Michele BennettMichel Bennett married Baby Doc Duvalier in 1980. Their wedding, Haiti's social event of the decade, cost an unprecedented US$3 million.
Fireworks for the ceremony alone cost $100, 000. Madame Duvalier at first endeared herself to the population by distributing clothes and food to the needy and opening several medical clinics, but she soon became famous for her cruelty, rapacity, and enthusiastic shopping.
The Duvaliers had two children, Francois Nicolas and Anya.
