...divorce of pioneer Heart Surgeon Christiaan Barnard, 48, from his first wife Louwtjie, 47, was not exactly friendly. Louwtjie simmered while he married a younger, wealthier woman, but she publicly branded her ex-husband a liar when his memoirs appeared with some unflattering comments on their 21 years together.
