Michele Miscavige is best known as the First Lady of Scientology for her marriage to Church of Scientology leader, David Miscavige. Prior to her marriage to Miscavige, and before he became the de facto leader of the cult, she served Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard, as his attendant. Apart from assisting her husband in church affairs, she has reportedly arranged "interviews" to find new girlfriends for high profile Scientology member ,Tom Cruise. People who were close to her during her time in the organization opine that although she often tried to emulate her husband's bitterness, she was a nice person deep down. She was often the first person to help community members and mentored young Messenger girls as her own children. Her shyness, coupled with her position of power, made her isolated. It is probably this or their fear of the church leader's wrath that made most of her former associates overlook the fact that she disappeared from public over a decade ago.
