He Took the Ring Back

Lee had planned the perfect wedding, where she would marry the man of her dreams. In true Lee flair, it was going to be a big deal, even being labeled the society marriage of the year. Cope, on the other hand, cancelled the wedding the evening before. You guessed it: Lee’s older sister was behind the whole thing. According to Cope, her lawyers called him and asked him to sign a prenuptial agreement. He wasn’t just offended; he was also tired of dealing with Jackie and her “conniving” methods. Lee had just lost her fiance and future, but she was about to lose far more.

Jackie Had the Last Laugh

Lee took a long time to get over Cope and the fact that she was dumped the night before her wedding. We don’t know about you, but we can’t imagine how someone recovers from it. Nonetheless, she did get married to Herbert Ross in 1988. Just as life was returning to normal, she learned that Jackie was ill. Jackie had lymphatic cancer, which was spreading aggressively. Jackie passed suddenly unexpectedly, leaving Lee heartbroken. Although the sisters loved one other, their competition came first. And Jackie had the last laugh. She was exceedingly affluent at the time of her death and made it a point to distribute her possessions to friends and family. To her younger sister, Lee? She left nothing.
