Needless to say she got on my radar because I am huge VD fan back to "Full Metal Jacket" and his turn as a train stop on the TV show "Homicide". Thems were the dayz.

I saw an interview she did recently and it became more clear why she has/had such issues with self-acceptance. She had a really, really bad and violent childhood. I mean, all of the things we'd imagine a child might need to grow into a stable, productive, healthy adult were virtually absent in her formative years, save for the sporadic intervention of a lone gaurdian angel in the form of a teacher, and acting. That she came out as well as she did is somewhat a miracle.
