Billie Holiday's husband Louis McKay was a mafia enforcer who married her in 1957. Their marriage was tumultuous, with reports of physical abuse. McKay managed Holiday's career and finances, but he was also involved in criminal activities. After Holiday's death in 1959, McKay inherited her estate but quickly squandered it.
