And I remember at lunchtime, I went down to the winner's circle and sat in the chair and I touched the microphone and the microphone moved and then a stage manager or someone

yelled at me and said, hey, hey, don't move that.

And she, you know, I think it was a really lonely, tough childhood for her.

Her dad loved her and did as much as he could for her.
