Martha Raye & Mark Harris

A month before her death, 75-year-old Martha Raye married her seventh husband, 42-year-old Mark Harris. Though Raye left Harris the bulk of her estate, she also gave a substantial bequest to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). So what did Harris do with the money? Among other things, he spent a large portion of it... designing a line of fur coats!


Raye, Martha [born Margaret Teresa Yvonne Reed] (1916-1994) American actress, singer, and comedienne [noted for various recordings and for her roles in various films]
