Singer, actress, pop icon, gravy enthusiast.

Sang backup on albums for Chaka Kahn, Lou Rawls and Jermaine Jackson, became a teen model, recorded a song with Teddy Pendergrass that became a top 5 R&B hit.

Released her first album, became a huge superstar, had a ton of number one hits.

Became a movie star, was in "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner, which is a movie you love. Oh come on, you can admit it. You're among friends here.

Married Bobby Brown, engaged in all the stuff married couples enjoy, like hot air ballooning and driving through wine country. Oh and crack. Lots and lots of crack.

Divorced Bobby Brown, got full custody of their daughter, was sued by Bobby Brown for spousal support (he lost).

Tried to clean up her life, was set for a big comeback that was slightly delayed due to her death.

Was found dead in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton hotel … where authorities discovered cocaine, a drug spoon and a “bloody purge” coming from her nose. Sad.

Had a huge funeral, which Bobby Brown left in the middle of. He's a busy man, people.
