I think the abuse she endured put her on the ‘crazy train’ of life and she was unable to step off of it and live normally. I don’t know how these celebs live as long as they do, I really truly do not. She was one of the smart ones to live that long, I know that much.
Smart enough to make piles of money, too.
I love Elizabeth, by the way. She was truly one of a kind and had star power of the greatest magnitude. I think she was genuinely unaware of her effect, to an extent, but she did have that “knowing” look when she wore her jewels like no one else could.
Given all that challenged her, she did her best and carried on quite well. I think this heroic streak is partly why she was and is loved so much.
