    I saw a programme about her recently with some Louis Theroux rip off journo.....she was surrounded by fans but led a very sad life and just wanted to have a "normal" loving relationship with a man but it never happened for her.

    :(

    Edit: Mind you....she does look a lot like Ronald McDonald in that photo.

    Wow only 53? :(

    I suppose I'm thinking of the wolfhound concept.
    Irish wolfhounds grow at an incredible rate and don't live very long for dogs, about 6 years I think? I think it's because they grow too fast and that they're so ****king huge that their heart can't take anymore strain.

    Maybe it's like that.

    You better tell that to Hong Man Choi. I don't think he'll like it at all.

    Lies, that Chinese chick from the photo in post 1 was way taller (unless of course I missed her death notice recently, in which case, RIP the long lass).
