This permanent A list actor/entertainer/host had a long time mistress who was not a secret.
Everyone in town knew who she was and her duties.
She had earlier been a pass around for this permanent A list singer who also was a bad actor.
The mistress loved being close to the A list actor/entertainer/host and would do anything to keep her position.
Our actor/entertainer made her do an increasingly number of awful things to keep her position, including contests where she had to service as many men as possible on airplanes while our actor/entertainer watched.
That led to her drinking and using drugs and having just the worst final years of her life.
After escaping the actor/entertainer, she never wanted anything to do with him again.
So, when she died a very early death, she must have rolled over in her gave knowing he was one of her pallbearers.

Mistress: Marilyn Maxwell
