This is a bit easier, of course, when you are the multimillionaire daughter of one of the nation's largest Anheuser-Busch distributors. But she had her trials too: there was a series of spinal surgeries for a ruptured disk, which occurred just as her husband was fighting off charges that he had misused his influence on behalf of a contributor in the Keating Five scandal. Eventually, she later admitted, she was taking as many as 15 pain pills a day, including drugs she'd stolen from her charity. She wrestled with addiction for several years; it was her parents...

They lived together for half a century, effectively like husband and wife," says Tatchell. "There were repeated allegations during [Newman's] lifetime about his circle of homosexual friends. It is uncertain whether their relationship involved sex. It is quite likely that both men had a gay orientation but chose to abstain from sexual relations.
