I remember Tammy Faye from the PTL Club back in the 80's. I usually let the religious shows fly right by when channel surfing, but those eyelashes made me do a double take & I stuck around to watch. I got such a kick out of Tammy it was almost worth putting up with all those other dopes on the show.

At the time I suspected she'd taken a few happy pills before the cameras started rolling & it turns out that was the case. Nevertheless, unlike 99% of the TV preachers, she always struck me as being 100% genuine.

One day they were having a panel discussion on how to keep the romance in your marriage. Tammy started telling everyone about the time when she & Jim were in college (BEFORE they were married) and Jim stopped the elevator between floors. We never got to hear the details because Jim turned white as a sheet and started shushing her and practically had to physically restrain her to get her to stop talking.

I'm going to miss her. I don't think the dear old girl had a phony bone in her body.
