Weddings, breakups, new relationships, deaths, awards, charity works, etc. provided the public with glimpses of the private lives of celebrities. Still, the most intriguing was the news thatHappy Actress (HA) discovered truths that eventually set her free.

HA has been in the industry for decades. Like others, HA was discovered because of her talent. Her opportunities were endless and the work provided for her comfortable life. HA never forgot her family. Money did not change her at all in terms of dealing with people. Rather than keep her blessings, HA made sure other than family benefitted as well. She was charitable. People praised her heart.
