yes, I had only known that due to a Lightfoot documentary I watched a while back though
However Cathy Smith, what a complex life, eh?
as a kid I just knew her as the Belushi lady, but the muse for Lightfoot, dalliances with rockstars from Levon Helm to Keith Richards, taught computer work to member of the Manson family while in person, worked for the real life lawyer played by Albert Finney in the Erin Brockovich movie etc! read her obit in the globe and mail and every paragraph was a completely different story (except for the sex and drugs that were recurring themes)
