However, his was also a overshadowed life for that marriage that would end in 1973with a almost millionaire divorce that separated the couple sentimentally, but not from rumors and media interest.

Four years later, the sudden death of the artist (due to a narcotic overdose) deeply affected the actress, who left the screens to enter the world of fashion with the Bis & Beau boutique.
