Best part of these specials was Williams' wife, French Hottie, Claudine Longet. Longet, an actress and singer, is best known for having shot and killed her boyfriend, American skier, Spider Sabich. Longet claimed the rifle went off as he showed her how to use it. She was later convicted not of manslauter or murder, but criminal negligence, for which she paid a small fine and served 30 days in jail.







RIP, Andy.

You always find a positive in everything - even the Andy Williams Christmas special.
