I almost didn't even look at this topic to "rate". For more reasons than I am going to go into, I had no interest in it. But then I opened it, just for the heck of it - or rather, curiousity sake. ... This lady was truly a wonderful person. If you are from my era and only remember her as the lady with all the makeup on tv, try to put that aside and forget it. In life, she really, really was a wonderful person with a big heart. As much money as she may have spent on any of her own things (but she really did buy Maybelleine, Revlon and that stuff, too) she gave that much and more to charity! That is just the money aspect of it and I mention it because there are those who criticize her for living an "extravagent" lifestyle. In reality, she lived within her own means. And no, she did not steal anything from anyone - ever. ... She was human and SHE never claimed to be anything else, but she bore the brunt of so much unfounded nastiness with so much grace. She embodied what a Christian is supposed to be. But that did not allienate her from being a friend to anyone who was not a Christian. This was truly a lady with Class and Love and Beauty to spare. Don't believe me? Google her. Go to the library and research her. Find people who KNEW her if you can, and ask them. Sorry if this is defensive, but I have seen so much that makes me automatically jump to a defensive mode when it comes to Ms. Tammy. She really was a very good person. And she deserves not only 5 Stars, but all the stars there are.
