Late crime-busting sheriff Buford Pusser inspired Hollywood. Investigators say he killed his wife.

A late Tennessee sheriff who inspired a Hollywood movie about a law enforcement officer who took on organized crime killed his wife in 1967 and led people to believe she was murdered by his enemies, authorities said Friday. Authorities acknowledged that the finding will likely shock many who grew up as Buford Pusser fans and watched 1973's "Walking Tall," which immortalized him as a tough but fair sheriff with zero tolerance for crime. The movie was remade in 2004, and many officers joined law enforcement because of his story, according to Mark Davidson, the district attorney for Tennessee's 25th judicial district. There is enough evidence that if Pusser, the McNairy County sheriff who died in a car crash seven years after his wife's death, were alive today, prosecutors would present an indictment to a grand jury for the killing of Pauline Mullins Pusser, Davidson said. Investigators also uncovered signs that she suffered from domestic violence. Get...

Now I'm wondering how I could have been so gullible and asking celebrities to kindly either knock it off with the fake romances or to do a better job and trick me more thoroughly. Because this half-assed fauxmance act is not serving any of us well. But before we get into that, let's review: In July, as 73-year-old Neeson and 58-year-old Anderson were making the publicity rounds to promote their movie, outlets like People , Page Six , and others broke the "news...

"Taylor and Travis make the perfect power couple and are a lesson and an inspiration to all singles looking for love and their person," says Susan Trombetti , matchmaker and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking.
