She was born Linda Lou Taylor, but the 68-year-old Anderson, Ind., woman has had many names over the past 50+ years. That's because she's been hitched 23 times, making her the most married woman in history.

Linda can't remember her husbands in order, but she remembers the first one vividly. She and George Scott married in 1957, when she was just 16 and he was 31. They stayed together for seven years, making the marriage her longest.

Her shortest marriage? Thirty-six hours to Fred Chadwick.

*********************************************************************************

I've heard re-marriage referred to as the triumph of hope over experience, ... I wish her well and hope this one lasts the rest of her life.

1. At least she's not ruining the sanctity of marriage

...like all these wimmen in San Francisco!

[EmilyAnne]

2. Oh, shit. So I guess that means my marriage is under attack?

Thanks a lot, Linda!

3. I bet that was her ticket out of fornication: Get married so you can bang.

Just a thought...

[11 Bravo]

4. Quick, get her out there for #24, but for God's sake, don't let those damned queers ...

fuck up the "sanctity of marriage".

5. I thought this may be about a cousin of mine.

[LeftyMom]

6. She's still 19 ahead of my Mom.

Jesus.

7. OMG! You all cracked me up

I'm really at a loss on this one.

Linda has been married to a convict, a preacher, a musician, bartenders, homeless men, electricians, and even two gay men. One husband beat her. More than one deserted her.

But this hasn't discouraged her from walking down the aisle again. "I would get married again," Linda told The Indianapolis Star, "because, you know, it gets lonely."



Loneliness is just not that big of a motivator for me I guess :shrug:
