Marilyn Miglin—the Chicago beauty mogul who rose to fame as a saleswoman on the Home Shopping Network and was thrust into the national limelight again in 1997 when her husband, business tycoon/philanthropist Lee Miglin, was murdered by Gianni Versace killer Andrew Cunanan—died in Chicago at age 83, Deadline reported.
According to CBS Chicago, Marilyn died from complications of a stroke.
Miglin, who started her beauty company and boutique in Chicago in 1963, went on to found the cosmetics powerhouse Marilyn Miglin Cosmetics, and hosted her program on the Home Shopping Network for more than 25 years.
In the 2018 FX drama The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Judith Light portrayed Marilyn (in an Emmy-nominated role) while Mike Farrell portrayed Lee.
Miglin is survived by two children.
