?
Turns out the widow has a sister whose husband ALSO died at an early age – and now the still-grieving widow’s in-laws think there may be a connection.
Who's died lately at a young age? For some reason all I can think of is Heath Ledger, and somehow I don't think Michelle Williams fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteArnold from Different Strokes? I always thought his death was a little sketchy. But then again I don't know if his wife is an actress.
ReplyDeleteMW and HL weren't married but you're right, they don't fit the bill.
ReplyDeleteDennis Hopper?
ReplyDeleteJeff Conaway? I think he's married to Olivia Newton John's sister. I don't know if Olivia lost her husband or if it was her fiance, mysteriously at sea.
ReplyDeleteShannon Price is a possible guess. She was an extra in some movie when she met Gary Coleman. Got married and divorced quickly, but stilled lived together. He fell down the stairs in their home and possibly had a seizure that would take his wife.
ReplyDeleteRumors circulated that Shannon literally pushed Gary to his death. Todd Bridges suggested she sold those awful hospital photos herself--to the Enquirer, BTW.
Not sure if she has siblings, but Shannon seemed shady to me.
Ack! I meant 'still' not 'stilled.'

ReplyDeleteI thought that Olivia Newton-John's ex-boyfriend showed up alive having faked his death?
@Layne it was the Globe not National Enquirer. She got $10,000 for it. She tried to go after the estate but I think she got shut down.
ReplyDeleteCould be Gary C.'s wife but he wasn't close to his parents was he?
ReplyDeleteGary Coleman is a good guess, except I don't think Shannon Price has a sister. She has a brother Shawn Price.
ReplyDeleteGary Coleman had no relationship with his parents, he accused them of mishandling all the money he made...
ReplyDeletethey did mishandle all his money, they even cracked open his trust fund that was legally protected under the Jackie Coogan law.
ReplyDelete@timebob--thanks for the correction. I knew it was one of the check-out tabloids, I took a gamble on it being the Enquirer.
ReplyDeleteGary didn't have a relationship with his parents, but they were making the talk show rounds after his death, IIRC. They were fighting to get rights to his remains, too. May not be them, but the pieces kind of fit. Then again, it could be anyone.
I would have said Brittney Murphy, but her husband died...? Unless the mom did it
ReplyDeleteThere was a rumor about Catherine Bach (Dukes of Hazard) her husband was shot at their home in a robbery attempt I think, something like that...but he wasn't an actor.
ReplyDeleteCatherine Bach's hubs shot himself while she was carpooling the kids to school, she came home and found him shot in the yard so he wouldn't leave a mess or devalue the home.
ReplyDeleteI think this might be Amy Yasbeck the wife of the late John Ritter. There is very little out there about her sister Ann Reece, who may be an artist. I feel ghoulish looking for an obit for her possible dead husband though.
Cecilia00, You're correct. Patrick McDermott contacted investigators in March 2010 after having disappeared off a fishing boat in Mexico in 2005. He wanted the investigators to stop looking for him and let him be because he had already "started his life over again." Sorry you wasted tears on him, Olivia. :(
