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.
All she went through was more than compensated by her accomplishements. She was one of the first (other than Michael Jackson) who actually genuinely CARED about AIDS victims before it was hip and trendy.
