Elise, Brenda, and Annie were all first wives. A movie star and heiress, Elise had connections that paved the way for her lawyer husband. Brenda's "family" business launched her husband s home-entertainment empire. And good-girl Annie sustained her spouse on his rise in the advertising world. But when their husbands were at the pinnacle, of success, they abandoned their mates for trophy wives --younger, blonder, sleeker models.
