Love her or hate her, Tammy Faye Baker Messner was known for two things: crying almost every day as she sang a Christian hymn on the 700 Club and her extremely exaggerated make-up.
Tammy died on Friday of colon cancer that spread to her lungs (according to a spokesperson).
Tammy often spoke about her abundance of make-up (especially mascara) and said that she was forbidden to wear make-up growing up so she flaunted it as an adult (being able to decide for herself).
Tammy also made fun of herself. Asked how long it takes her to apply her trademark makeup, she once told a reporter, “Five minutes. It goes real fast when you use a paintbrush.”

She was so cute. Sorry she had to suffer from cancer. It sure is a horrible way to die…

Yes. For me she will always have my deepest respect for facing a camera LIKE THIS. Even when the cancer had already destroyed her inner self by half, she spoke in front of the camera.
She looked like a female Frankenstein those days. Pure horror! But she can’t be pleaded guilty for doing this. Rather maybe ask a certain G.O.D how he can let stuff like this happen.
