Watching HBO's five-hour Billy Joel documentary about his hits and misses, ups and downs, and the stories behind his most iconic tracks, we learned that one person in particular played a major role in the entertainer becoming one of the biggest pop stars of all time: his ex-wife and manager, Elizabeth Weber. We just have to give this woman her flowers.
Though we were aware that Billy Joel had been married and divorced and remarried several times, we weren't all too familiar with what kind of impact his first wife, Elizabeth Weber, had on his life and career until watching "And So It Goes." Weber was originally married to Joel’s bandmate, John Small, but the relationship deteriorated due to Joel professing his love for his best friend’s girl. Some time later, Joel and Weber got together and married, with the latter also taking on the role of his business manager.
