In 1981, business partners Lownes and Hefner fell out when Lownes was sacked amid claims of gambling irregularities — but perhaps more likely for stealing Hefner’s girlfriend, Marilyn Cole.
Marilyn and Victor met in 1971 when he chose her out of a line-up of trainee Bunnies to do a test shoot for the magazine. Then just 21-years old, Marilyn fell for the 43-year-old Victor quickly and they dated, but both also continued to have dalliances and relationships with others (Marilyn also dated Hugh Hefner briefly). When they finally married in 1984 they had been on and off for 13 years, and they stayed happily married until his death in 2017. Their life together allowed Marilyn to learn and grow culturally—eventually becoming a journalist specializing in boxing.
