If she had stayed married to Tom Cruise.

There have been some comments on this Board speculating about her marriage to Tom Cruise, how Tom was a fool "for not locking those down", etc.

But I would note quite simply that, even as a big fan of Mimi's appearance, she has aged poorly relative to Tom. If they were still married to each other, together they would pretty much look like son and mother. Sort of like George Bush Sr. and his wife always did. That is not good for a star's image.

So there is every possibility that the following scenario is correct: Tom is not a homosexual. He is a guy like me and most of the guys on this board: enthralled by Mimi's gigantic breastplex. So he *did* "lock it down". and, as already a huge star in his 20s, he had his way with our Mimi. Now, when he married her, the fact that she was nine years older did not seem to matter so much to Tommy-boy because Mimi was still in in her mid-30s and, because, well ... that balcony. But at some point after the marriage Tom's agent or personal manager whispered in his ear and said, "Tom, it's bad for your career to have an older-looking woman hanging on your arm, even if she registers on the National Geographic Topographical Map. The young girls who are your fan base are turned off by your walking down the red carpet with Whistler's Mother." And Tom relented and divorced her.
