FRANKIE VALLI and THE FOUR SEASONS : CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU

MICHELLE TRIOLA MARVIN - MARVIN MITCHELSON

"At first she accepted payments from him of $833 a month to support her while she tried to resume her singing and acting career. But after support checks stopped she filed suit for half of everything Marvin had earned during their years together. Her share would have been $1.8 million. Her cause was taken up by one of Hollywood's most colorful divorce lawyers, Marvin Mitchelson, who launched what was a campaign to change the law.

"The judge rejected Marvin's community property request but granted her $104,000 for "rehabilitation." The award was later overturned on appeal.

Afterward, she went to work as an agent's secretary at the William Morris talent agency, Palmer said."

DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES - Perfect Gifts

"My gifts may not be expensive, but they are just the thing, and beautifully presented."

Mistresses, especially those of you who are gifted generously and living the life of a millionairess because of your man and learning all about the good things in life, this may be difficult. You see so many beautiful things when you shop and travel and you want to give him a memento.

Still, if you are not equals economically, it is more important that you save your money than buy him expensive gifts that you cannot afford. BESIDES IF YOU HAVE NO INCOME OF YOUR OWN he sees that you are using the money he gave you to spend on him - as if you don't need it when you do.

For those of you who are working and have your own income, that does not equal what he earns, also be aware that something small and special, just right for him, even if it is not expensive, is what to do.

BEE GEES : HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE

MARVIN versus MARVIN LEGAL BRIEF

Link here to the LEGAL brief on the PALIMONY law suit that Michelle Triola brough against actor Lee Marvin, after being his mistress for some years.

Like many women in her lifestyle, she left her career behind because she wanted to be with her man as much as possible, but this did not work out for her. She had self supported as a singer prior to Lee but she had not achieved great fame or wealth as a result.

So many women, not just mistresses, neglect or fail to develop self supporting career because they want to be available to men: this is not just an issue for mistresses. But because mistresses sometimes travel with the men who keep them, they have a difficult time being involved in a full time occupation.

DEFINING MISTRESS - HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MARRIED

By my way of thinking the term Mistress isn't appropriate for every woman who has an affair with a married man.

(And please remember that I am well aware that this type of relationship can happen in homosexual, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and other relationships!)

A woman can be a Mistress to a man who is not married to anyone, or a man who is living with someone, or remain his Mistress even though he goes through a series of girlfriends or marriages...

A Mistress is sometimes the consistency in his life.

"A man has only one escape from his old self ... To see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes."

MISTRESS OF THE MONTH : MICHELLE TRIOLA "MARVIN"

Nightclub singer MICHELLE TRIOLA'S "palimony" case against macho actor Lee Marvin, who remained married to his wife Pamela through the years that Michelle and he also lived together, is our Mistress of the Monthly for December 2010.

Her 1977 Palimony case was a legal precedent in the still rarely publicly explored issues of what happens to the money when a person is in fact married to more than one other person at a time... In fact the word "Palimony" was made up in the press because of her case.

Michelle was brave to take the man she loved for so long to court knowing this could ruin her.

Michelle died at 75 years old, a little more than a year ago, October 2009. She did not go without love and companionship or die alone due to the spectacle that her suit caused. She was with actor Dick Van Dyke for 30 years after Lee Marvin.

We acknowledge that Michelle was a lover not a fighter and that loyalty meant more than anything to her. With respect, we honor her as Mistress of the Month.
