Vai the AP: Supreme Court Backs Ex-Playmate’s Effort:

Justices gave new legal life to Smith’s bid to collect millions of dollars from the estate of J. Howard Marshall II. Her late husband’s estate has been estimated at as much as $1.6 billion.

I am only half-joking when I say: what a country, this America, where a one-time stripper can go before the Supreme Court of the United States, let alone win.

That having been said, it really is a salacious, sad, bizarre tale.

The decision was unanimous, with Ginsburg writing the opinion.

Of course, all this means is that the court proceedings in the case can continue, so no cash at this point for Smith.
