To me, it's even more telling that after so many awards... all people remember her as... is this incredibly unlikeable entity that destroyed every show she touched except Santa Barbara. Why would people make-up stories or lie? What would they have to gain? At this point... of the game especially. This is the popular negative opinion I've heard hundreds of times by different people, some of who don't even like each-other, so there must be some truth there.
Maybe they are all wrong. Maybe she was this hard-working woman who did nothing other than work her ass off and try to improve Daytime... and got a 100 Emmys for it. Maybe she's the most misunderstood creature on the planet.
I saw her Locker interview and she seemed... benign and nice. But they all do, don't they. Not the most interesting interview, not the most intellectually stimulating conversation... From what I've seen of Restless when she was in charge... it's not my cup of tea. That's all I can say.
