I don't really think it's sad, lets face it she didn't turn into some ugly old crone, look close and you'll see she's still there. She's aged like everyone else does, she could be suffering from diabetes or she has maybe eaten one danish to many. What is sad is that at the time when here career was going the greatest she was stunning, except for those hair styles, you would think she had the same stylists and was as blind as Steve Wonder.
I'll bet if we asked her she would say she regretted little, hell maybe she would break down and need to be sedated, but in the end she lived a dream that I'm sure she enjoyed, well except for the Steven Segal bit
