or generosity or good looks or anywhere near fit body.
Maybe she has a spray-on tan fetish or something?
A yen for fandangled combovers held down by a caseload of aquanet?
Woo'd by clownsized suits and jumbo red neck ties?

Nah, it was the money.

him if he wasn't rich, she replied "Would he still be marrying me if I wasn't young and beautiful?" (paraphrasing)

It seems her reply to the question (paraphrasing) "If he weren't rich, do you think you'd stil with him?" and she replied, "If I weren't beautiful, do you think he'd be with me?"

It really was a perfect answer, but I can't find that interview, and I find that interesting

"Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You might not marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?"

It's thought it was funny because men are always complaining about women being golddiggers, but yet the rich ones only seem to go after the beautiful young ones, who seem to go after the rich men. There are always exceptions to the rule, but I don't think anyone in those kinds of relationships can really complain that they are being used.

Admitting your marriage is a sham is a pretty serious thing, whether you allow it r not.
