From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Fanne Foxe (b. February 14, 1936) was born as Annabelle Battistella in Nueve de Julio, Argentina.
Foxe is notable for being involved in a sex scandal surrounding Arkansas congressman Wilbur Mills. Mills, one of the most powerful men in the House of Representatives and a 1972 Presidential candidate, was having an affair with Foxe, who was working as a stripper. On October 7, 1974 the two of them had been drinking and were driving near the Tidal Basin in Washington at around 2:00 AM. The park police pulled the vehicle over, and Foxe attempted to flee the scene and jumped into the Tidal Basin.
The incident attracted much publicity and led to Mills' resignation as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee two months later; he did not run for reelection to the House in 1976. Foxe continued working as a stripper, changing her stage title from "The Argentine Firecracker" to "The Tidal Basin Bombshell," and published a book, The Stripper and the Congressman. Foxe eventually returned to Argentina, and her current status is unknown.
