I mean...she was certainly unique, but I never could quite figure out why I was supposed to see her as a "legend." I suppose she's a fairly good actress? She always seems to be pretty much playing the same character...and her singing...?

I'm not sure she ever found a project that represented that idea so much as tried to pretend she did.
