Interesting coincidence... I was reading the new Kahiki Supper Club book last night after posting this photo. Claudine was once married to Andy Williams and the couple visited the Kihiki in the early 1960s. After their divorce, she was later charged with the shooting death of her boyfriend!

The police botched things when they took a blood sample without a warrant (she had cocaine in her system) and then prosecution completely botched the case by mishandling evidence that could not be entered into testimony. She maintained the gun accidentally discharged while her boyfriend (a US Olympic skier) was showing her how to use the gun and without the additional evidence they had to settle on a lesser charge of "misdemeanor negligent homicide". She only got a 30 day sentence which she served mostly on weekends and she eventually married her defense lawyer!
