Yup used to watch her when she did her shows on PBS with mom; with both of us being artists. She was brilliant and some times funny in her interpretation of the art and sculptures.

...and so frank with her explanations and commentary... regardless of subject matter. What some may have thought as titillating, she exposed the under-meaning. RIP Sr. Wendy.

Yeah, I remembered seeing a headline about her back then, but it was a "sidebar" link in some other article I was reading. I don't actively read or watch very much "entertainment" media, but I didn't see or hear much else about her back then either. I came across that Tweet photo today and thought it was odd that aside from writing such a dismissive headline that THR waited all this time to write an obituary. The linked article has some other points that THR neglected.
