Flynt Althea

American publisher with her husband of the Hustler magazine. At the age eight, her dad went on a homicidal rampage, killed his wife and two others, then shot himself. She ran away from an orphanage at 17, blowing her $10,000 inheritance on clothes and drugs. She got a job as a go-go dancer at one of Larry Flynts Ohio clubs. They were both renegades with bawdy dreams. "Hustler" began as a newsletter to promote Larrys clubs in 1974, an inventively obscene celebration of debauchery and carnality, a porn magazine that made them millionaires by 1976. They moved into a two million Bel Aire mansion. On 3/06/1978, Larry was shot by a sniper; shattered his spine. She stayed loyal to him, never leaving his side. In 1982, she had a hysterectomy. Her heroin addiction escalated after Larry was shot. Althea died June 27, 1987, her body found in a filled bathtub. She had AIDS-related complex. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
