Nicole Brown Simpson was a tall, beautiful blonde. A homecoming queen at Dana Hills High School, Brown Simpson always seemed to attract attention. One of her friends remembered her, at her death at age 35, as a "very vivacious woman."
Brown Simpson met O.J. Simpson soon after her graduation from high school. She was 18, he was 30. The two were married soon afterwards on February 2, 1985, with a child following a just months after their marriage. Her family and friends remember her as a devoted mother who loved her children, Sydney and Justin.
Divorced in 1992, Brown Simpson won a $433,000 cash settlement and $10,000 per month in child support. Friends and family recall their rocky marriage as Brown Simpson was a target of spousal abuse by Simpson. In one of the most poignant tapes played for the jury, Brown Simpson told a 911 operator that she needed assistance quickly as O.J was "going to beat the shit out of me."
The night of her murder, Brown Simpson was found outside of her condominium, barefooted, just outside the front door. Her throat had been slashed by a knife. Investigators believed that she had been conversing with her attacker prior to her murder.
The trail that followed became one of the first reality shows with a host of real life characters which captivated the television community for almost a year.
Having met the Brown family after this tragedy, I found that it is their strength as a family that must have allowed them to weather through this horrific sea of events. When I meet the family members they were still standing strong and looking forward.
