ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Well, I have found out that she is well and is still a hottie at 61. My God The Woman Looks Good! Her and Andie MacDowell have that Hair, that beautiful frizzy wonderful Hair! Go Girl"
