I'm really not trying to rip on you or anyone, heck I never took her seriously, and most of my exposure to her was through lampooning from Mad TV et al. I rolled my eyes when her inheritance case went to the US Supreme Court. I just think she moved beyond being what she was after the tragedies in her life, and those of us who saw her as what she was now saw her in a different light, and perhaps even saw something about ourselves that wasn't so nice.
That's all - no hard feelings or anything.
I think you missed my point. PRobably my fault, sometimes I'm needlessly ambiguous.
The reason I asked whther she was noteworthy for anything was because, last I knew, she made two awful movies, and posed naked, was nice looking when she was younger, and banged an oil tycoon to death. That doesn't disgust me, and it doesn't delight me. It fails to really impress me at all.
I do think comparing her to Mansfield is a step to far, but to each his own. I laughed when the local anchorman compared her to MArilyn Monroe. Ms. Smith was atttractive in her day, but MArilyn was one of the sexiest women of all time.
