...celibate single mom; he's a shiftless stud, currently shacked up with a dimwitted aerobics instructor. She's the owner of an Oakland, California, bookshop specializing in black studies; he's the proprietor of, and TV pitchman for, a car dealership. She wears authentic African garments to work and rides a bicycle everywhere; he favors inauthentic cowboy duds and hogs the road in a four-by-four. Oh, yes, she's black, and he's white...

But Marinaro, who nicely captured the obtuse swagger of a suburban stud, was only one of those to profit from saturation coverage of Amy's shame. Amy was another. For the NBC movie, producers paid $80,000 toward her bail and smaller sums to her boyfriend Paul Makely, to would-be gunman Stephen Sleeman and to PEOPLE reporter Maria Eftimiades. The Buttafuocos earned $300,000 for the CBS movie, and New York Post columnist Amy Pagnozzi was a paid consultant...
