I've always loved her movies since Love Potion #9. I also felt so horribly for her when the press dragged her break up with her ex-husband out for what seemed like a long time. She had no control over his behaviors and it had to be very difficult for her to endure the prolonged poking into tender areas of her life. She has always seemed like a private person who keeps to herself and I'm so happy for her that she's found happiness in being a parent and raising her children. I wish them all the best for each of them
