JENNY McCARTHY
HAVING NEVER TAKEN A LIKING TO MISS McCARTHY I FOUND MYSELF STRANGELY ENTHRALLED WITH HER PRESENCE AS SHE SAT DOWN TO TALK WITH OPRAH. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN AN ACTOR, MUSICIAN, WRITER, ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE PERSONA THAT HAS BECOME THEIR PUBLIC IMAGE. THIS IS WHAT OPRAH WINFREY DID AS SHE OPENED THE DOOR AND ALLOWED THE VIEWERS TO WITNESS A VERY QUICK WITTED AND INTELLIGENT SIDE OF McCARTHY.
PLAYBOY PLAYMATE OF THE MONTH TURNED TELEVISION HOST NEVER REALLY CAME ACROSS AS MUCH MORE THAN A FLASH IN THE PAN BLONDE BIMBO TYPE WHO DID NOT STAND A CHANCE AT HAVING ANY TYPE OF INTELLIGENT BRAIN FUNCTION. SHE RODE THE TIDE THAT BROUGHT HER INTO THE LIMELIGHT WITH HER SEX APPEAL AND GRABBED THE ATTENTION OF EVERY YOUNG MALE.
THE BIRTH OF HER SON EVAN JOSEPH ON MAY 18, 2002 AND HIS DIAGNOSIS OF AUTISM LEAD HER DOWN A PATH NO PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO WALK. HER LIFE WITH ALL ITS UP AND DOWNS UP TO THIS POINT MADE HER STRONG AND WILLING TO GO OUT AND SPEAK ABOUT WHAT SHE BELIEVED WAS THE CAUSE OF HER SONS AUTISM. PRESSURE WAS PUT ON HER BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY TO CHANGE HER BELIEFS AND RE-ACESS HER SONS CONDITION.
