Someone mentioned Kate Capshaw and it brought to mind a topic for us:

Women who have "homewrecked". I'll get us started:

Kate Capshaw
Kathie Lee Gifford
Reba McEntire

The first and last consider this quite a feather in their cap, while that
one in the middle tries to ignore the reality and hopes it will go away and
we will all just LOVE her.

If I remember correctly, Bridget Neilsen's wild affair with Marc
Gastineau broke up his marriage -- the relationship didn't last long, but
his wife was so pissed about their very public displays of affection that
when the affair went sour and he tried to reconcile, she told him to piss
off and got a very tidy divorce settlement...

Jeff Goldbulm. Another homewrecker: Princess Diana - broke up the
marriage of the Carlings (Julia and Will) when Diana and Will were
suspected of having an affair by Julia and Julia citied Diana as
'another woman' in her divorce proceedings. To be fair, you can say
Camilla for Diana and Charles as well.

That toyboy of Kristie Alley for breaking up the marriage between KA
and Parker. I can't remember if they got together before or after KA
left Parker. So this is on the dodgy ground.

No, Nancy wasn't a homewrecker. Ron was dumped by his first wife Jane
Wyman (apparently for being boring) several years before he met Nancy.
Nancy *was* the proverbial wicked stepmother though, to the two children
whom Ronny and Jane had adopted.

I dunno about that-- after all, Camilla had a relationship with Charles
BEFORE Diana did.

Although you have to wonder about these homewreckers-- why do they want
these unfaithful men? There is only one thing that is guaranteed in
relationships, and that is if someone cheats on their husband or wife
with you, they WILL cheat on you with someone else! I guarantee it! Why
do homewreckers (such as Kathie Lee) think it won't happen to them?
Although there is another class of homewrecker-- ones who like to steal
a man just to see if they can. Once they have him, they lose all
interest.

Actually, what I have to wonder is why no blame is placed on the
spouse who leaves. Do you really believe that if some person
walked up to your happily married spouse (apparantly; the blameless
husband) and said, come with me; they have no choice?

The helpless husband walks away ... sorry honey, I had no choice,
the homewrecker was here ...

If you promise to stay with someone by making a vow, don't
blame a third party for your breaking that vow. I'm not
judging people who leave unhappy marriages, but spare me how
the other woman (apparently) is the blame.

What is scary to me is that this whole thread is populated with
supposedly bright people who don't put any responsibility on
the man's part. This is like 1920's thinking. Funny thing is,
women had no power, but they were at fault for 'wrecking homes'.
All of a sudden they have all the power and the man is helpless.

Freakin' scary and the 21st century is around the corner.

That would be Sarah Davis. Who became Sarah Campbell.

Glen ran through quite a number of Mrs. Campbell's (including his
"high school sweetie") but now can be seen born again on the Praise
the Lord channel!

Not blameless. Of course. If they walk away, the blame
falls only on the spouses, for whatever their troubles were.
You don't put a gun to someone's head and make them leave;

Because she is. If she took off her blouse and yelled,

some guy, thanks, but, I'm married. No blame involved.

I thought both Mac Davis and Glen Campbell were notorious for their
little wife swapping escapade. This story was given a lot of press
around 1973-74. It was around the time Mac Davis did *North Dallas
Forty*.

I think it makes her less blameless. You could argue that people are
ethically or morally bound to respect marriages of others....I don't
know if I would agree with that, but it's a possible argument. But
it seems to me most people would agree that we're all ethically or morally
bound to honor our own vows. The "homewreckers" didn't promise anything.

I think the whole "blame the other woman" attitude dates back to the idea
that men just *couldn't* control themselves, and it was up to women to
control sexuality, to put a brake on things. That's why you would see
blame put on the other woman more often than blame placed on the other
man....kind of this idea as men as the innocent victims to women with
wiles or something like that.

Outdated (and thankfully less obvious nowadays).

But I agree -- it's not worth the hassle to break up a marriage, and, with
some exceptions, people who cheat on their spouses do not strike me as
attractive partners.

