LOS ANGELES - Michelle Triola Marvin whose landmark lawsuit against her former lover, “Dirty Dozen” actor Lee Marvin, placed the word “palimony” into the family law lexicon and changed the legal rights of unmarried cohabiting partners, died Friday at age 76.
She underwent surgery for lung cancer last year and died at the Malibu home of actor Dick Van Dyke, her partner of 30 years, said family spokesman Bob Palmer.
