Answer by Dunrobin
She married the former manager of The Doors. I’m not sure what she’s doing, career-wise. Had that scandal happened today no doubt, as an attractive woman, she’d have been able to spin more of a celebrity career our of it.

Fawn Hall
Fawn Hall (born in 1959) is a notable figure in the Iran-Contra affair.
She was Lt. Colonel Oliver North’s secretary from February 1983 until she was fired on November 25, 1986. She dated Contra politician Arturo Cruz, Jr. In one mishap, she transposed the digits of a Swiss bank account number, resulting in a contibution from the Sultan of Brunei to the Contras being lost. She smuggled confidential papers out of her employer’s office on November 25, 1986, causing President Ronald Reagan to form a task force which eventually put both North and Hall on trial.
In exchange for her testimony, Hall was granted immunity. She confessed to shredding a large number of documents. On March 22, 1989, she began two days of testimony at Oliver North’s Iran-Contra trial in Washington. Among her other testimony was a claim that, “Sometimes you have to go above the law.”
Later, she married Danny Sugerman, former manager of The Doors. The two were married until Sugerman’s death in 2005.
