The program was based on her 1974 book, Love Boats,[3] her anecdotal account of her time employed as the first full time female cruise director. Saunders was the author of Omarr’s Astrological Forecast,[4] a nationally syndicated horoscope column read by hundreds of thousands worldwide and that was originally created by Sydney Omarr, to whom she was briefly married in 1966.[citation needed]
In 1968 Saunders discovered her fiancé, the actor Albert Dekker, dead in his Hollywood home. The death was ruled to be accidental.[5]
