Missouri then attended one year of medical school. Before starting in medical school, she had married her boyfriend Patrick. [cite book|title=The Other Hollywood|pages=553] Patrick got a job working as a bouncer in a strip club and Devereaux would occasionally visit him there. The other dancers encouraged her to enter the club's amateur contest which she won; this led to her working there to make extra money.

Hustler " magazine for their "Beaver Hunt" feature, which got published. At the same time Devereaux came in fifth in Déjà Vu's national Stripper of the Year.

[cite book|title=The Other Hollywood|pages=559]Soon afterwards, Devereaux divorced her husband; she later said that "Patrick was too much of a pushover personality-wise, and we'd been having problems financially."
