Now there is a lady I can respect.  I don’t know how she stays so young looking and vibrant.  I love her movies, she is very talented and has the Oscar’s to prove it.  But her personal life is so different from what we see in the public eye.

She grew up like most of us, a normal kid.  She left home at 19 to act in NYC and she struggled (like most of us did when we first left home).    I was surprised that she suffered from bulimia.  She led a happy childhood, but found out in later years that her parents were not the happy couple she had believed they were, when she read her mother’s diaries after her death in 2008.   Her mother suffered from Alzheimer’s (such a cruel disease).

I really respect this woman and what she stands for.
