Celebrity's Relative

The Resume

    (October 25, 1939- )
    Born in Wilmington, Delaware
    Birth name was Shirley Martin Noznisky
    Married Bob Dylan (1965-77)

Why she might be annoying:

    She and Bob wed in secret, and he denied being married for months after.
    Oddly, the catalyst for their breakup was the remodeling of their house in California.
    Bob said, 'She never knew what I was talking about, what I was thinking about, and I couldn't possibly explain it.'
    In the movie 'Renaldo and Clara' (1978), she portrays Clara and Bob portrays Renaldo while Ronnie Hawkins plays Bob Dylan and Ronee Blakley plays 'Mrs. Dylan.' (It does not make any more sense on screen.)

Why she might not be annoying:

    During her first marriage, she was a bunny at the Playboy Club and a model, appearing in Harper's Bazaar as 'lovely, luscious Sara Lownds.'
    When she worked for Time-Life's film production division, D.A. Pennebaker noted, 'She was supposed to be a secretary, but she ran the place.'
    Dylan biographer Robert Shelton described her as 'wise beyond her years.'
    After their divorce, Bob started an affair with the therapist she had hired to help their children cope with the upheaval of their separation.
    She inspired several of Bob's songs, including 'Love Minus Zero/No Limit,' 'She Belongs to Me,' 'Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' and 'Sara.'
