"A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
She was such a rare combination of true beauty and gutsy realism. A courageous actress, fearless - not without her faults or follies. And she lived her life on the cover of magazines! Such an icon, and one of the first to enter the fight against AIDS with boots on the ground. Kizzes.
