In 1958 when Jerry Lee Lewis brought his tour to London, the big story broke the moment the rocker stepped off the plane: the young girl on Lewis's arm was his wife, and she was 13-years-old. Over at Cuepoint, Alan Light talks to Lewis's ex-wife, Myra Lewis Williams, now a real estate broker in Atlanta.
"The only problem was that nobody told me anything," she says. "So when a reporter asked me, Who are you?, I was the one who let the big ol' cat out of the bag. It was a perfect storm—it couldn't have happened at a worse time, at a worse place. Everything just came together and a major explosion happened."
