Whatever she may be, she deserves a spot here too.
Terminally ill British television reality star Jade Goody died in her sleep in the wee hours on Sunday, her publicist Max Clifford announced.
Goody, 27, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August last year, is survived by her two sons Freddy and Bobby and husband Jack Tweed.
The dental nurse died at home in Upshire, Essex, UK, after a very public battle with the disease. She shot into fame as a
Big Brother contestant in 2002.
Born as Jade Cerisa Lorraine Goody on June 5, 1981, her mother Jackiey Budden raised her as a single parent after her father left them when she was just two years old. Goody had openly spoken about her troubled childhood and her struggle to get an education saying that her poverty-ridden early days prompted her to secure a better future for her sons from a relationship with television presenter Jeff Brazier.
Goody, 27, died in her sleep in the early hours today with her mother Jackiey and husband Jack Tweed by her side at her home in Upshire, Essex at 0314 GMT, away from public glare and cameras that dominated her short life.
Goody's sons had planned to hand over a pair of hand-made cards and flowers this morning to their mother.
The star, who was being treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London, was shifted to her home after expressing the desire to die surrounded by her family.
She was in a coma-like state for last 48 hours.
Her publicist and close friend Clifford said "She was a very, very brave girl and she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage," he said.
