Ellen Barkin Investor and Revlon chair Ron Perelman divorced Ellen Barkin by surprising her with divorce papers in January 2006 after six year of marriage and hired security guards to stand by as she moved out of their Upper East Side townhouse. She got even by selling all the jewels he had given her over the years at auction (the jewels fetched over $20 million), and showed up on countless red carpets that year looking smoking hot. Here she is at the American Cinematheque Awards in October 2006.
