    <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;SPAN class="quote_author"&gt;On 8/13/2014 &lt;STRONG&gt;JeanLouiseFinch&lt;/STRONG&gt; said:&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;P&gt;Connie's no spring chicken anymore. She was quite a looker back in the day and could really sing. I saw her last night as well, and agree that her lips didn't seem right. But we've got to hand it to her and Patty Duke, two women who have seen extreme darkness and horrible treatment in their lives, but got the right help and were able to be victorious. The point, I think, is that if Karen Carpenter, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, John Belushi, Heath Ledger, Robin Williams, (and the list goes on) could have latched onto a lifeline, their lives could have been much different.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt; I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on one point. I'm not sure you can compare all of these people's situations equally. Depression is a form of mental illness. It's in the way the brain is wired. And I would venture to say that there is a spectrum in its severity. I would think the person who has it can do their best, but in some cases the disease wins out. Not for the lack of trying to control it. Sometimes it's just too much. In Robin Williams' case, my impression is that he did fight it valiantly. It was probably a victory for him that he lived to 63. For someone to kill themselves in such a way, the illness had to be pretty deep. I don't think it was a matter of him not trying as hard as he could. I think in the end, the illness just won out. Sometimes the illness is stronger. We seem to have this idea that if only you try hard enough, you can overcome it. But that isn't always the case. And I would also venture to say that for those that do seemingly overcome it, every day is a battle.</description>

      <description>I had no idea it was her until I saw her name on the screen. Wow. I think it had less to do with any surgery she had and more to do with the rough life she's had, especially after that rape. She's got a lot of miles on her.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I ain't watched the factor yet tonight but I DVR all his shows. Will check it out as Connie was always one of my favorite singers. Her voice and the late Karen Carpenter were ones I could listen to for hours. Soft and smooth they were years ago.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
