Claudine Longet was a mediocre French pop singer married to Andy Williams, a TV and recording personality for many years and then divorced. All this happened before 1975, the era of ridiculously “soft” love songs and she fit right in, bossa nova and such. Details because this happened when my kids were either very young or not born. And the name is "lon jay".
After her divorce, she shot and killed America’s most famous skier, “Spider” Sabich. She was convicted of a watered-down charge and now lives at the age of 78 in Las Vegas.
I was a fan of Saturday Night Live in the 1970’s, not at all now. One of the 1976 skits I thought was hilarious then and still do now was banned later. It showed stock footage of skiers falling overdubbed with gunshots. The skit was titled “The Claudine Longet Invitational.”
So
sue me for having a bad sense of humor.
