Madoff was ordered to jail after pleading guilty to a multibillion-dollar financial fraud scheme and could end up with a sentence of years in prison. But one person not joining the renewed chatter sparked by the movie is the Old Greenwich resident herself. She currently resides in an apartment and condo-complex in Old Greenwich.

Andrew Madoff died of cancer in With its release, the tabloids have once again been chasing Ruth Madoff, But people in her adopted hometown, where financial scandals impacting families are hardly an unknown occurrence, seem to be supportive.

In interviews with a dozen neighbors, former neighbors, residents and merchants in Old Greenwich this week, there was little resentment expressed toward the wife of one of the most infamous financial criminals of all time. Some even offered sympathy. Their son Mark left hung himself in December , while Andrew center died of lymphoma in September After his arrest and eventual incarceration, details about Bernie's constant criticism of Ruth came to light, while friends and family claimed that she had lived in 'fear' of her husband throughout much of their marriage.

It was also reported by Vanity Fair that her appearance was carefully curated during the early years of their rise through Manhattan's elite society to ensure that she embodied a 'perfectly preserved and packaged society wife', with friends revealing how Ruth maintained her looks through rigorous personal training sessions, regular hair appointments, and even cosmetic procedures.

Ruth herself even offered a glimpse into the darker realities of their marriage, telling a biographer in that her husband frequently criticized her to the point where she thought she would be 'fired' as his wife - and revealing that Bernie had a year-long affair with a woman named Sheryl Weinstein.

She was so paranoid he was going to cheat on her that she only allowed him to travel for 24 hours alone at a time. But despite his constant criticism, lengthy affair, and scandalous financial dealings, Ruth never faltered in her public support of her husband - and in a interview with 60 Minutes she even revealed that she had tried to commit suicide alongside him just months after his arrest, because they 'couldn't go on anymore'.

In her first interview since her husband's imprisonment, the diminutive blonde recalled how the couple swallowed a large number of pills and then lay down on their bed next to each other on Christmas Eve hoping to die, however they woke up the next morning unharmed. During Madoff's trial, Ruth was vilified by the public, and faced furious backlash over her decision to support him - and, initially, her apparent lack of contrition or sympathy for her husband's tens of thousands of victims, many of whom lost everything as a result of his Ponzi scheme.

Getaway: The couple also had a property in Palm Beach, Florida left - which was paid for with his victims' money - and a private jet right , which Bernie was infamously particular about. Lavish: During their marriage, Ruth had the run of several different properties, including a penthouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side left and a palatial mansion in the Hamptons right. Ruth went on to express her 'devastation' for the victims of her husband's crimes, many of whom, she said, were 'her close friends and family'.

For Ruth - who was raised in a modest household in Queens, where she was known as Ruthie Alpern - the wealth and extravagance that came along with her husband's financial success was entirely new. However she seems to have been determined to succeed as the ideal society wife, if anything simply to please Madoff, and help his ascent in Wall Street wherever possible.
