I went to school with the Ronstadts. Daddy owned a hardware store in town.
And yes, she was drop dead killer gorgeous! Not that I was fit to even be in the same hallway, but I got to see her a lot floating around at class change.
She still has a beautiful voice, but has filled out a bit, as have most of us.
BTW, absolutely loved her in Pirate of Penzance.
I've never met her, but she always gave the impression of being the girl that was beautiful, but not stuck up. There were girls that were beautiful that if you said "hi" when you saw them would just look at you, and you could tell they were calibrating your social standing before determining if you were worthy of a return comment. Ronstadt always gave the impression that she was the girl who'd say hi to the football star or the dork, without evaluating what it did to her social standing.
Was that your impression?
