An amazing portrait of an amazing human being, 12 March 2012

Author: earlytalkie from United States

I admit I knew almost nothing about Tammy Faye beyond the ridicule she suffered at the time of the Bakker's downfall. Here I was expecting to see a laugh-out-loud camp riot, and instead I found myself tearing up at the inner beauty of this woman and the injustices she suffered. I was vaguely aware of her talk show co-hosted by a gay man, but I had never seen it. Likewise, I was unaware of her very progressive attitude (for a televangalist) toward gays in general. Throughout all her troubles (and there were many) she maintained a cheery, upbeat attitude. She comes across as a caring, loving woman who transmitted a message of peace, love and piety toward her beliefs. She encompassed all that is right with the evangelists and little, if any that is wrong with them. This lovely film, narrated by RuPaul (!) paints an indelibly beautiful portrait of a truly lovable human being.
