Megan Marschack, Nelson Rockefeller's companion at the time of his sudden death, is dead to me!

Err, am I supposed to care?

She had a great ass at the time but couldn’t live forever.

Who cares if you care?

Who cares if you live or die?

She was the Monica Lewinsky of her day.

Upon his death New York magazine quipped, “Nelson thought he was coming, but he was going”.

Susan Dey was Team Happy.

Happy team

BUMP for Della

A blast from the past.

From the other thread:

[quote] Well, she was a big support for Nelson as he slipped off his elbows, dead.

What does "as he slipped off his elbows" mean?

Gosh, remember when SNL had great writers? That was funny.

Thank you again, r8.

One of the last of the Keep Your Yap Shut Era.

According to the NY Times obit, she refused a lot of money that she would have been paid to spill the details of that last night.

Apparently, shortly after Rockefeller died, his family requested she sign a non-disclosure document. It didn't say whether money was exchanged then.

Wow, that was a story I never heard before and I never heard of this woman until just now. I was only 10 when this happened, but I was around the same age when Jonestown happened, and the hostages of Iran, and even Lee Marvin's palimony suit, so I was pretty plugged in. (I had a mom and grandmother who read all the tabloids.)

I wonder if she ever knew Fanne Foxe.

Renee Zellweger looks like Marshack.

I followed the story quite attentively, but I never saw the photo of the attempt to resuscitate Rocky.

Was she the woman who explored forbidden Egyptian tombs with Trisha Nixon?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong. Between two marital partners, they set the terms of what the rules will be their marriage.

But back then, within that wealthy milieu, didn't wives take it as a matter of course that their husbands would most likely keep a mistress?

Or maybe I've read too much Judith Krantz.

That’s Tricia, R17.

Happy was not happy about Megan.

Happy was Happy just being Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller. And having once been Rocky’s mistress herself, she had to know what she was getting herself into went she married him.

What did she die from?

*when she married him

Perfect timing...

Per the obit, R22, liver & kidney failure.

Completely forgot about her, kinda rad she stayed quiet.

Hopefully she at least left copious notes.

No such thing.

Silly.

Della sez: "Apparently, shortly after Rockefeller died, his family requested she sign a non-disclosure document. It didn't say whether money was exchanged then."

First he fell on her, then a house did. Presumably for services rendered pre- and post-mortem. Her neighbor Ponchetta Pierce called the ambulance an hour after Rocky died - it took a while to dress a dead 200 lb 70 year old man. As I recall his shoes were on the wrong feet when the EMT's arrived. She had a lot to be quiet about.

She got a NYC townhouse in Rockefeller's will.

What did the EMT possess?

The obit, linked in Della's thread, is a trip. Obviously self-penned, and she doesn't shy away from her claim to fame one little bit.
