My best friend in High School had 19 brothers and sisters....

He had brothers he had never met, I think two died in Vietnam

I remember reading an interview with her probably 20+ years ago. In there she described how she had always been told that she was so beautiful, ever since she was a small child. To paraphrase, and only from memory, she described this state of things as intimidating, overwhelming and limiting. At the time I thought "yeah, sucks to be you, given how flat-out gorgeous you are". Perhaps she has acted out a desire to be seen as different than just her appearance?

Clearly she didn't want to be in the limelight anymore, so F*%K the guy that snapped/published these photos - making money off of another's suffering.

I read something about an accident, complications perhaps and then perhaps meds with extra complications..

Her Grandmother (Peter and Jane's Mom) was institutionalized for mental health issues and eventually committed suicide. Perhaps there's something hereditary going on.

Steve, if you are trying to post photos that are PNG files, it will not work. Simply rename them to JPG files, and upload them. It works! Just rename them with a different extension.




Not a standard factory paint job! Wow.

Yes. Open the image with paint, resize it if needed, then save it as a jpeg and post.

Just change the extension from png to jpg. That is all that is needed 99% of the time. No need to open the file in any program or app. Just rename it. I don't know why it works, but it does.
