She was an unusually pretty girl.
I think mostly what happened is she got old. I am sure her lifestyle didn’t help either.
Trying to maintain that beauty doesn’t really help. In fact it usually hurts.
The phrase I am familiar with is:
"...Rode hard and put away wet..."
Thing is, her poisonous political views make her far, FAR more unattractive to me than artificially enhanced breasts and lips, face lifts, and excessive eye makeup.
I could view her as attractive in nearly a caricature style (Like Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit"...as she said in her own words: I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.)
