Biography

Brynn Hartman, born Vicki Jo Omdahl, was a model and actress, and wife of Saturday Night Live and News Radio star Phil Hartman. The swimsuit model garnered a few minor acting roles, including several episodes of 3rd Rock From The Sun. Having been sober for nearly a decade from an alcohol and cocaine habit, Brynn had recently fallen off the wagon, and was mixing alcohol and cocaine use with her anti-depressants (which specifically prohibit such mixing, due to such causing violent rage in some people), and was facing a likely divorce. After a heated argument about her drug and alcohol use, Phil Hartman went to bed, and at 3am, was shot in his sleep by Brynn, who later that morning turned the gun on herself, orphaning her two children.
