That being said, whatever other people feel about her level of fame, she feels very very good about herself and is thrilled with her life other than she would like a little bit better financial security. And ultimately,How one feels about oneself is what’s important and Mary is quite happy with Mary and I say good for her!
I did find out that Mary will be on the View on October 29th
Same here. This should be great. Whoopi wrote the forward to Mary's book.Quote:

We are just engaging in a tad o' 'tit-for-tat' for the benefit of some posters who turn pretty much every thread on the forum into a Diana-Denying hate jeremiad and inserting a bit of reality into the state of Mary's endeavours. Best to you!Quote:

She is also kind, accomplished, inquisitive, friendly, A blast to be with, Is more fun than anyone I know to share a bottle or two of the grape with, plus - SHE’S AN ORIGINAL SUPREME - DUH!!! LOL
Mary knows I’m a huge fan of Diana and is totally cool with that, but I don’t talk about her much because I know Mary is “issue laden” on the topic of Diana. I do believe she means it when she said she loves her, but I also believe, and understand why mind you, that she is jealous of her. She may not even be aware of it, but it is in her speak and manifested itself frequently back when she was recording and touring and putting out new records all the time…… I never mentioned that stuff to her like but she would bring it up to me always wanting to know what I thought of this or what I thought of that record or album or tour. If I love something I would be truthful but I wouldn’t go on and on end it would be awkward sometimes being in the car and hearing her current hit on the radio. I was also much more generous with my words if it was a project I didn’t care for. That is the side of Mary that wrote her books and went public with RTL…… A side of Mary I do not like at all and I can admit to a certain level of hypocrisy because my condemnation of these subjects has been verbalized - but quite sparsely.
Right??!! And ... not to mention the importance of the image that was posted of Freda, about an inch from soft-core porn, instead of anything regarding her talent.Quote:

There are three versions of their story. Diana's, Mary's and the truth. Lets just leave it at that.
Diana is a woman who does not let herself go into bitterness. I don't know if it's natural for her or if it's a discipline, but she's very strong.
When Liza Minnelli won the Oscar, which is an opportunity that rarely happens again, Diana took the high road. Barely 4 years later and she was singing with Liza at Studio 54.
When you think of all the resentment that some singers have towards Diana, because they don't shine as brightly as she does, you can only admire Miss Ross' attitude.
I can easily understand why this is difficult for Mary Wilson.
I believe Mary wants to love Diana, but cannot keg go of the past - despite her appearance to the contrary. She can let a little dig slip sometimes.....
DR strikes me as someone who if bad things happen, she lets it simmer for that day and then the next moves on with her head up. It's easy to buy into the media image that she's always impossible but who doesn't have down days? Most determined people are gonna come out a certain way but they mean well. That's who Diana is.
I think Diana Ross can probably carry a grudge as well as anyone else can. What she doesn't do is run all around town talking about it to everybody who will listen. She seems to keep her feelings about a lot of people to herself. In my book that's a good thing. That way when they start slinging mud in her direction, they ultimately only make themselves look bad because the lady isn't slinging anything back. She's living her life unbothered and I love it.Quote:
