Misc.: Michelle Triola

Asked the first word that comes to mind when they hear the name Michelle Triola, most older people would likely say without hesitation, "palimony."

Her suit against her longtime companion, actor Lee Marvin, netted her no cash, but influenced similar cases ever since the 1976 ruling of the California Supreme Court.

Among other things, that ruling established at unmarried people living together can make either oral or written contracts with one another.

Triola now lives with actor Dick Van Dyke, with whom she is shown below.
