one of my first thoughts after i heard about her death was that it's very sad when someone dedicates their life to entertaining, gets eaten up by the cruelty of that sort of work, receives little sympathy for being in an extremely abusive relationship and having drug problems, and finally dies too young and in such a wasteful way. i respect human life! it's disgusting how being an "icon" can make someone vulnerable for all sorts of terrible comments and insensitivity.
i didn't know she was so active politically, thanks for posting!
