Mega-beautiful Rita Jenrette's rise (or fall) to temporary celebrity was accomplished by an unusual route. Instead of beginning her working life as a model, club dancer, or stripper as do some especially attractive female "shooting stars," she entered through the possibly less respectable door of politics in her home state of Texas. Two years after getting her B.A., she was hired as Director of Research for the Republican Party in Texas. Next she moved to Washngton, D.C., to work with the Republican National Committee.
In 1976, she married up-and-coming political luminary John Jenrette , a lively young Democratic congessman from South Carolina. The two celebrated their nuptials with by enjoying late-night sex on the steps of the nation's Capitol. The wonderful D.C. comedy troupe The Capitol Steps took its name from this unusual honeymoon event.
Things were fine until John was caught taking a bribe in the admirable ABSCAM sting operation that caught some of our nation's leaders doing what they do best. The lovely Rita distanced herself from her disgraced hubby, did some talk show appearances, and shored up her finances by posing nude for Playboy. The couple soon divorced.
The fair Rita has published two books, one an account of her adventures in the political high life, the other a not-so-successful novel. Around 1990, she was working for Fox TV as an interviewer, and since that time, the still-gorgeous blonde has sold commercial real estate.
