Ben Thomas, her security guard, married her in 1995 and parted in 2002. They had one child, Buck. John Goodman was her sit-com husband only.

In her own words she said "(I) become famous quickly and lost touch with reality. I was in a sound studio for almost a decade. At the end of it, like Rip van Winkle, I came back and found that everything had changed. Suddenly there were computers and e-mails, and it took me another 10 years to catch up with regular people."

Phil Hartman was a key actor on "Saturday Night Live" for several years but died of a gunshot wound inflicted by his wife in 1998.

He didn't let many people get beyond a certain point, and he didn't have mates. His home was his private cocoon and very few entered it."

Barbara Hutton was one of the richest heiresses in the world. She married seven times. Grant was the only who did not claim to be a Prince or Baron.

Drake and Cannon were both actresses. Cannon bore him his only child, Jennifer. Virginia Cherrill was his first wife to whom he was married just over a year with Cherrill claiming that Grant hit her.

10. 'Gold digger' is applied to someone who lays out a plan to marry not for love but for the money.
