When people hear the name Swaggart, they think of one man: Jimmy Lee Swaggart, the Louisiana-born televangelist whose fiery sermons and public scandals made him one of the most recognizable and controversial religious figures in modern American history.

Some people become known to the wider world not because they sought attention, but because someone close to them did. Sarah Ziolkowska is one of those people. A Canadian librarian, literacy specialist, and reading teacher, she has spent most of her adult life working quietly in schools and libraries, the kind of steady, service-oriented career that rarely makes headlines. Yet her name circulates online for a different reason: she was once married to Nathan Fielder, the comedian and filmmaker behind Nathan For You and The Rehearsal. This tension, between a genuinely private professional life and an internet audience curious about…

Melissa Lee Gatlin holds a quiet, permanent place in Billy Bob Thornton’s history as his first wife, married to him in 1978 before fame entered his life. Born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, her marriage to Thornton lasted two years, ending in a 1980 divorce, reportedly citing adultery.

In 1979, Priscilla Phillips, a devoted Marin County social worker and mother, was convicted of murdering her adopted daughter, Tia, and endangering her second adopted daughter, Mindy, by secretly poisoning both children with sodium.

She held a master’s degree in social work, worked…
Anwen Rees Myers has spent most of her adult life working just off camera, building a career in film and television production while largely avoiding the kind of publicity that follows the actors and directors she has worked alongside.

That framing tells only part of her story. Behind it is a woman with her own creative background, her own professional credits, and her own account of…
