Maria's maiden name

[lexi87]

I was curious about Maria's maiden name. In most of the articles I've read, her maiden name is Benko. However, some, including one from the LA Times, have her down as Maria Virovacz. Does anyone know why this is?

Ive heard both too...we havnt got any details...but maybe she had a previous marriage...but Ive heard Benko many more times.

I've never heard of Virovacz before, so it's new information for me. I've heard of Benko though, so maybe Benko is from a previous marriage. I wonder if it'd be possible to search public records for something like that.

Ive only Heard Veravats from the "Fatal Passions" segment.

You know, now that I think about it, it does sound familiar. I have the Fatal Passions clip, but the name just didn't register. Whenever I watch Judith's tributes and videos, my eyes are focused on her, and her alone. There could be 50 others in the room, and I may have to do a scan of the room till I see her, but once I do, my eyes lock on to her. And so does my hearing. I can tune out everything else, I'll never tune her out.

I've only heard of Benko. It's highly possible she was married before.

Yes, Maria was married before. Virovacz was her ex's name. Benko is her maiden name.

OK, that explains it. How long did her first marriage last?

That I do not know. I wish I did.

That good question. Maybe few years but who know.