... causing Andre's ex, Dory, to collapse into the Nutty Bin. When
she emerged, shaken but sound, she began a career as a singer/songwriter
and had at least one album that was well-received by the critics. The
centerpiece song was called "Beware of Young Girls", written from her own
bitter experience. Lyric was something like 'beware of young girls, so pale
and so fair' obviously referring to Mia. When the whole Soon-Yi thing broke,
I could not help but hope that Dory still had a copy of the LP left to send
to Mia as a consolation.

Why do men have to be called different names? A homewrecker is a
homewrecker -- no matter what the configuration of genes and body bumps....

How soon we forget. . .didn't Sharon Stone have an affair with the man
that produced Basic Instinct -- Bill somebody. He felt inspired to
leave his wife for her. And Joe Esterhaus - who wrote the film - left
his wife for this Bill somebody's wife. Sharon and Bill were supposed
to get married but she dumped him. And he was left to suck his thumb
because Esterhaus HAD married his ex-wife. Anyone remember the name of
this producer?

Don't forget Tea Leoni.

Chris Thompson, executive producer and creator of her series "The
Naked Truth", left his wife and two children to move in with Tea.

Unlike the above and others mentioned in other posts, Ms. Leoni
didn't marry Thompson. In fact he was history in her life about the
same time NBC kicked him off the show.

Could be why she reportedly has such a hard time with ex-girlfriends
and women rushing the man she did marry.

Since she had broken up Sly's marriage, this is poetic justice!

This reminds me of how Richard Burton wrecked whatever "home" Liz Taylor
and Eddie Fisher managed to set up. Of course, Eddie left his sweet,
innocent wife Debbie Reynolds for Liz. Years later, during the wrap party
for "Cleopatra" that Liz had thrown, a drunken Burton strolled into
Fisher's home and began making out with Liz for all to see. It got so that
Eddie had to pull him aside and beg him to back off, after all, Burton
"already had a girl", his wife(Susan?). Burton reportedly took a sip,
stared right at Fisher, and declared "Susan and Elizabeth are BOTH my
girls!", causing Fisher to go away with his tail between his legs( Richard
Burton taking your wife is one thing; Richard Burton taking your wife after
beating the piss out of you in your own house would be devastating!)

Patti cried on Eric's shoulder, and they fell in love, but it was more like
George lost Patti by default or neglect.

Best Homewrecker story EVER, and you probably all know it already!

Stephen Hawking, who wrote A Brief History of Time,
is in a wheelchair with A.L.S. and was outfitted with a special computer

that helps him type into it and the machine talks. I'm sure you have seen
him on TV talking on his computer machine, propped up and leaning over in
his wheelchair. I'm not making fun of his condition but GET THIS. If you

That story is news to me. Perhaps that wife in question is the nurse,
but I got the impression that she was unmarried. From what I heard,
he asked his wife to leave him as he was in love with his nurse. She
had to leave (as the house was especially adapted to the needs of
Steve) and the cause of the marriage breakdown was, ironically, the
book that shot Hawkings to fame (A Brief History of Time).
Apparently, the wife couldn't stand the pressures of attention and so
on, so she basically tried to make him choose between her or the
public. He couldn't and relied on the nurse for some emotional support
and la, la, la - the love story was born. Also from what I heard,
Hawkings is someone you can either love or hate, with nothing in
between. He have that kind of personality.

I believe she was both a nurse and his best friend's wife. I also read
that whenever he became angry at his colleagues, he would run over their
feet with his wheelchair.

It's even worse (better?) than that. The woman he (figuratively)
ran off with was his nurse, and the wife of his best friend - and
this best friend was the guy who invented his speech synthesizer
(or the software for it, or something like that), with which I imagine
he sweet-talked the guy's wife.

I find this almost as impressive as his work in physics! :-)

That's right! I believe there was quite an article printed about Hawking
at the time of this wedding. Either in US or People, sometime in 1995/96.
