Roxanne Pulitzer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roxanne Pulitzer (b. February 10, 1951 in upstate Cassadaga, New York) was a Cinderella tale gone horribly wrong. She came out on the losing end of a sensational divorce trial in 1983 with Herbert "Peter" Pulitzer, a wealthy real estate mogul and grandson of the famed publisher.[citation needed]
In the media-circus trial she was accused of being an "incorrigible coke slut" and an unfit mother who "humped almost everything she could get her hands on". The most outrageous accusation was that she had "slept with a trumpet" leading to the moniker "the strumpet with the trumpet".[citation needed]
She parlayed her notoriety into an appearance in Playboy Magazine in June 1985.
Roxanne Pulitzer was portrayed by Chynna Phillips in a 1989 television movie entitled Roxanne: The Prize Pulitzer, based on her own memoir.
