Lamas meanwhile had a short (two-year) marriage to the press spokeswoman for "Falcon Crest", 26-year-old Michelle Smith, which produced a son (one of Lamas' "Falcon Crest" co-stars, Daphne Ashbrook, accused Lamas of fathering her child, also). After their divorce, Lorenzo and Kathleen married on Jan. 25 1985, in Las Vegas. That marriage ended with divorce, too, but they continued together in the TV series Renegade. In the middle of season four, Kathleen was cut out because of Lorenzo's interest in Shauna Sand Lamas (then known as Shauna Sand).
