I wasn't going to reference her directly, but...yes, Tori, too.

Spelling also made Gilligan's Island which was about the only bright spot for an eight/ nine-year old me (1968-9) during a particularly "challenging" period of growing up.

Ok, this is an odd fit for this category, but I like to stir things up sometimes.

Marshall, legal adversary of Nicole Smith, dies
Sat Jun 24, 2006 4:01 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - E. Pierce Marshall, who battled Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith in the courts over his father's vast oil fortune, died unexpectedly this week, his family said on Friday.
The 67-year-old died after a "brief and extremely aggressive infection," the family said in a statement from Dallas.
The death in 1995 of his father, J. Howard Marshall, triggered a long-running legal battle with Smith, who married the oil tycoon a year earlier after meeting him while working as a topless dancer. She was 26 when they married; he was 89.
Marshall was one of the wealthiest men in Texas, worth more than an estimated $1.6 billion. Smith claimed that her husband promised her half of his estate. The son said that more than $6 million in gifts she received was all his father left her.

No matter where you stand on whether she deserves the money, you have to admire the guys tenacity. You also have to wonder how being rebuffed by the Supreme Court affected him?

Tenacity? Yes, all the J.R. Ewing clones have that selfish, vindictive, tenacity.
