Four days later, police discovered his rotting corpse, wrapped in a carpet in the basement storeroom of the luxury apartment complex where the couple lived. An autopsy found a cocktail of sedatives in his stomach and liver. The 39-year-old mother of three was accused of giving her husband a sedative-laced milk shake before clubbing him to death, and in 2005, Kissel was convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to life.

She had a cocktail dress and mink; I had my mother's slip. So many women were influenced by Jean, the barrier-breaking comedian who died Jan. 1 at 98.
