That was not the only time that Stewart stepped out on her marriage. In the film, she also recounts a time when she a “very brief affair” with an Irish man when she worked as a stockbroker in the '60s.

"I would never have broken up a marriage for it," she recounts of the affair.

One of the affairs that Andy was said to have had was with a flower girl that worked at the couple's home in Connecticut.

"When I was traveling, Andy started up with her. It was like I put out a snack for Andy," Stewart said.

"I kicked her out immediately. Andy betrayed me, right on our property," she continued.

Stewart and Andy married in 1961 and divorced 29-years later in 1990. They share daughter Alexis, born in 1965.

"He’s the one who wanted the divorce, not I. He was throwing me away. I was 40 years old. I was gorgeous. You know, I was a desirous woman. But he was treating me like a castaway. He treated me really badly. And in return, I guess I treated him badly," she said of the marriage.

Stewart went on to share that they have not spoken in 20-years at this point.
