Thanks for sharing, Milven. It seems she was there for many historic and adventurous moments. I would have also appreciated reading more about the personal qualities she admired in Mary, or the type of friend that she was to her. It would have made this tribute piece a bit more balanced. Perhaps she wanted to keep those thoughts private, hence her choice to focus on her memories of their shared glamorous life in LA together.
Since Margie felt it was necessary to mention Diana and her dislike of her [[and vice versa), in Diana's defense, it's common for any celebrity to be surrounded by hanger-on types who try to interject themselves into their inner circle. It's possible Diana looked her up and down and thought, "Who is this woman that's now constantly coming around and telling us what we should do?" I'm sure she understandably felt annoyed by her suddenly hanging around. However, instead of owning up to her part in this or trying to understand where Diana was coming from, it's probably easier to tell everyone, "Diana Ross was a bitch to me!" Makes for an interesting story
Although again, I don't know how necessary it is to mention these types of dramatic moments when paying tribute to your deceased friend. It shifts the focus off of them, and makes it sound less like a tribute and more like an interview for J Randy's book, "Call Her Miss Ross".
It feels a bit superficial to me.
