Almost all the men she had loved, dated, and gone to clubs with, would dump her, cheat on her or she would later realize they were married men.

He became the most in-demand actor in Hollywood, a main actor in over 52 movies including The Terminator, and has a net worth of over US$ 450 million ( Biography ).
