Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:04pm on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | Jade Goody, RIP.
On March 23, 2009, Lucy Mangan of The Guardian wrote about the strange television career of
Jade Goody, who died on March 22:
"At peace - and finally out of the limelight.
First Jade Goody was failed by her family, then by the school system and then by the collective imagination, writes Lucy Mangan.
Jade Goody was born into the public consciousness in 2002 when she took part in the third series of Big Brother and parlayed what everyone had assumed would be 15 minutes of fame into a seven-year stretch. No other reality show contestant has sustained a profile so long. It is tragic that her personal longevity could not keep pace. Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August last year. It spread rapidly and she died at home and in her sleep yesterday morning. She leaves two sons and a husband, Jack Tweed, whom she married four weeks ago."
