Soon-Yi Previn
Third and present wife of Woody Allen, who is 35 years older than her, and who was for many years her de facto stepfather. Some believed that his relationship with her amounted to child abuse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_...Soon-Yi_Previn
Good pick!! Fun story: saw picture of her and Woody kissing. Told my counselor that instead of being turned on, the picture gave me the heebee jeebies. He said that means I have good emotional development.
If it had been Palin, I hope you would've said,"You betcha!"
