When Raffin was a sophomore at Valley College in Van Nuys, an agent stopped her in an elevator and asked if she'd like to be in movies. Her screen career was launched – though it was a bumpy one._____
Through no fault of her own, Raffin made a string of bad movies in the '70s, including 40 Carats and Jacqueline Susann's Once Is Not Enough. Nevertheless, she cannily kept her face and figure before the public modeling for fashion magazines.
She met her future husband, manager and, ultimately, business partner, Michael Viner, on a blind date in 1974, and they married four months later. Ten years after that, they founded the L.A.-based Dove Books-on-Tape, which they eventually expanded into a highly successful book publishing and movie and TV production. Among their authors were Amy Tan and Sidney Sheldon.
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, only 25, in a murder-suicide.
He killed his girlfriend and then killed himself.
Horrible:
The argument apparently started about 1 a.m. Saturday, when Kasandra Perkins returned to her Kansas City home from the Trey Songz concert at The Midland and drinks afterward with friends.
Her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, lived with her and was mad that she’d stayed out so late, a friend of Perkins said.
The disagreement ended tragically about seven hours later, when Belcher killed Perkins by shooting her multiple times at the couple’s home, witnessed by his mother who was in from New York visiting the couple and their 3-month-old daughter.
Belcher then drove the few miles to Arrowhead Stadium, where, in a parking lot outside the team’s practice facility, Belcher fatally shot himself as Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli, Coach Romeo Crennel and other team personnel tried to stop him.
