Personal life

She married actor Richard Belzer in 1985. They met in Los Angeles in 1981, when she was 33 and divorced (from actor Garth Benton), [1] with two daughters, Bree and Jessica. [1] McBride, who had been seen in Playboy magazine four years earlier as part of that year's sex-in-cinema feature, in conjunction with Young Lady Chatterley, [2] was appearing in TV commercials for the auto maker Ford and acting in free theater, when she met Belzer at the suggestion of a friend. [1] During the 1980s, she worked as a secretary at Disneyland. [1]

On October 12, 2014, McBride was disruptive on an Air France flight from New York to Paris. She was yelling and threw a tray of food. She was handcuffed to her seat by cabin crew. The pilots made an emergency landing in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, where she spent two nights in a local jail cell until her CAD$10,000 bail was posted. [3] In May 2016, a Gander judge ordered McBride to pay $26,433 in restitution and $10,000. [4]
