But by age nine, she knew what she wanted. And her father was with her all the way.

The little girl with the big girl's voice took on some grown-up habits — drinking, drugs and romance. But in a way, I don't think you could be successful unless you've had a lotta failures, and I've had some.
The same can be said for her love life. Though she was never married, she has raised her three children as a single mother, and made no apologies for it. Throughout the s she carried on a public affair with Glen Campbell, who was more than two decades her senior.
