Her Netflix documentary, “Martha,” made sure the world didn’t forget about it, either.
The two met on a blind date when Martha was 19 and Andrew was 23.
They tied the knot quickly in 1961 after just a year of dating.
However, their relationship ended when Andrew was caught cheating on Martha in the 1980s.
His mistress at the time was Robyn Fairclough, who worked for Martha as her personal assistant.
An aspiring florist, Fairclough was in charge of arranging and prepping the celebrity cook’s flowers.
“It was like I put out a snack for Andy.”
At the time, Fairclough was 21 years younger than Andrew.
After Martha discovered her ex-husband’s infidelity, she unraveled along with Andrew’s devastating secret.
“She would be frantic.
Migraines and sleeplessness,” Martha’s friend Kathy Tatlock said.
“At one point she showed me where she tore her hair out of her own head.
She was mean to her staff.”
However, Fairclough was definitely the last.
“He didn’t know I was married.
“He was emotional.
It’s just because it was an emotional place.
It was unlike anything I had ever experienced.”
“It was just emotional, of the moment.
That’s how I looked at it,” she said.
Meanwhile, Martha never remarried, but has dated a few potential suitors in the pastlike actor Anthony Hopkins.
