I agree with you. I also think that this struggle you mention, has
overcome her, because she always seems to dodge the spotlight. I
think the way the press treated her, and Russell Crowe, really took a
toll on her. It seem like, when she's in public, on a normal day, she
seems like she doesn't care about her appearence, or anything. She
seems down. That's just my opinion. Tammie
P.S. Glad to have you here, and i welcome the conversation.
