As a late millenial, i always thought she was an actress.
I know she did a duet with someone for a movie tie in song. I don’t remember the song, I don’t remember the movie, I don’t remember who the male singer in the duet was.

Poe’s Law and Godwin’s Law otoh, I’d never know about these people if it wasn’t for their “laws”.
The effect keeps streisanding.

But, do they also therefore know more about her mansion on the cliffside?
