Victoria Rathgeb, also and probably better known as Angela Dorian, pleaded no contest today to attempted voluntary manslaughter. The 1968 Playboy Playmate of the Year shot and wounded her husband in their Hollywood apartment complex in October 2010.

Rathgeb, who was arrested the day of the shooting by the LAPD Hollywood Division, has remained jailed since October on $1.53 million bail.

The 66-year-old vicious vixen has been sentenced to nine years in jail by L.A. Superior Court Judge Barbara Johnson.

Her husband of 25 years, Bruce, has since recovered from the incident. It went down like this. Bruce left the couple's apartment on October 16 after Rathgeb accused him of cheating on her. While Bruce waited for the elevator door to open, Rathgeb shot him from a distance of about eight feet. Angry wifey proceeded to shove a small plastic bag in Bruce's mouth, which he spit out as she returned to their apartment. Bruce's injuries included a shot close to the heart, resulting in a 4-inch scar above his left pectoral muscle and the inability to move any fingers on his left hand.

Throughout the investigation, Bruce maintained his fidelity to his wife.
