The other was never official because she found out after the brief marriage that the football scout hadn’t divorced his first wife. On Nov. 13, 1970–“Friday the 13th,” Mo met John Wesley Dean III, during a trip to California looked her up on the recommendation of Rep. Barry Goldwater Jr. Two days later, John Dean asked her to spend Thanksgiving with him in the Virgin Islands, and they began a whirlwind courtship that ended six weeks later with Mo moving to Washington. He proposed, and they were married in October 1972, four months after the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex. That summer of 1973, she stoically stood by her husband no matter what. Impeccably dressed, flawlessly made up, her hair pulled back into a polished bun, she mesmerized the nation with the silent vigil she kept behind her husband’s witness table day after day at the Watergate hearings while his testimony brought down a President. Her presence got national attention at the time. Her best known written work is “Washington Lives,” which was covered by People in 1987. The book was set in 1989 and described as a “steamy literary debut with a tale of passion on the Potomac.”. More
