I agree!! Larry King had an interview from 2004 and she wasn't slurring and she seemed with it. When she got back in the spotlight after losing all the weight she began to go downhill once again.
There has to be an even better term for Stern than Svengali... I believe he was behind her demise. Sounds like he got hold of her when Howard Marshall died and pretty much destroyed her and her son... I just pray for the baby.
