Her second husband, Claus von Bulow, a British society figure of Danish-German noble ancestry, was convicted of attempted murder by injecting her with insulin, only for the conviction to be overturned on appeal. He was then found not guilty at a second trial.

The remarkable saga was made into the hit 1990 film, Reversal of Fortune, which starred Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons as the high-profile couple.
