If there is anything biographical you wish to know about this Hollywood legend and Dame we at Hotelfashionland refer you to the most  copious and prestigious obituary pre- written and ready to print by the benchmarker of who’s who in recorded losses of the day …. The New York Times.

As for personal observations we loved her, her exquisite beauty, her ability to savor all the senses, her incredible passions, the phenomenal strength and bravery with which she lent her voice and starpower to fight AIDS when so many had blinders in place, her understanding of Michael another gift to all, as a rare human who could live above the dirty minds of others, her ability to survive and inspire others to do the same. Death be damned.
