You can't say she didn't have a rich and varied life.

It wasn't until the last 10 years or so I really started appreciating who she was and what she'd been through. I heard Mike Todd died during the filming of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (that may be wrong). Her and Burton? Something that few people experience, but when you do, you understand the whys and whats.

She wasn't perfect, but there was and still is in her a basic kindness. Giving her money to AID's research seems to twerk some folks toast, but she's dealt with it via friends and family....so I can understand and respect the choice.

Correct. If I recall the producers gave her a week off to mourn, then it was back to work. Todd was her match. Like her he lived very large. He was the one who started giving her extraordianary jewelry. I think she was at her most beautiful during her marriage to him.
