Don't know that she's had a stroke, but, just surmised maybe with her appearing so wasted and seemed not all there like she used to be that she reminded me of people who went down hill so fast as a result of a stroke.
Yeah, she had a hard life from the beginning. I didn't read the book, but, my sister did and said she had a hard row to hoe. Then, came celebrity life and all those issues, etc. Sure did play a number on her. Scared me I'm no Spring chicken myself, but, 71 now days isn't ancient like it used to be.
That poor lady used to be so pretty, quick, etc. Now, she looks so haggard and wasted. Glasses are way to big for her gaunt face. I saw her with Dr. Oz when she first lost the 35 lbs she looked fine at 170 probably. I know diabetes is rough, but, I don't think she would have had to lose that much wgt. Don't think her husband died. Still say she must have had more medical issues. On that HSN video she was eating some kind of toasted cheese sandwich and one of her sons acted like she shouldn't be eating it and she kept chewing and smearing cheese all over her face he acted like he was trying to help her, but, she just kept on.
Something is wrong with her. God be with her. I feel bad for her.
