If I'm not mistaken, Adrienne Barbeau was his ex-wife.

From IMDb
The conversation between Thornton and the diving coach about the Triple Lindy was only half-fictional. Rodney Dangerfield actually spent some time in the 50's as an acrobatic diver in Atlantic City, and there really was a diving horse in the 40's (ended before Rodney's diving career) - this entire scene was created after Dangerfield talked about the horse with scriptwriter Michael Elias, who then passed it onto director Alan Metter and they wrote it up. However the Triple Lindy was never a real dive. Dangerfield was also an excellent swimmer, and the movie incorporated a pool scene at the beginning to show this as well.

He was married to her when the movie started but quickly filed for divorce for her cheating and pissing through money for "things".
