is the only member of the Weird Sisters family
able to claim a royal title, which she does with gusto. Contrary to popular
belief, piano is not the Countess' first instrument; she was a virtuoso
on the French horn until a lightning strike short-circuited her career as
a blower. Undaunted, Luddy, as she is affectionately called (a source of
continual amusement for those who knew her over the course of her 23 hour
marriage to blues great Muddy Waters, and her much later and more intense
marriage to camp filmmaker John Waters) became inspired to tickle the ivories
after being told by a lounge pianist in the Detroit Holiday Inn that she
ought to "see what else her hands can do." Rumors that the Countess
is suffering from a nervous condition of unknown origins have been confirmed,
however both her doctors and lawyers insist it in no way is tied to the
ongoing investigation of the Countess in the deaths of her fourth and sixth
spouses. Click here for
