Marsha went on to work as Robin's personal assistant before marrying the comedian in April 1989.

Approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce. That doesn't mean the other 50% are happy. Some are only together for the children, some for financial reasons, some ONLY because of religious beliefs, some are just afraid they won't find anyone else, many are having affairs, some are actually happy, etc. 19 years was a good run. Who are we to judge?

Soooo many stupid comments. ..."the new wife"....they've been married for 19 years, together longer. It's not like he dumped his wife for her and had a 2 month, or even a 2 year thing. People should NOT stay together for the kids if the home life is miserable. Especially when alcoholism & drugs are involved. Children suffer in unhappy homes.

I agree totally Linda R. Except - sometimes it only takes one to break up a marriage.

hmmm, I am not that surprised at all. I just saw her profile and sexy photos on the celebrities and millionaires dating site wealthy mingle,com last week. It's said she is now interested in dating wealthy young guys on that site!

She probably got tired of his famous switchhitting, polesmoking, coke tooting ways, besides being washed up and totally irrelevant. That hairy little heeb couldnt leave those boys alone.
