As a woman who had to make in the 'man's sidekick' world I give her props. I'm not convinced of her unassailable character when she was part of JB's telescamgelist escapades. I think she certainly wasn't admirable during her jail stint -I mostly found her manner off-putting. This is not to gainsay any one of your positive experiences or takes on her. I think she was actually very creative in the sense that she was self-made; she was her own best creation, a kind of walking talking va va va voomdisciple full of floorboard stomping evangelical cheeriness -a real American confection of kitsch religion, Southern hospitableness, dimestore fashion predelictions and scarily earnest. And my experience of the creative is that they are never one dimensional, problem free people. She certainly stared the ole reaper straight on.
