Jerry Lee Lewis
Jerry Lee Lewis, the rock and roll legend known for his electrifying performances, experienced a tumultuous personal life with seven marriages. His marriage to Myra Gale Brown, his 13-year-old cousin, stands out for its controversy and allegations of mistreatment by Brown. Another striking event in his marital history was the tragic death of his fourth wife, Jaren Elizabeth Gunn Pate, who drowned in a swimming pool.
The drama didn’t end there; Lewis’s fifth wife, Shawn Stevens, died under mysterious circumstances just 77 days after their wedding. He found some stability with Kerrie McCarver, with whom he was married from 1984 until 2004. His final marriage was to Judith Brown in 2012, ending in divorce two years later. Jerry Lee Lewis passed away in 2022 at the age of 87, leaving behind a legacy filled with both musical brilliance and personal controversy.
